Man Utd 1-0 Wolves: Verdict Thread

[MARKakaJIM]

Just don't see why a ref should need to learn people's names, you want them to be impartial so the less they know about anyone to influence their opinion the better in my mind. Judge the events not the parties involved.

They're in a discussion with the ref who is on the field. Them being able to explain who the player(s) involved concisely and accurately rather than the "Wolves player" ensures there is as little possible confusion as possible.

What if they didn't know who Dawson and Sasa was? How do they explain the incident properly?

I agree with this. It should be numbers only to keep it impartial.

Works in rugby.

Numbers

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Always used to wind me up when refs called high profile players by their first name. Typically while they were mouthing off or refusing to come over when summoned.

It's not "Ashley" or "Ash", it's "Blue, three".

 

[Sniffer]

Was it - Franks not that kind of player after he went studs up into our players knee?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yes and then he scored the winner in the last minute.

Numbers

If they can see them, and they didn't do that in this instance.

But yeah, if they are being consistent, numbers for every player, or names for every player. Not just a mixture because they haven't done their research.

This comment from commentators always used to be baffle me, he demonstrably proved he is that kind of player because he's just done it!

He might not do it much, but he definitely did that thing I just saw him do!

On Adam Hammill(?) Horrific tackle.

 

[Tony Towner]

Fabregas also wasn't that type of player

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Yes and then he scored the winner in the last minute.

It's OK though, just like Howard Webb, he said sorry

Lampard: I said sorry right away for Hammill tackle... it was late

Frank Lampard admitted he was fortunate to still be on the pitch after coming to Chelsea's rescue at Molineux. Lampard escaped with a yellow card for a sliding tackle on Wolves winger Adam Hammill.

Scandal of a tackle that on Wardy. Matt Carbon levels.

I think the ref said it.

Watching the rest of the program the officials calling each other by their nicknames in other games wound me up.

Believe it’s again on TNT sports tonight if anyone wants to watch it.

It does feel like they don't take it seriously and it's a boys club.

Wolves No. X would suffice, would it not?

 

[Lycan]

Seems straight forward to me that officials should know as much as they possibly can about the players they're refereeing. Past infringements, history between certain players or teams, history between teams and officials etc etc. It'd even strike me as being helpful for them to have a basic understanding of any tactical systems they suspect the 2 teams might use in the game.

I hope they're not just turning up and refereeing the game in front of them. They should be putting as much preparation into their fixtures as the teams themselves or a pundit might do.

Referring to players as 'the Wolves striker' or even 'Gold #18' during the course of a match might be a good way of keeping impartiality but actually not knowing the names of the players in the Premier League match you've been tasked with officiating seems like a stunning lack of professionalism to me.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Wolves No. X would suffice, would it not?

Yeah, but they didn't even do that.

I just think it shows their unprofessionalism, that and the nicknames thing.

They want respect, and to be taken seriously, but they really don't help themselves with how they conduct themselves.

Whether it’s proof of bias or not, it’s indicative of a lack of solid institutional principles which is exactly how you end up with this sort of inconsistency.
