Speaking of refs, has anyone realised that the authorities now given the green light for all players to dive and deliberately con refs. I say that, because Martin Olsson apparently admitted he would take a dive if he got the chance because Mike Dean has given more pens than any other PL ref….yet the Premier League and/or FA have done nothing, when they should have given him a 5 game ban for bringing the game into disrepute.
I think he just admitted that he dove.
He shouldn’t get banned. If the ref is thick enough to fall for it, then it is his fault. He isn’t being paid to miss things.The way I heard it was that it was pre-meditated in that he went into the game with the intention to take a dive and see if he got a decision because of the way Dean refs his games. Yes players have admitted they’ve taken a dive and its been missed, but to admit you planned for it and get away without punishment is disgraceful.

In that case he still shouldn’t get banned… It’s still the refs fault for not seeing it, in my eyes.

In full agreement with you. I cant think of another referee who would have the bottle to book 5 Liverpool players including lord Torres and King Gerrard in a game against us.

He also sent boycie off at St James’ Park a couple of seasons back for one of the best timed challenges ever seen on a football pitch.!! :roll:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!They all make mistakes jrfatfan, a youngish referee with the benefit of a further 2 years experience. I find it hard to name referees who are not always giving major decisions to the big clubs, he’s the only one that stands out to me this season, as I said somebody who books 5 liverpool players including one that gets away with assaults has some bottle. I’m more interested in a rare good performance from a ref this seasson rather than a bad one 2 seasons ago. If you can think of a better/ fairer refs performance this season please give us it.
