Re: Waddle talks Burnley

Waddle was without doubt one of those great players that is destined to be a very poor manager. At least it only took him a season to realise it.

As for Ian Helliwell deriding anyone for anything to do with football is definitely throwing stones from a glass house.

So they considered it and got it wrong if they thought Berge fouled which he clearly didn’t. They make it up as they go along.

If they can’t assign new refs in a fair way then how on earth can we expect decisions to be done fairly. That is the main problem in a nutshell. Every premier league game should have the same chance of being refereed by a less experienced ref.

Every time we are in the prem the refs have to learn from a decision that cost us points. If only they could get them right for us.

It doesn’t matter what sport you watch but there is always a foul taste in your mouth when a game is likely decided by poor refereeing. There is no doubt that Fiji deserved to win that game and would most likely have done so if they had the numerical advantage based on the foul play of the opposition.
