Referees

monty · February 22, 2007

Listening to Kevin ratcfile during last nights embarrassment against Spurs he came out with an amazing admission that went like this:

When he was manager at Chester he put very poor match reports into the FA concerning Uriah Rennie, 3 or 4 out of 10 type scores. Rennie continued to be a league referee despite Ratclifes concerns. The topic of Rennie's poor refereeing came up with six other managers in the same division so they hatched a plan to get shut of Rennie. It seemed that all had sent poor returns in about this Prem ref and no one took any notice so they decided that the best way to shut of him from their division was to give him top marks, it worked within one season he was promoted to the bigger boys.

This actually proves what a bunch of pricks the FA are, like most people in authority thet just play lip service to their own rules. Has this also happened with Dowd, Poll and Styles................what do you think? :dodgy:

:toilet:

That was one hell of an admission to come out with, in fact so much so that i wouldn't be surprised if it got more media attention, as for the other refs you mentioned, we'll never know.

Wow can you believe that. Working the system like that. I felt all along there has been collusion and back room dealings to promote certain agendas. But I am quite surprised about this. My thing right now is about the linesman or assistants whatever there are called now. I would say they miss most off -sides in respect to the defense over the offense. I always thought when in doubt the offense should claim the advantage. Doesn't seem so any more.

I agree totally on your assessment. Not much can be done about it though is there?

The FA has its rules and it assessments system, if they fail to implement one and then ignore the clubs assessments it is the FA that has to change. I am shocked that no one else picked up on that, I mentioned it in my commentary because my jaw dropped when he said it.

Sad to see this bollocks being spread about.

I am because I am. One day I will be the best in the premeirship and be a World Cup invitee. I am the finest in the land and proud of it.

Sour grapes is all it is with Kevin Ratcliff. Monty you just need to get to know me better. I like HP sauce too. I'm just one of the lads after the game. Not so much different than you think. So I won't be On Spot the Luney anytime soon. Actually I run with a few blues myself.

See you soon. Shabba (y)
