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. Danny Welbeck’s dive doesn’t exactly get our judge’s pulses racing, it was far too obvious, but Callum popped up to add some unexpected shock by [...]

Week 34, or at least part of it, and normal order is resumed after a pretty hectic Week 32 and 33.

Debatable Decisions is branching out and we’re trying to include more in depth analysis of individual referee performances and in our first attempt @Jake_Harrison92 gives his take on a shakey performance from Kevin Friend in the Premier League game between QPR and Everton played at Loftus Road. Kevin Friend endured a pretty torrid time as [...]
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 [...]

Enjoy. Wolves – [...]
