After having time to digest the performance of all 3 officials for our game last week I have come to the conclusion that standards of fitness and awareness to the Laws of the game are dropping. The man in middle showed little signs of moving out of the centre circle whilst looking over weight. His decision making was largely based on which side shouted the loudest. The first goal conceded by us was from a corner which should have been a goal kick, The ball clearly rebounded off their player. The second goal was so blatantly offside it was unbelievable !! Even the assistant who was in line failed to see it. Shocking.
The other assistant was more busy in keeping players on the field of play while having a drink, making sure only two were standing in the technical area.
I know its a favorite pastime on here to slate the officials but its more done out of frustration than intent. I have had a week to calm down but still furious. I know what its like because I have been a referee and an assistant and mistakes are made, I know that to my detriment. So please officials lets get the main decisions right and worry about the silly laws at some point. Make your own decisions and don't be swayed by noisy, bullying tactics from players and most of all get fitter.
