Week Six of the Premie League season and we’re starting to see a recurring theme, renowned “divers” not getting penalties they actually deserve. That and dubious handballs that get everyone’s knickers in a twist. Not to mention dangerous tackles that seem to get the tribal juices of football flowing. Enjoy! Man Utd – Spurs Nani [...]
It’s Week 5 of the Premier League season and all of a sudden referees and teams have decided to go buck mad, with over 20 big debatable decisions for the team to discuss this week. Going through these was tough going and probably tired our judges out, which is why we failed to get a [...]
Round four of the Premier League season and Week Four for the Debatable Decisions panel sees the return of Simon Furnivall after a while out injured.

Episode Four of the podcast sees the return of @SFurnivall, who joins @callummaclean91 and @mkobylko to discuss all of the big refereeing calls in round four of the Premier League.

Week Three of the Premier League and i’m joined by @mkobylko, @callummaclean91 and guest judge @NFBblog to discuss the big debatable decisions in the Premier League.

Week Two and we’re back into the swing of things with another couple of debatable decisions that raised eyebrows around the footballing world. First up, happy birthday to resident judge Ant McQuillan who turned 31 this week and welcome to David Costelloe who joins us to fill the void left by Simon Furnivall after his [...]
A new season is upon us and with it comes a brand new appetite for giving off stink about referees and focussing on their shortcomings. Huzzah! We welcome a new judge to the fold, Callum Maclean, a Chelsea fan (let’s get that out of the way now), but we’re without one of our resident judges [...]
Founder and editor of Debatable Decisions, Simon McPolin (@Deb_Decisions), is joined by resident judges, Simon Furnivall (@SFurnivall) and Mike Kobylko to discuss the referees and how they performed in the 2011/12 season of the Premier League.
