Warnock on referees

There's an interesting clip of Warnock managing Sheffield United in a game at Millwall and he was complaining about not getting decisions because they were playing in London.
I always use to feel the same about us when we were playing up North.
 

Warnock on referees

Warnock has always been a bell end, pointing blame elsewhere when it suited him. A sour loser too often.

But he was right about the Swansea decisions, they were disgusting decisions. As was the stoke decision he mentioned.
Swansea are cheating their way to promotion.


Officials should be full time and paid proper, not that I’m saying they don’t get paid well.

He is full time.

EPL and EFL Championship referees are full time - they earn between £38k and £42k plus a fee per match -EPL referees are paid £1150 per match, EFL referees £600. Below championship are part time.

I agree, but let's not forget the other awful decision, the one they got against us. I haven't got much time for Colin, but hopefully he's done us a service in highlighting Swansea's systematic cheating.

If thats the case, then we need better than what we have got.

I think the word "hopefully" is the crux of your comment as I do not have the faith that the bunch of incompetents we have as referees in the Championship are anywhere up to scratch in order to see what is happening before their eyes...

Another school day on GPG. How many refs in each league are there ? Is it the case you only progress to the EPL if there is a vacancy due to demotion (does that happen) or retirement ? What is the difference between an EPL & EFL ref. Experience or qualifications ? One would hope all refs should attain a EPL standard regardless. Thanks teach :)

I think referees need to improve. Too often they get so much wrong in games. The ease they blow their whistle for diving etc.

Theres enough money in the game to make all referees professional , for all levels of professional football, prem down to League 2, even conference.
They should be paid well, better than now if need be, why not really.

I'd have given it go except I'm too old, too slow, unfit and dont understand the new rules. In fact I'm a perfect fit. Where do I sign up?
 

Warnock on referees

Each referee is assessed on their performance and unfortunately if they use common sense and they don't act like school teachers they tend not to get very far. A few years back a friend of mine who got onto the line in the lower divisions of the League was told to apply the laws more rigidly and not to be so friendly with the players as he was being marked down on his assessments. Needless to say he never got as far as refereeing at a higher level but with Referees Supremo Mike Riley (who is charmless and has the personality of a wet fish) as the man in charge we now have a procession of robots who think they are never wrong.

Unfortunately the like of refs such as Roger Kirkpatrick and Roger Milford are unlikely to be seen again. I always remember having a laugh with Roger Milford about his hair during a game as he was waiting for a player to receive attention.

So do I. I know he's not liked on here but I think he's an honest fella and always stands up for his player, what's wrong with that ?

But making someone professional doesn't make them any better at their job, nor does paying them any more. If it did, professional footballers would never misplace a pass, would never miss the target or mistime a tackle. But they do, as they are human. I don't doubt that we have the best referees available in the country officiating in the top 2 divisions. There are some that just make more mistakes than others and the level of scrutiny they are under now is ridiculous. Multi-angle, super slo-mo replays and suddenly every pundit in the world is a top referee.

Referees were not set out to be 'conned' to the same degree they are now, by players like Ayew and plenty of others. Some call it gamesmanship. I call it cheating. The governing bodies would really make lives easier for the officials by using VAR post match to heavily punish blatant dives and the like with big suspensions for these players.

Also Steve Baines, who was an ex player who became a League referee. I seem to remember he was respected by players at the time, more than other refs at the time.

From the (sh*t) Swansea forum:

“The penalty was cast iron and would be given nine times out of ten, yet that was even questioned by the Sky pundits initially. Everyone's going on about biased refs, but what I'm hearing is biased pundits and the noise these idiots are creating from their empty vessels will be listened to and will impact refs' decisions in our matches”.

Yes please. Please let every single ref manage Swansea games fairly and in line with the rules of the game, and specifically look out for their institutionalised and very carefully choreographed cheating. And then punish those cheating creeps.

No news on any incoming charge for Warnock?
 

Warnock on referees

You'd have thought you'd have heard by now as referees report would have to be in by Monday.

Talking of that - and off topic I know, sorry - but has anything happened about those handbags at the end of the game between Watford and Bournemouth?

As sure as night follows day:

A big shame the FA don’t charge Swansea for failing to ensure their players don’t act in an orderly fashion before the final whistle.
 

Warnock on referees

I think anything that keeps Swansea's recent penalties front of mind, particularly with referees, has got to be a good thing. Just the publicity that each has received due to the way they were awarded has got to make individual referees think twice about awarding penalties knowing the scrutiny they will be under.
 

Warnock on referees

Rules are rules fair enough but would be nice if the officials followed them as well, you'd think the crap decisions they received is punishment enough.. joke
 

Warnock on referees

See he’s been fined £7000 by the FA following his comments after the Swansea game, that’s a bloody lot , when a lot of us agree with his comments re Swansea
 

Warnock on referees

Maybe Watford and the Bees should pay half each for him, as by design or coincidence, Swansea have gone to pot since he called them out.

All we need now is for someone to call out Watford.
