You are refereeing a big local Derby - you have already missed a shocking challenge by the visiting striker on the opposing captain. You award a dubious penalty for a challenge on the very edge of the box and the visiting captain reminds you to send the defender off and the non-dismissed striker nets the equaliser. You follow this up by allowing the aforementioned (non-dismissed) striker to handle the ball in the build up to another offence in the penalty box. Injury time looms and the home side are attacking - there are 2 incidents - in the first the visiting defender poleaxes an opponent and in the final seconds of the game repeats this within 5 yards of your vision, whilst just to the right of you an attacker is similarly held back by an opponent. The question is - how do you get to remain on the Premier League list with a performance like this?
