Referee Performance

Sun Jul 31, 2022 9:18 am

Watching that game yesterday & thinking about the dreadful referee performance , I probably went over the top, some of the decisions he was making were unbelievable, and the period from the melee to the point where NG got sent off really incensed me, to the point I wanted to get on the pitch myself and tell the ref what I thought, people sitting by me probably thought I’d lost my mind, and to be fair on reflection I did, I sometimes get way to involved and passionate about Cardiff City but I need to rein it in, but something does need to be done about the poor standard of referees we get down the stadium, it’s the same every season, it can’t be a coincidence, really gets to me, they seem to answer to no one. I thought Cardiffs performance showed one of immense promise, and I think with a better forward line, we could have a very good season, I enjoyed the game yesterday, despite the referee.

He was awful, but it was difficult for him with Norwich players cheating, diving, falling over and in his face all the time. Reminded me of Bournemouth last season.

However, none of his decisions were anywhere near as bad as the one for Hull’s penalty and until the FA / EFL etc start getting tough on diving, faking & cheating then the rewards outweigh the punishments and it’ll continue and get worse.
