British-Asian Ref tonight

Just for all the racists tonight I'd thought I'd add some context.

British Asian is a term created by white politicians in Whitehall for the purpose of putting people into a wide pot.
It includes lots of different nationalities, but it's lazy and keeps the data down.
I don't want to be collated into a group who are 2nd / 3rd /4th generation Iranians, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankan's, Afghans and Pakistani's among others.
Sikh's don't really like the term.
To mess up the census, I fill in British, because I am.

I did want the ref to do well, as it shows Asian kids, teens, and more importantly parents that there's other careers apart from a corner shop or going to Uni and becoming a Doctor or Accountant.
Society, and jobs and roles should be representative of the demographic.
Most of the top jobs are held by white men, its just a fact of life. For years they have been trying to add women to the boards of top companies, whether they were the best person for the job or not. Women are now getting there on merit, as they are just as capable intellectually.
I'm not really down with every game on TV having at least 1 female commentator and pundit. If it was women's footy then I'd understand, but these female pundits have not played the men's game which is at a much higher elite level and physically different.

Anyway FTM and Sunderland Till I DIe
 

Sorry but the ref cannot see how Ballard goes down from where he is all he can see is the back of Choudhury. Thought he had a decent game up until that point but he’s got that one badly wrong.
I could see it from 100 yards directly behind the ref. He bottled it.
 
Still not normal to go down like that and everyone only noticed that with the slow motion replay from the perfect angle
I noticed it live sat in the NE Corner mate. I’m not anti-referee, but that’s a shit decision

I could see it. And did he fuck have a good game. O’Nien yellow was a joke. Not booking Mavididi and the best bit adding on Four minutes for Injuries and 8 subs

Shame he doesn’t have 2 assistants and a fourth official to help too - one of which had the perfect view of their lad kicking Ballard in the calf
 
Surely it is the 4th official who has the most control over alloted injury time. However, personally thought the ref was poor. He missed the foul on Hume by Faes on Hume for the goal (both hands on Hume's shoulders to push him up and stop Hume jumping), two missed pens and various soft fouls against Leicester players in very important positions.
 
Great to see!
And reffing in the premier league this weekend I believe.

Hopefully a trailblazer who can open doors for many young Asian, British-Asian and other minority ethnic budding officials. 😊 👍 👏
Is it not great to see any other person become an official? No one at the match well certainly around me even mentioned it yet you need to make a thread about it.

How are Asians a minority. There’s upwards of 3 billion of them. Maybe they don’t referee matches because they couldn’t be bothered. If they were to get bothered the market would be flooded with Asians referees.
 
I wonder if there is a readytogo forum in Asia with a thread celebrating that someone from Marley Potts has just reffed a game in the Bangladesh Football Premier League 🤔
 
Fuck me. I know yanks are stupid at times
Care to elaborate?
If you mean I’m stupid because of my population estimate you’re right. I was off by about 50%.
Asians make up 60% of the worlds population.
I’m saying they’re not underrepresented, I’m saying that they don’t care to be PL referees. If they were interested the market would be flooded.
