Craig Pawson

[neil999]

We have a match thread for this. Absolutely love starting a new thread, you.

At least it isn't in CAPS ANYMORE

….it does annoy that they all appeal when the ball goes out of play even when it’s blatantly obvious they got the last touch. Little things like this could easily be stamped out.

I watched out local non-league team at the weekend. A sub running the line for the ref, as is usual at that level. At one point his own defenders were appealing for offside as they tore after a striker on the wing. It was a close call and the lino could have easily put the flag up, but their own sub kept his flag down and yelled clearly "no he was definitely on."

Brought a tear to my eye to see such honest sportsmanship - I thought it had died. I noticed the ref give a thumbs up to the linesman, after the passage of play petered out into a goal kick. Those things were part of what made the game so enjoyable. That and the ref carding every player that showed dissent.

I used to coach my kids teams that there was absolutely no point in winning a game where you cheat, and would sub off anyone I caught doing it. It wastes everybody's time and effort.

Craig Pawson is the ref on Sunday. Another incompetent character.

* Everton FC v Tottenham Hotspur Live on Sky Sports
* Referee: Pawson, Craig
* Assistant Referee: Betts, Lee
* Assistant Referee: Wilkes, Matthew
* Fourth Official: Harrington, Tony
* Video Assistant Referee: Attwell, Stuart
* Additional Video Assistant Referee: Hatzidakis, Constantine

He always has us over, especially in Derby’s. Then there’s not many refs who give us a fair game

Can’t stand him, arrogant and has a smirk on his face when anyone questions a decision.
Was it Konate at Anfield he let stay on the pitch, there was another decision went against us in a different game when he was VAR as well. That’s just off the top of my head.
Awful ref.

Assistant referees surname is of concern

We had a pen in our last home game
Doubt we will be awarded another this decade.

Probably

Pawson is probably the worst we could get at the moment.

At any moment. Most are poor, but he is the weakest of all.

Wonderful. Thanks mate

Are there any referees left that anyone thinks 'he does a decent job?'

To a man they all seem incompetent nowadays, with agendas to boot.

VAR gives them a hiding booth, And the onfield ref the freedom to say the decision has come from above.

Rarely do you see a ref stick to their decision, unless its the incidents that VAR leave to them.

Refs stick together like some sort of union, just look at Dermot Gallagher, never criticises the decions.

Its been made easier for them to mess up and Apologies after games are meaningless..

Tony Harrington [Poor language removed] hates us too.

….we’re due a pen.

Refs have become too powerful, they should never lead the teams into the pitch. Football is about footballers, the officials should follow the players onto the pitch.

At the non-league games I watch the ref and Linos always come out last. They inevitably have a stinker in the first half and get dogs abuse from the players and crowd, so they’re about 5 mins behind the players for the 2 nd half . “ Right Lino’s, go and give those nets a tug in case they’ve been tampered with, take your time, let’s keep em all waiting”
