Standard of Refereeing

[Footy-Vill]

Vs Fulham official is South Yorkshire Doncaster Darren England
VAR: Paul Tierney.

He's officiated us 7 times in the Premier League and have won 2 drawn 1 lost 4.

Good news he likes to award us penalties! 4 in 7 matches.

Complete spanner, loses control of the game.

Are you saying he gives England a bad name ?

[Footy-Vill]

Darren England is one of the few refs to go to the screen and stick with his own decision…poss the only one to do it at VP?

He was also the VAR official for infamous Spurs v Liverpool game when he was at Stockley Park and the Luis Diaz's goal for Liverpool was incorrectly ruled out for offside.

[Footy-Vill]

Interesting performance by Darren England today.
Got their sending off right
The penalty wasn't given by him and instructed by VAR to go to the monitors then gave it against Cash
A couple of the yellows were harsh for our players
And sent of Philogene for two cautions.

[Footy-Vill]

Vs Arsenal officials will be  Chris Kavanagh and VAR John Brooks.
Still no SAOT introduced I wonder when that will come in as it's been delayed but due to be implemented this season in the Prem

Kavanagh booked over half the outfield and gave us 7 cards v Bournemouth earlier this season in 1-1 draw!

In 14 games Kavanagh given out the second most yellow cards this season. 72

That Bournemouth game was weird, there was barely a bad tackle in the game.

If I remember rightly, he gave a soft one early on and then was probably obligated to keep going.

I don’t really see why making a poor decision early on means that becomes the benchmark and basically you perpetuate that original mistake repeatedly.

It shouldn’t but it does happen and that Bournemouth game was a classic example. He booked someone early on at a ridiculously low bar (free kick only, have a word in the players ear) and rather than acknowledge he’d maybe gone a bit far he doubled down and was booking pretty much anyone for minor fouls. I’m not normally one for having a go at referees but it was so bad a performance from him it stood out a mile.

Maybe games like this is why my brother's mate (L1 ref) and his pals have been told to give fewer cards!

The ref against Everton did pretty well I thought.

[Gareth]

He certainly did with Onana….he didn’t wimp out to the crowd like Taylor did for Durans red.  Barely noticed him all game which is how it should be

He was good. Its a pity he was so inept when he ref'd our game at Forest.

[PaulWinch again]

The ref against Everton did pretty well I thought.

Yep I thought he was ok. I felt like he was letting a fair bit go when they built up a head of steam, but that’s probably more about my confirmation bias. I thought he did well.

I thought he was harsh in booking Onana early on and I half expected him to be over eager with them but after that he was pretty sensible, just a shame he felt the need to "lay down the law" early on and then let similar challenges go for the rest of the game.

[PaulWinch again]

Harsh on the Onana booking? Not sure about that it was a pretty ropey challenge on a player running away from him.
