Rules Referees & Impartiality: Can this be delivered on a consistent basis?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Anthony Taylor in charge of Wolves V Tottenham, the ref who won Arsenil 2 FA Cups then became no.1 official. He will be whistle-happy coz thats how corrupt refs like Taylor destroy any football being played. Still no complaints from the board of 2 ex-Arsenil members and a woman from the Cricket Board as comms officer. What a shambles!
The quality of referees is the lowest it's ever been. You can see why the championship said NO to VAR.Bit late for this decision:
Premier League: Brian Brobbey should have been sent off in Sunderland v Tottenham game - KMI panel
Sunderland's Brian Brobbey should have been sent off for two yellow-card offences against Tottenham, a Premier League panel has ruled.www.bbc.co.uk
Because our club is run by a bunch of feckless babies too afraid to rock the boat. That's a major reason why we keep getting screwed by the officials.
"KMI panel statistics show that Jones has been responsible for five of the 12 errors this season regarding second yellow cards not being shown. All of his mistakes should have resulted in red cards.Bit late for this decision:
Premier League: Brian Brobbey should have been sent off in Sunderland v Tottenham game - KMI panel
Sunderland's Brian Brobbey should have been sent off for two yellow-card offences against Tottenham, a Premier League panel has ruled.
The other cases listed to involve Jones are Malick Thiaw (Newcastle at Bournemouth), Ruben Dias (Manchester City at Nottingham Forest), Rodri (Manchester City at Tottenham) and Cole Palmer (Chelsea v Leeds United).
Jones has the joint-most errors on second bookings in the past two individual seasons, with three recorded in 2024-25 and two in 2023-24.
Of 42 cases regarded as mistakes across the three campaigns, Jones has made 10 of them."
So why is Jones still refereeing PL games? In any other business, he'd be fired for this level of performance.
So pissed off at this. I know that I'm biased, but have felt that the officials we have had this season have been beyond awful. Just seems like the whole football world is conspiring to get us sent down.Bit late for this decision:

In answer to the question, no, but neither should it be possible to be constantly on the end of what appears to be bias.
Yes that and we don't have anyone that can manage the ref on the pitch
Old but remember when they have this goal to Chelsea

The officials did not see the ball cross the line.
Therefore the decision is corrupt.

Clearly a goal.
This, of course, wasn't...
Even more infuriating was the lack of media attention about the incident.Bit late for this decision:

As I said at the time this type of action is considered extremely dangerous in Aussie Rules football ffs. If you push an opponent into another and they incur an injury it's an immediate ban. In the toughest sport in the world.
Here the chuckled about it a bit and moved on. Cunts
Whenever Romero approaches a ref, which he is entitled to as captain, he gets waved away.
And gets carded. Another disgrace

Nothing to see here but just VAR waving away a blatant pen for Everton
So against Sunderland, Brobbey should have been sent off (confirmed by KMI panel) in the same game where VAR overturned a penalty to us despite it not being anywhere near clear and obvious enough to do so.
Against Brighton we had the clearest penalty I have ever seen turned down after Udogie was pushed to the floor in the box.
We end up with 1 point from what likely would have ended up being 6 while West Ham get away with shit like that. It's no wonder why people question if refs are bent.

The two footed tackle today was a disgrace
Wonder when we will hear the ref got it wrong - again

Dermot "if Bissouma wasn't there then he would have won the ball"
Dermot Gallagher is quite possibly not only the most boring man involved in football today but he's also the most infuriating.
There is no additional level of insight he provides. The guy is stealing a living.
He just backs up his referee mates every week.
