Do you think referees are biased?
-
frankly, I do suspect that referees do have their own favorite clubs too..
sometimes, even in front of them, they can give inconsistent end-results.
and do you think smaller clubs suffer when playing against bigger clubs?
(For those who just want to broadcast their own clubs, please refrain from this topic, let's discuss broadly). -
Ya.....they are only human and they have their likes and dislikes and also the pressure of the crowd to deal with.
-
I believe referees supporting their favoured clubs may be true. I oso suspect they have a hidden agenda with the higher authorities also. Or even with unknown parties...

Coleman's bogeyman referee back at Cottage
Fulham's worst FA Cup nightmare has occurred with the appointment of referee Mark Halsey for Sunday's home tie with Tottenham — after manager Chris Coleman requested earlier this season the Lancashire official should never be given another game at Craven Cottage.
Coleman was seething back in September when a crucial decision by Halsey went against Fulham while the home game with Chelsea was goalless
Far more controversial was HalseyÂ’s performance back in September, 2004 when he gave Fulham a penalty, only to take it away again after being surrounded by Arsenal players demanding that he speak to his assistant.
He also ruled out a Collins John goal, all before half-time, in a game that Arsenal went on to win 3-0.
After the Chelsea match, Coleman said: "I will ask not to have Mark Halsey because there’s always a lot of controversy when he comes to the Cottage. I’ll ask — and we’ll probably have him in another six weeks’ time!"
In fact the FA have waited a little longer, 21 weeks before making such an insensitive appointment, especially in the light of Wigan manager Paul JewellÂ’s verbal attack on referee Phil Dowd for refusing a penalty at Arsenal that could have made it 2-0 for his side.
The suggestion then was the smaller club got a raw deal and Fulham will feel peeved as Tottenham, though not one of the Big Four, are still regarded as the bigger club.
Ironically, Coleman has just admitted to a misconduct charge against an official after the recent Premiership home game with Tottenham, when he was angry over an assistant not giving offside for a late Spurs equaliser.
Though the decision was later shown to be correct, Coleman still insisted the official was not in a position to make the call.
Earlier this season, Coleman could not have been more critical of Halsey who refused Fulham a penalty at 0-0 when Chelsea keeper Petr Cech appeared to grab Michael Brown's foot as they went for a 50-50 ball.
Coleman then said: "I asked Mark about it and he said he had to protect the keeper. I could not believe the decision."
Then Fulham claimed a Didier Drogba foul in the Chelsea penalty area was ignored.
Coleman added: "It’s not Chelsea’s fault — it’s Mark Halsey's fault. It's not the first time.
"When we played Arsenal he killed us. HeÂ’s a decent referee but heÂ’s not decent when he comes to us. I had to calm the lads down in the dressing-room as they werenÂ’t very happy."
Coleman cares passionately about what he sees as injustices and will feel particularly for his friend Jewell who now faces a misconduct charge himself.
Halsey will now be under intolerable pressure if any decision against Fulham is found to be incorrect. -

of course, if your opinions echo the posts. -
Harry Redknapp and Paul Jewell are in trouble over making comments about referees. Have the match officials got too much power? Is the FA giving them too much backing?
Sekali the referee's association is in the pocket of the illegal bookies. -

Its just human to be biased to one side, i dont think they should be pinalized.
Im sure if you were in their shoes, you would do the same thing. -
they are afraid of the bigger clubs.

Anyway, my point is that if you can point us to these sites, we can go there, no need to cut & paste. Easier for you.
No offence meant. -
I think some referees are beginning to stand up to abuses by lashing back like Poll in his match against chelsea and the latest in the Wigan and Arsenal game.
however, the tag of "untouchables" should be removed and Referees should also be judged if they made the wrong decision.
Imagine Poll giving one play 3 yellow and then 1 red, but he is still referee for many top games. That's a shame and a joke.
Video-replay should be brought in to justify and no longer are games to be judged by a few naked eyes when so much are at stake.
Imagine those struggling teams, where it can means survival or down the drain...
I think much rethink needs to be done... -
