the official line


COMMENTATORS and analysts should take a course on the laws of the game. Then they would not make so many mistakes. Of course the Sunderland goal shouldn't have been allowed. The beach ball should have been deemed an outside agent and any such item which interferes with play should result in a drop ball from where the interference takes place. That is law, and the baffling thing for me is that something so basic is not identified correctly by all the active officials.
They must have seen the ball deflect off the beach ball and fly into the net, so why was the goal alowed to stand?
It is interesting that the vast majority of countries around the world re-register their referees each year only after they have passed a physical test.
In England, referees are not tested on law. Maybe it is time that they were.

This is such a basic law. All referees start their careers on the local parks leagues and are advised that if a spectator, dog or any other outside agent interfers with play then it must be stopped and restarted with a drop ball.

Referee Jones could now face a suspension from his employers on the FA who have the right to charge him with failure to apply law satisfactorily.

Re: the official line


it was a great goal and if it was scored BY liverpool all the scousers would have been saying how it was a fair goal in there conversations down the dole q. referees are coc*ing up the laws of the game week in week out by allowing obstruction (holding off players allowing the ball to run out of play fora goalkick with no intention of kicking the ball is often allowed), and ignoring foul throws, and even allowin goals where the ball goes a meter wide of the post (ok this one is more blindness) so stop moaning and accept it was another brilliant piece of referreeing from the same refs who consistantly get it wrong

Re: the official line


Not moaning, just saying it's a basic law that the appointed officials should have got correct. The comments, other than mine are those of two retired referees.
As an Arsenal fan I'm certainly not moaning.
Incidently the referee has now admitted his error and will not be refereeing on the Premership, at least not this week.

Re: the official line


The punishment given to Sir Alex Ferguson is too weak, no deterrent against future comments ... and just what I expected. The FA have wilted so often in the face of celebrity, no one can be surprisedthat their hands were tied in this case.
This is not a cheap shot at Ferguson, but a heartfelt plea to the FAto sort out their wholly inadequate system for dealing with managers from someone who was routinely abused and regularly had his integity questioned. Look at the way Rafa Benitez triedto ridicule Phil Dowd by offering him his glasses as Liverpool lost at Spurs in their season opener. Two months later the FA warned Benitez as to his future conduct, since on the same day they had let Neil Warnock off after he had done exactly the same at aCrystal Palace match.
All too often referees tell fourth officials to '**** a deaf 'un' to criticisms of the manager within the technical area. Why? Because match officials know that the governing body can take months to deal with such incidents and in the meantime they cannot officiate that team. So how does Alan Wiley feel this morning after reading that the man who questioned his professionalism willserve a two-match touchline ban, but will be able to sit just behind the technical area and communicate with hiscoaching team throughout the 90 minutes?
He is not the first referee to have been let down by the FA and until they change their disciplinary procedures he certainly will not be the last.
