Both were crucial to a goal being scored - Rose didn’t just steak a couple of years he stole about 10 to 15 which allowed him to find Kane - Right in front of the linesman and Dyche was rightly annoyed. Swings and roundabouts- Spurs got the benefit of a poor decision as well as being stung by one - nicely balanced and right resultWhy do you keep trying to suggest that incorrectly awarding a corner is on the same level as allowing someone to borrow a couple of yards on a throw?One of those is a massive error, the other one is a bit of leniency that we see in every single game.
You are not trying to defend Poch and his assistant are you? The corner was a flurry of legs nad bodies, a ball bouncing around, a 50-50 call. They happen for corners and throw ins all of the time. The linesman made that call and I saw why he did it. He didn't have slow mo from 4 angles. Poch should have been angrier with his defence who then failed to deal with a corner and gave the Burnley striker a free header. Deal with what happened, what is happening in front of you, don't keep going back further and further in a move.Why do you keep trying to suggest that incorrectly awarding a corner is on the same level as allowing someone to borrow a couple of yards on a throw?
There has been a brilliant idea for years that’s never been followed up.. all those youth players who never make it who clearly won’t make it train them to be refs
It's a balance of experience and fitness. I think the modern ref is incredibly fit, they are constantly monitored and checked. You need the refs to build up their knowledge of how to deal with situations and pressure and that comes with years under their belts, coming through the leagues. No doubt certain ones get fast tracked, Michael Oliver was, but otherwise they have it about right imo
I don't agree. You earn respect by the way you conduct yourself. Mike Dean is a joke of a man who doesn't deserve respect simply because he puts on a ref's uniform. I play Sunday League footy, and I can assure you the referees who treat the players like adults, and explain their decisions rationally without antagonising the players get no abuse. The ones who do get abused are the ones on a power trip.
It's not the clubs it's the leagues. How long to expect Rodgers to potter about in Scotland, walking a tinpot league and then getting spanked in Europe? He's been there and done it. I'm sure he's relishing a return to the big league.
Yeah I agree the corner was an easy mistake to make, especially when you're as poorly positioned as Dean was. But as we've established, the really heated reaction from Poch and the coaches wasn't about that, it was in response to some unprofessional comment that Dean said to them after the game. That level of anger would indeed have been disproportionate to the incorrect of one corner, yes.
It’s not all about fitness, they are up against 20yr olds who are lying and cheating as well, the game has evolved and talking about respect of uniforms is going back to Victorian times,
You either respect the uniform or you don’t.
I've been shouting for years to get them mic'd up for us to hear but no way will the PL do that as the image of the players and the PL will be there for all to hear. The refs are mic'd up between themselves and I would guess they can be heard by an assesor off field.
He's too smart to try and accuse Dean in the post-match interview when all the FA would do is back their own and give him a bigger fine. Usually his composure is second to none, and I'm sure he's ashamed that he allowed himself to be riled like he was.
I don't abuse anyone, I was talking in a general sense about what I've witnessed at Sunday League level. And the refs do have that respect from minute one, until they lose it with their own actions and behaviour. Just like anyone else.
Yes he is but his performance level has dropped massively.
Isn’t that why most refs give them 50/50 decisions to the defence .
So it’s not the players or officials fault, it’s the governing bodies?
