Lucky for him he didn't player for Sydney or the WSW at the derby with Shaun Evans reffing. He would have leaped off the Gap after the match.

What a goose. Issue him with a hefty fine on the way out.

 

[melbcityguy]

Says more about MacArthur then anything else

 

[MoorePark]

More used as a formal excuse to go to Japan, good on him.

@Muz @NicCarBel are ref standards in Australia even bad? Reckon i've seen worse standards in a lot of euro leagues. I'm sure the big 5 are better

They have been utterly inconsistent within the game and between games.

Since the introduction of VAR, refereeing standards world wide , have dropped considerably.

same thing happened in cricket. Couldn't believe how accurate umpires would be at distinguishing nicks off the bats v other parts of the body

I'm sorry but this is hilarious. Did he try and buy the refs or something? Standard Macarthur that would have been.

I think they're fine. The people moaning about subjective decisions are nuts.

You get some, you don't get others.

I could talk about this for hours but I won't.

I honestly don't understand how these people can enjoy a football match when they're always looking for fault.

Try this exercise, not you grazor specifically, to improve your enjoyment of watching football 1000%.

Say to yourself 'I can see why he might have given that, even if I don't agree with it'.

Lol at citing the refs as an excuse to leave for a better contact offer.

The ref standards in Australia are only bad, if you support a club. Apparently.

Amazingly people think that in EVERY. SINGLE. LEAGUE. in the world the standards are 'bad'.

Just goes back to my general niggling thing I use for game management - if I'm told a decision of mine is a joke, or something along those lines within the first ten minutes, I make sure if that player does something and fails (usually a shot that goes out for a throw in), I make sure I let them know about good and bad decisions at the next stoppage.

 

[Frankly Speaking]

This has PRATT written all over it.

 

[ashtongate]

Well, Dwight Yorke did call MacArthur a pub team, so...

 

[Kitwally]

Which club in Japan is he going to?

The only sport I can recall that had a marked improvement on refereeing standards in my lifetime has been tennis when Jon McEnroe kept going ballistics at the chair umpiring. In reality VAR was meant to improve the refereeing standards but I think that the technology remains to immature for it.
But what has really hurt the game has been the directive to allow play to continue so where in seasons past a foul would be called they no longer are which has led to greater inconsistency by the referees.

I can't imagine him going to Japan. That's like someone dressed as the devil walking into a church. They won't stand for that attitude in Japan for long.
