Fatty Dowd Takes The Biscuit Barrel!

Well I've seen some pretty crap refereeing over the years but it seems to be getting worse! How the hell Fellani stayed on the pitch against Newcastle at the weekend is beyond me; and why Nolan wasn't awarded a penalty in that game, after being kicked up in the air from behind in the box, will remain forever a mystery. Those were the crimes of the Ancient Mariner!

But never one to be outdone, Fatty Dowd came to the party tonight and didn't just take the biscuit, he consumed the whole bloody biscuit barrel. How exactly did Taylor stay on the pitch after taking Kakuta out at the hip and sending him cartwheeling through the air? Dangerous play? The bloody Taliban are pussy cats in comparison with that tackle! But Dowd simply pulled out the custard cream instead of the Jammie Dodger. Still, after scoring a powerdriver of a freekick, Taylor then gave Dowd another chance to show red with a cynical trip. Surely two custard creams would amount to a Jammie Dodger? But no, Dowd gave the free kick and left Taylor on the pitch.

Mind you, unlike the Ancient Mariner, Dowd wasn't biased in favour of one side. God and Big Phil Dowd alone know how he gave that penalty to Alex! Absurd!

Something has to be done about rank refereeing like this. Of course referees make mistake - it is a hard job - but Mariner and Dowd took incompetence to a new level this week. An enforced rest would be in order for both.

    I didn't see the second Taylor challenge but I thought the Kakuta one was a yellow. There were no studs or anything, just they were both going at speed.

    The ref's decision for the Nolan incident in the league was a joke though. There was a foot of daylight between the Everton player and the ball.

    Dowd is one of the better referees to be honest HF.

    The guy that gets on my tits is Clattenberg. He used to be tubby and balding. Ever since he got that hair replacement, he's thinned down, always has a tan and acts as if he's everyone's best friend.

    Remember my article about referees in England killing the beautiful game? They are the reason we today have "successful" managers such as Allardyce, Coyle, McLeish and a few others. Crime pays with English referees. Maybe you should repost it.

    Parker's been our best player so far don't you think HF?

    Yes I do, by some considerable distance. Let's hope he stays fit, keeps scoring, avoids suspension and leads us to victories in the Prem!

    Gotta say the reffing has been effing poor again this season. Watching the manure v Liverpool game and throwin given by linesman. What does the ref do? Overturn it. Why facking have assistant refs if you don't take their opinion? And why do they always have to pull the two guys having handbags over for a chat just to tell em to knock it off. You waste 30 secs of the game doing something you can do from 20yds away with one toot on the whistle. Stop interferring and thinking the paying public want to see you in the middle of the action. YOU'RE ALL UNIMPORTANT, so let the game flow FFS!
