English Refs [Football] what you think.

[Clowgon]

I think they are bloody hopeless. They give bad decisions and get things wrong, they make the players walk all over them. In Europe the refs are really good, they know what they are doing and the players show them respect. I personally think the FA needs to invest in the refs in the English game because they are really bad.

Ashley Coles tackle was far worse than Martin Taylors?


Yes it was Cole came in at full pace, studs much higher than Taylor.
Then he dissed the ref. He should've been red carded.


Are refs just to soft on players?

i can remember Roy Keane in his playing days at manu. He took nothing from the refs he sure did make them nervous a bit.


This vid is quite cruel about him thou.

Me noob? Wow some United fan you are..

Man U is not a term United fans refer to themselves as. The term is only used by other supporters as a complete and utter insult to our club. The "u" is meant to be "you" by the rival fans.

An early example of its usage is this chant by West Brom fans: "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, man you are manure- rotting in your grave". The origin of "Man u" is a song to insult the dead Duncan Edwards.

Liverpool and Leeds fans copied this with their own man you /u versions to insult all of the lads who died at munich.

"Man U Man U went on a plane Man U Man U never came back again"

and..

"Man U Never Intended Coming Home" (if you combine the first letter of each word you get the word "munich").

I hope this makes it clearer that saying man u is an insult, particularly to the older supporters and to see United fans using it now is shameful. I hope a few might read this, understand and spread the word.

So... Please REFRAIN from using this term ever again!!!!!!!!

Of course you wouldn't know that because you are not a proper fan.

You obviously don't give a **** because you are a glory supporter that insults his own club. That's all you can say though because a non-United supporter is more of a fan than you are. You can call me a noob all you want but it wont prove me wrong.

Don't worry I doubt he will visit Old Trafford in his lifetime. :)

@PaulMacC - Yeah of course :)

[Nereo]

English refs are probaly worst in europe. In the top flight game anyway i.i spain, italy, holland, england and all tht

[Geraint]

Referess do the best they can. Do you know how hard it is to get every decision right from pitch level in front of thousands of fans. No-one is perfect.

[IRBlueMoon]

The man u players show no respect to refs.

Oh will you just shut the **** up. I really dont give a toss what you have to say because your nothing to me. You call me a glory supporter? i have been supporting United all my life infact my whole famaily is a united fan expect my other brother who is a Aston Villa fan. When arsenal won the Prem in 2003 and 4 i think, i still was a united fan. So why dont you hope along to a little dark corner and shut you trap because you really are starting to do my ******* heading now. Jesus Christ.

[Muniflex]

The job of being a refreee is very hard.

They can't see everything that goes on all the time.

They could be better but they are not worse than European refs.

[Andeeh]
