[QUOTE="Sir Bronking, post: 177628, member: 197546"] today's football, are referee's better or worse than times gone by is there no consistancy in the game is it an impossible task because of the rules imposed on them by the F.A. or are simply trying to make themselves into some sort of celebrity via notoriaty? do some referees favour certain teams and hinder others i for one think that there is no consistency, for instance the game on sat chelsea v city the [B][U]terribly obscene[/U][/B] referee was wrong in not spotting drogba's blatent use of the arm, and wrong for dimissing distin (they say they don't want several player's moaning at the ref at once and if there's a grivance, it should be the captain that ask's the questions, (when he does in a civil manor he get's booked and sent off just because he didn't hand the ball back straight away, is that not a bit petty or an act of a man who knew he was wrong in the first count, so as he had no defence he... (i seem to remember styles was the ref that sent barton off v spur's a while back), yet you can have player's like drogba, van nistleroy doing a klinsman every game and nothing, you can have rooney and other's feffing and blinding....maybe we should have sinbin's for swearing, post video edvidence for charges of blatent cheating/diving. in drogba's interveiw he basically said he dived and it is part and parcel of the game. (is that right) don't get me wrong i'm not upset just on city's behalf (well i am abit:( ) i just feel were not all playing on a level playing field a times [I][U][B]what do you think?[/B][/U][/I] :eek: [/QUOTE]
