....only a matter of time, surely.
Not sure whether it has been mentioned previously or not. Do you remember the first half when we should have had an advantage but he gave a foul, we took it quick about 4 yards further forward to the foul. It completely halted our play and gave them a chance to get back. What type of story advantage is that after being fouled? But the worse thing is, about 5 minutes later a pretty much carbon copy of the incident but for Boro and he didn't pull them back for taking the free-kick 5 yards away from where the incident occurred. So inconsistent. The worst type of refereeing. If you are going to make bad decisions, then at least be consistently bad ffs.

Why's anyone surprised by the piss-poor standard of officials these days?
Referees should be held to account now they're a professional body themselves. Only takes one bad decision to break a club, and the potential costs of £££millions that go with it.
Indeed, even local economies as a whole could be ruined by their say-so. They must be held to account in a transparent fashion.

I was fuming at that as well, as you say, both crap officiating and inconsistent to boot.

They're paid £100k a year for 90 minutes work per week, and yet they don't appear to be being schooled during the week, to try and eradicate some of the obvious inconsistencies and poor decisions that we see every match day.
I know and that is only one decision of many that came to mind. Just a really poor referee.

Then later on del was obstructed and he played advantage when del had been spearheading the charge and with him down they were all back in position
I thought the most telling thing in regard to the standard of the refereeing was the comments of Harold Webb, Glenn Hoddle and Steve McManaman, they all said it was a good goal. Until the media and the governing bodies of both football and referees have the courage to come out and say the referee was wrong there is no onus on them to improve. Webb had to admit he was wrong but justified himself by saying he needed to look at the replays to see that Negrado didn't head the ball.
He didn't mention the ref bringing Everton back when trying to take advantage of a quick free, didn't mention the Middlesbrough player putting his head into Barry's face after Barry was booked. MaManaman praised Williams for not going down when he suffered a high boot when clearing a ball. He said the Middlesbrough player had to go for the ball and seen nothing wrong with it.
I thought the refereeing was atrocious and the TV punditry was worse.
Referees need to be held to account, they take the rewards they need to accept the criticism. If the job is two difficult for them then find another job, if it is beyond the ability of one person then the authorities need to find a way of administering the rules fairly.

I've always wondered whether we could have a club suing the PGMO for incompetence.
The Bolton Everton 0-0 (first game at the Reebok) would be the perfect example, they had the ball clearly over the line and it wasn't given. We then stayed up over them on goal difference and they lost millions of pounds as a result

Did howard webb ever book a (then current) england international?
Serious question. I can only remember remember him being very lenient towards, and very protective of, england international players.
