Referees

[lampard10]

In the aftermath of a premiership season in which the men in black performed, shall we say a load of <deleted>, I was thinking about maybe having foreign refs all over Europe. Say the English refs officiate somewhere in Europe, and we get a selection of Europe's best for our matches. You can't tell me that each ref does not have his favorite Premiership team( why does my dam_n spell checker work in Yankish) what do you thimk?

Im sick of foreigners coming to England and taking jobs i want England to be England again not some multiculturism mess, the country is full we dont need anymore foreigners doing jobs we can do ourselves.

Weve the biggest professional league system in the world there are plenty of good refs to go round we should stay as we are.

Top ref's of all nationalities make mistakes. Would you want the ref/linesman from last night who missed the offside, i dont give a <deleted> what the refs association say he made a bad error and they are backing him up with some bizarre unheard of law. (even the Dutch players agree that he was offside)

The law is not unheard of. It's in the rule book. It's just the interpretation of it.
