everSince King Kenny thinks the Referee Webb's penalty decision against Liverpool is a joke!
& Similarly Babel was punished 10K for his twittering 'joke'.
I thought then this will be a great & timely thread to discuss & address it in every football forum.
Let me begin here by quoting what one of our resident 'Pulis' has to say

graham poll is a joke of the refs. The numbers of shit he made in big matches and tournaments are crazy. and when retire he chosed to continue his bullshit with one of the news agency that always spurt out nonsense to sensationalize their news.
I once said and will say again: If the refs demanded respect, then they better got their jobs and acts right first! If you do your job right, like Perluigi Collina, then respect will come automatically, no need to be demanded. referring like shit, yet still want respect

Mike Dean had no option but to show Rafael da Silva his second yellow card and dismiss him on Sunday at White
Hart Lane - and the independent assessor would have been highly critical had he not done so.
Rafael has, rightly in my view, been charged by the FA with improper conduct for his outburst following his red card.
The Brazilian has until 6pm on Tuesday to respond
In the tunnel after the 0-0 draw, Sir Alex Ferguson let Dean know he felt the dismissal was harsh and believed that
Rafael's immaturity should have been taken into consideration. Really? Well, the laws of the game do not allow a
referee to take a player's age into account and nor should they.
Manchester United and Ferguson should count themselves lucky that they finished the game with 10 men. If the law
had been applied on Sunday as it is written - and I believe it should be - Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic should
have been taking early baths along with the 20-year-old.
These ugly and clear displays of dissent highlighted that the FA's Respect programme has had little effect.
Rafael received his first yellow for a lunging tackle on Wilson Palacios. The same two players clashed again later
and the Brazilian really should have received a second caution for his reaction in brandishing an imaginary card to
ensure Palacios was booked.
Dean will reflect when reviewing the video that had he seen Rafael's gesture clearly, he would have sent him off with
a second caution.
Rafael was eventually given his marching orders after being caught out of position and made to chase Benoit
Assou-Ekotto down the touchline.
In such cases the duty of care lies with the pursuer. So the contact made, however minimal, must be seen as
unsporting, leaving Dean with no option but to send Rafael off.
Rooney's reaction was appalling: shouting in Dean's face and using foul language seen by all TV viewers. When you
are in such a situation, having already sent one player off, you just try to calm things down.
During United's 4-2 win at Arsenal in February 2005, Rooney infamously swore at me 27 times in the first half alone.
Yet I considered my performance in that match to be the finest in all of my 329 Premier League games
Only now, having stepped away from refereeing, do I realise the damage I may have caused to the game in not
sending Rooney off.
Dean was eventually forced to caution Rooney on Sunday as he persistently berated the official. But until the FA
take charge of referees and tell them to apply the law, such scenes will not be punished correctly and will occur
again and again.
Until I stopped refereeing, I could not see the harm in allowing such blatant dissent to escape punishment. If the FA
really want us to believe that their Respect programme is alive and making a difference then they need to change
the advice which select group referees receive.
Proof that when players' foul tirades are not dealt with strongly, those players will continue to abuse officials, came in
the 85th minute at White Hart Lane on Sunday. The assistant referee who correctly indicated an infringement by
Vidic was abused by him.
He, too, should have been dismissed but a referee cannot act if not advised correctly by his assistant. So United
continue on their unbeaten run and will only

As usual be civil & follow forum rules.
My guidelines.
1. Start by giving your opinion whether current batch of FA refereeing is a joke.
2. Why & cite instances i.e. give examples &
3 Then you can blow off your steam or AIR your beef according to your MOOD.
4. And if you like give suggestions what mitigating steps can be carried out by all involved in Righting the 'FA Respect the Referees' Campaign' (if its warranted IYO)
