Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

[DOMNOLAN]

West Ham’s penalty was no different to the one we should have had…

 

[CrabbyPaddy]

West Ham’s pen was less of a penalty than ours vs Brighton.

Absolute crooks the lot of them. Convinced they don’t even have VAR on half the time on certain games, as the amount of mad decisions that get waved off/barely checked is staggering.

Key Match Incidents Panel: Everton wrongly denied penalty in Arsenal defeat

Everton should have been awarded a penalty in their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has said.

Yeah we know.

What good is an admission after the fact? When is there going to be proper accountability?

They were quick enough to dock points. Moyes needs to keep on about it such that they are sick of hearing from him.

We get one or two of these admissions each year

Warm words and all that. Usual corrupt nonsense.

 

[NathDogg]

Thanks for the admission of corruption, can’t wait for the next one, cos naff all is gonna change with these bent fackers running the operation.

Best league on the world an all that sheeeeeiiiittttteeeee.

Luckily things even out, as we are always told.

As evidenced by then having another bad decision against us in the very next game.

 

[Look to the future]

It means nothing. Just confirmation of an incorrect decision.

 

[Blue83]

There's no punishment for PGMOL/FA for this match fixing so these panels are pointless, maybe if they got fined things would be different

Didn't see the whole game. Gather the ref could have booked a few but chose not to.
I've no problem with allowing a bit of feisty tackling.

Yeah we know.

Each KMI Panel is made up of five members. Three are former players or coaches, plus there is one representative each from the Premier League and Professional Game Match Officials.

Vote was 3-2 for both giving a pen and for VAR to have sent the ref to the monitor…..
Wonder who the two were against were representing …….

 

[RomanReigns]

So what minute is the ref giving us a pen against Brentford then?

You assume he allowed it for both teams without giving FK’s…. We seemed to get pulled up for sneezing, Gibbs White could have been booked about 7 times without so much as a talking to.
