The Ref

Lover of grassroots football but not the abuse given to officials. RESPECT Referees or there won’t be any left. And Arsenal

[The Ref @101Referee]

@grassrootsrefJa Agreed. Even McCoist saying ‘stopping a promising attack is nonsense. A) that’s a yellow and B) that’s not what that even means. Good chance that the goalie’s getting that ball. Yellow was easily the right decision

[The Ref @101Referee]

@TheRefereeForum @andrewcarleton7 Exactly this!

[The Ref @101Referee]

@nicola_ironside Doesn’t need to be contact. All football fans should know that

[The Ref @101Referee]

@danielstorey85 But not on the TV? Why do they assume that we can’t watch a short highlight reel without needing to baby feed people the result or a clue as to what happened? They really are dumbing us down. It’s not like there aren’t a zillion places to find the result elsewhere…

[The Ref @101Referee]

@grassrootsrefJa The level of knowledge with punditry these days is so poor. It’ll happen on all channels with list of the pundits. They’re so poorly researched and ill-informed

[The Ref @101Referee]

@SimonLester2468 ‘Joint winners’ twice 😂 - literally means they’re claiming trophies that they didn’t actually win…

[The Ref @101Referee]

@richardajkeys What the absolute bollox is this guy talking now?

[The Ref @101Referee]

@charlotteahenry @timstillman_ 🥱

[The Ref @101Referee]

@donhutch4 So it was a split decision. Therefore a fairly subjective situation.

[The Ref @101Referee]

@WestHamPlace Hahahahaha - oh you poor dear.. You’re just a bit distracted - I wonder why? 😂 Wrexham away ole ole

[The Ref @101Referee]

@grassrootsrefJa That’a different argument.

[The Ref @101Referee]

@tonysyoung @ArsenalRadar Because the players are off to the World Cup the next day…

[The Ref @101Referee]

@PlugThefootball Are you following legal completion rules? If so, can you please show them? Otherwise, how does everyone know that this isn’t a scam?

[The Ref @101Referee]

@nick_davison10 Cry. Me. A. River. Such a ❄️

[The Ref @101Referee]

@Ballard_mufc They’re not. They’re deliberately taking anything they can get their teeth into to create clickbait / rage bait and attention for themselves. It’s so so poor. It’s actually embarrassing

[The Ref @101Referee]

@TheRefereeForum @alanshearer 💯 agree. But every day the clickbait / rage bait referee hate gets worse when people don’t understand what they’re talking about. All for clicks and engagement

[The Ref @101Referee]

@alanshearer It’s not though, is it? You’re trying to stir up hate and referee abuse again without knowing the law. Alan, please do better

[The Ref @101Referee]

@WhistleBlowerDK ⬆️ exactly this. Well said

[The Ref @101Referee]

@AdamW_LFC @DaleJohnsonBBC He’s literally explaining law. Not his view on what the law should be, but why the goal was given. And because that’s too nuanced for you to get your head around, you start abusing him. Now that’s embarrassing
