jellydog Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Derby day would be perrrrrfect!! Actually, I'm awaiting the daughters passport to come back from renewal. There is a chance I will be in Chaiyaphum on derby day and was wondering about where to watch it. My place not far maybe 1 hour away and Mr red can come too Be afraid MrBOJ !

uptheos Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Why should refs be interviewd or answerable for their decisions? I don't see managers being held accountable to the fans, when they play a weak team and go out of a competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see managers being held accountable to the fans, when they play a weak team and go out of a competition. Managers are held accountable to all sorts of people.. shareholders, CEOs, football associations... and even if they skip a few, they do have to give certain interviews and hold press conferences... as SAF is doing right this minute. And ultimately if they make enough bad decisions, they'll get sacked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not get the sack instantly for fielding a one-off weakened team but a run of poor performances will put them on a sticky wicket. Additionally, the club can get fined from the FA for intentionally fielding a weakened team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Refs are often interviewed in Argentina. After matches and on football shows during the week. It is refreshing, and about the only positive thing I can think to say about how football in Argentina is handled. Not all refs agree to be interviewed however, and certainly it is not mandatory. Up to the ref. Some never interview at all, and others are gabby f_ckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayroo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Of course nothing justifies death threats against refs. That's totally stupid. But what does make the situation worse, is the way that after decisions like this, we never hear the ref explaining / justifying his decision, and we certainly never hear, refs holding up their hands and admitting that whilst they thought it was the correct decision at the time, in hindsight they now accept the decision was wrong. For some reason there seems to be a feeling that for a ref to come out and admit having made a mistake, it would be in some way undermining their position and their decision. I don't think it would. Refs are only human and of course they will make mistakes at times. Everyone knows that and everyone accepts that. It's part of the game. Refs remaining silent appears like some sort of effort to deny this, to sweep under the rug what we all know. If refs were held in some way accountable after games - not by being punished, but simply being made to explain their decisions and give their side of things, and even apologise if they feel it's appropriate - i think it would go an awful long way to calming situations. It wasn't a mistake so get the ef over it, even Roy Keane said it was a RED!! sheesh!! How convenient. Out of the dozens of people within football questioned on the incident over the last few days, you chose to name one of the very few who said it was a red. The vast majority said that it wasn't. The vast majority said it was at most a yellow. Why not quote all of those people? Ronaldo and Mourinho obviously thought it was a bad decision too judging by comments and body language. Why is it so difficult for you to accept that the ref made a mistake and that mistake gave "your" team a big advantage at a time when you were losing? Why is that such a difficult concession for you to make? Is your head really that deeply buried? Or are you that lacking in any sort of sporting grace? For goodness sake... Why is it so difficult for you to accept it was a red card and united lost because of their lack of professionalism? The ref didn't award Madrid 2 automatic goals did he? stop blaming the ref and start to think what fergie and united should've done better.

JacknDanny Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 in fact the decission was so bad in my opinion - either that ref should not involved in a game at that level or he should be investigated for possible match fixing - it was shocking and very suspect This says it all for me!!!

You accused members of reporting you, and can't hold your hands up and admit you were wrong on that. You told everyone that Real Madrid were going to rip United apart, and you can't hold your hands up and admit you got that completely wrong. You joked about someone else not knowing what colour strips the teams were playing in, when it turned out you didn't actually know yourself, and all you did was accuse me of being pedantic for pointing it out. Stupid of me to expect any sort of honesty from you on any matter regarding any of this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does being a stubborn, one eyed, biased grump come with being a united fan? Yes exactly I joked! at a member not watching the same game, it had nothing to do with him not knowing the colour of the kits, btw they were wearing a dark kit closer to being black than green, so yeah you were being pedantic for having to say it had a green hue in it, I bet you didn't even know that until you started googling little insignificant things to throw out since you lost your arguement about the red card and utd's whole overall play. By the way, Ronaldo did rip united's defense apart, he scored the winning goal. Better luck next year. Edited March 9, 2013 by Jayroo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
