What do you want the authorities to do about it? I assume they have a scoring system and we are being allocated the refs deemed 3rd best?
The best thing if it all is that the players are not giving up and letting it get to them, like it did at times last season
we still have a recognition by the official ref association that they robbed safc of four points. Who knows those blind eyes maybe in our favour during the run in

It wasnt a penalty, the ref got it spot on.
I sit in line with where it happened in the West Stand. Their player clearly got the ball and from the side rather than behind.
Most other decisions were absolutely baffling for both teams though. I think, in fairness, the game should have been stopped because of the head injuries.

Week in week out the standard is horrific.
the best ref of the season so far was at oxford last week imo. never noticed him and let a few things go for both sides in the conditions. iirc there was only one booking (for them) and it was one that he couldn't really not give.

I wouldn’t expect you to see it any other way.
The fact that you refuse to criticise that ref’s performance today says it all really. What happens is it dilutes your credibility when you come to the defence of referees that deserve your support.

so he was happy whilst the ref gave them everything
I’ve asked that in the match thread. We need a Bristolian view. Presumably bamboozled, confused,

He's saying league 1 refs are worse than refs in higher leagues. Is he wrong?
No. 1 is Gary Rowell
Striker
So how come the ball carried on moving in the same direction that O'Nien had kicked it?

I know you like to defend the refs as to be fair and understanding to them. However todays performance by the ref was atrocious. yet you have to be right as he had a poor game and got many things wrong.
As a professional though, he has another 2 perhaps 3 pairs of eyes and he should not of got things so wrong

Shouldn’t have had a red?!?
Are you having a laugh?
Fair enough McGuire blocked him off, but he lashed out and viscously kicked McGuire.

Statistically though shouldnt they still be whats considered the countries top 50 refs? Frightening if so.

I'm glad the ref got under Garmer's skin after his press comments during the week. I nearly wet myself laughing when he got booked

Do something. In any line of work there has to be performance management system or process.
Invest in training for referees.
Implement a system where assessors review performances with the referees and improve the standard / consistency. Off the top of my head.
even league 1 is a multi million pound business, we have amateur officials.
Next you'll be telling me premier league players are better than league one players

You avoided the question.
Refs have never been so highly trained yet they still make mistakes. Can you name me a league in the world or indeed a referee who doesn't make a number of mistakes through a season?
No I did not. It was a ridiculous question. Its blatantly obvious refs in higher leagues are better officials
