47 min “That was indeed a staggering miss by Haaland,” says Matt Dony. “But these happen. Because people make mistakes. A referee makes a stupid mistake, and everyone bangs on about either corruption and fixing, or absolute incompetence. Referees should be able to turn it back on the players. Andy Madley should give an interview after the game; ‘We’re supposed to be refereeing in the best league in the world. This is the top level. Misses liked that just aren’t acceptable. The players are letting us down.’”
Heh, quite. The reaction to some refereeing errors this season – and some decisions that weren’t even errors – has been so irresponsible. No matter how angry we are, no matter how grave the injustice, we should never forget that some of these referees are human beings.
Just right. It's the same as Cleveland "Browns" fans letting down the team.
