Someone better tell him there’s no VAR at BP to pass the buck to. He’ll just have to do the best he can and carry the can.

Quoted from RichMariner
I know we've had some crap refs in League 2 but I feel there are far fewer threads on here complaining about the officials since we got out of the National League.


Last game I went to was Coventry - couple of terrible decisions from the linesman (and he got plenty of verbal as a result) but the ref seemed absolutely spot on.

VAR isn't used in the Premier League though?

I'd say that the referees are a bit better than the non-league days, but tend to let the big defenders push, pull and shove opposition strikers around with impunity. I'm thinking here of all the times Matt has practically had his shirt removed in the box, but nothing has even been said. They are also suckers for players hitting the deck under the slightest of pressure when outside the box - something which costs us as we don't dive in the same way (Davies aside).

Yeah agreed - the refs aren't perfect but are definitely an improvement on non-league
