The penultimate weekend of the Premier League season and we have the usual array of red card and penalty incidents to discuss, most notably in the Liverpool – Chelsea game that Simon F covered in his recent ref review. Ant’s computer is still out of action so we welcome Michael Graham, who you might know [...]
I started drafting this blog at 8.30, I finished at 10.35. Two hours, 15 pages of Microsoft Word and almost 7,000 words tells you all you need to know about the performance of referees in the Premiership during weeks 32 and 33. Enjoy, while I take a well earned rest. Chelsea – Wigan Wigan Penalty [...]
We’re back with a bumper two week bang and distinguished collection of decisions to digest. Our time away hasn’t hampered Luis Suarez’s desire to make enemies and a decision in favour of Man Utd got tongues wagging and the usual clichés waving. Oh, and for the first time in a few weeks we have a [...]
For the second successive week we have very few decisions to discuss and in round 26 we only found two big incorrect decisions, no surprises that one of them involved Arsenal. Congratulations to the referees who took part in last week’s round of games, some excellent work and a couple of very good decisions from [...]
Week 25 sees us enjoy our quietest week yet with just eight Debatable Decisions over ten Premier League games. That’s not the only weird thing about the last round of games, Stoke weren’t involved in anything dodgy and Spurs were the only side in the big 6 that had a decision go for or against [...]
Week 22 hosted some of the most nasty incidents we’ve witnessed this season, however, for all the seriousness of fore arm slams and stamps there’s always someone willing to step forward and add a bit of comedy to proceedings and on this occasion it’s our regular offenders Gary Caldwell and Christophe Berra. Enjoy. Wolves – [...]
Week 21 and finally all of the teams have played the same amount of games, so we can get a better idea of who has benefited the most and who hasn’t…..what am I saying, it’s clearly going to be Stoke and Arsenal, right? Yup. More decisions for and against both, as well as a surge [...]
Debatable Decisions is finally up to date, after a Christmas and New Years schedule that had our judges tearing their hair out we’re back to weekly decisions and plenty of them. In round twenty Arsenal made a return to the bottom of the table and as if we didn’t need any better reminder that normal [...]
Week 19 of the Premier League season produced a series of debatable results, but not as many Debatable Decisions as we have come to expect, not that it made a difference. The fixture congestion mixed with procrastination and the holiday season has seen us lag behind, but we’re slowly catching up. Enjoy. Man Utd – [...]
The Boxing Day fixtures provided us with a number of talking points to discuss, most notably whether some of the referes where still suffering from festive hangovers given some of the dodgy officiating. A penalty for kicking thin air, a red card for touching someone’s face, it’s all here and rectified in Debatable Decisions Week [...]
