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

[MaximusEvertonius]

I feel I’m in the minority but I thought the ref called a clean game, was consistent, and the yellow to Moyes and the two reds were obvious, necessary, and the right decisions. Our being pissed is misplaced. Our losing ways make us feel like victims always getting calls against us. We earned all these with ease.

How was the red card for Keane necessary?

How on earth is a brief accidental grab of hair while jumping for a header, a clear red card ?

And the stamp on Armstrong's calf ?

The Keane red card is the worst decision I've ever seen and nothing will convince me otherwise.

Hair pull while challenging for the ball in the air is violent conduct

The game is dead

A pull on a shirt is super common. Yanking the hair? It’s way different. It’s not violent. But the rules are rules. Keane thought he got away with it.

Yanking hair?

It was a complete accident and with next to no force

I dont think Keane even realised he had done it, never mind thought he got away with it.

It raises questions about Chris kavanagh missed this but was able to spot the hair pull. Like he was studying one side for errors.

Kavanagh is bent, no one will convince me otherwise

Var must be the biggest driver away from football. Whenever anything like this happens it just feels like a waste of time.

You wouldn't get sent off for yanking an arm would you? I'm way too uninterested in football has a whole these days to give any emotion to it, but this decision and some of the decision Fulham have had against them, are embarrassing for the sport

Who remembers that great tactical foul the Italian defender made on the England play in the Euro(?) final at Wembley? He got a yellow for that, which was right. This was less worse than that

Thank all the fictional gods that I took an interest in another sport.

Im genuinely paying money to watch this every week. Between the plums im now sat with and the refereeing, im so close to giving up my season ticket.

You yank body parts all game though?

Exactly, Ref could only act on what was presented to him and had set out his stall early for ill discipline so grealish really should have known better. But ignoring the Armstrong tackle and even spotting the hair pull is Kavanagh hanging a young ref that had done well.

I’m jealous… I’ve been trying to stop watching football, but my dad did too good a job indoctrinating me into this club…
