Another official demoted
The linesman from Stamford Bridge on Sunday has been demoted - So when's it going to happen that a game with one of the teams outside the top 4 see an official demoted after a howler like this?
Do the FA not realise how biased they look by only ever acting when it's Liverpool or Chelsea?

they'd have demoted so many by now we'd be left with me and you running the line blurredblurred wrote:Right decision - when an official gets something as horrificly wrong as this, they should be demoted.

agree with the sentiment but its the fact its only when it happens on Skys 'Super mega smashing great' Sunday and to a 'top' team that f*cks me off
see styles still gets games, week in, week out
and fans of watford will be pleased to see the leagues latest recruit earning a premier league bonus for officiating top flight matches (not that such thing exists of course?)

For all we know, that could of cost us 2 points, and who knows... We might need 2 points to stay up at end of season maybe, or getting into Europe (if we carry on the way were going)
Sorry, but they need so sort all the referees out before even thinking of demoting any linesmen.

That's because the Red Scum and the Red Scum profited from these incorrect decisions. If one of the big 4 don't complain about a bad decision then that goal or penalty incident is forgotten.eddybwfc wrote:But Rob Styles has not been demoted for Ronaldo Penalty against us, and Cahills' Goal ruled outfatshaft wrote:The linesman from Stamford Bridge on Sunday has been demoted - So when's it going to happen that a game with one of the teams outside the top 4 see an official demoted after a howler like this?

What commie said. The decision here was the wrong one, but that was only obvious once the replays showed that one of the Chelsea defenders (Bosingwa?) had got back and had van Persie in an onside position a split second after Denilson played the ball. And, when that happens and the linesman has the slightest doubt and no use of freeze frames and 250 camera angles, the benefit should go to the attacker.
Sky makes their viewers super-human, and infinitely better referees, coaches and players than anyone actually involved in the match they're watching.

My issue is with the FA here, they are being totally inconsistent. I think we all more or less agree that however bad refs are, they are generally making honest mistakes.
The FA meanhwile can sit forever and ponder these decisions, so having that time to make fair and consistent decisions, what do they do? They consistently take action when it involves one of the big four, but come out with comments such as "we can't demote refs (or linesmen) every time they make a mistake" when dealing with the Old Trafford penalty, or the goal that never was at Watford.
Then you get red cards, Terry's ridiculous appeal up[held when clearly he was deserving o at least a yellow, meanwhile Boro appeal (and there was another last season, I forget who) a terrible red card, and get it upgraded for being frivilous.
The FA are showing anything but an even hand in the last 2 years as far as dealing with appeals, refs & linesmen go, and even the most biased of fan can see that I would hope.
