Referee Bias in Chelsea Games

[Heisenberg 1,824]

The FA didnt want us to win this cup, too much Chelsea for them in this competition.It was a joke today.

[Backstreet09 499]

Torres could have been the hero, if it wasn't for this cunt -__- #horriblereferee

[Hutcho 8,443]

Even Clattenburg didn't get his own thread...

[DDA 9,941]

I expect a full apology from Foy for not red carding Agueros assult on Luiz. Fucking atrocious he got away with that!

[xPetrCechx 13,573]

Shit cunt of a ref

[Ollie 4,400]

There are 4 officials in a match, yet they miss things time and time and time again. The technology is slowly coming in and it's not necessarily to help the game move on, it's because officials are fucking hopeless and need help because they cannot do their jobs, the jobs they get fucking paid to do, properly. If i did my job like Foy today, i'd get sacked, no discussion. It's like me bringing in stock and putting shampoo in the fucking kitchen gadgets section, ok i wouldn't get sacked for that but if i did it all the time i probably would be as it blatantly means i'm not good enough at my job and should get the "You don't know what you're doing" chants!

How many times to referees or their officials make the wrong call? It's a tough job but some decisions are NOT HARD and they get them so wrong that even i would get it right.

We need a referee's thread seriously because they are absolutely awful. There are 4 officials in a match, yet they miss things time and time and time again.

HE HATES CHELSEA.

[Jase 43,479]

Merged with the old thread.

You can moan, bitch, slam, lambast, blast, criticize, abuse etc the referees officiating our games but avoid over-stepping the mark please.

[Ollie 4,400]

Wow the old thread is a thread i've never seen before but it coincidentally or maybe not so surprisingly starts with Foy bashing so even Cap got in on the thread lol.

Screwed by Foy twice now and Clattenburg at least once. Keep this thread active, i'll be interested to how how many times we get fucked over by those hopeless retards that should be on the dole.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

TROLL?!

Well the complaints aren't very convincing. I mean he couldn't even see Aguero's challenge on Luiz and the Torres one.. Well put it this way, it's something all defenders do, including Chelsea ones, and they're rarely given.

[Leif 6,006]

Other fans joke about us being 'deluded' when we say refs favour other teams when they play us.

The media act like refs would never be bias - ever.

You get fans on here who like to take the side of the other fans saying there isn't ref bias against us as it's easier to follow the crowd.

You get fans on here who genuinely believe there is no bias.

But then there's fans like me who believe that the idea refs are bias against us didn't just come out of thin air.

We've had 'incidents', especially this season & last where our players have (rightfully IMO) put pressure on refs for dodgy calls. This has been taken to a whole new level though after the Mikel 'racism' accusation, the whole ball-boy thing, blah blah. My point is coming next:-

Why wouldn't there be bias refs? Why wouldn't there be bribed refs?

There's fixed games almost every season in Serie A with bribed and bias refs. There are fixed games in the Bundesliga and even La Liga too. It's also surfaced not too long ago, yet not blown up in the media for obvious reasons, that a 'particular big club' (believed to be Manchester United) have fixed a few games, especially between 2004-2009 I believe.

Sports have been fixed, staged, influenced etc. for decades if not longer. The NBA has corruption, boxing has the most obvious corruption probably, and it's spread like a cancer to all (that I can think of) popular sports. Football though? It's been prominent in football way before the Premier League even formed. Before Hazard, Mata and Oscar were born.

Refs support their own teams. Refs have a craving for money like players. Refs can be bought.

The notion that "Refs wouldn't do anything wrong on purpose because they're English and just not like that" is rather silly in my eyes. Everyone has a price; whether it be money or a motivation done in spite etc. I believe we currently suffer from the latter. I have little doubt in my mind that referees have conversed about our club, talked down on our club and spoken about how they loathe us after referee incidents. Even if refs tried their hardest to not let bias affect their judgement in games, it can even affect them subconsciously and sway their decisions into the other team's favour.

There are many possibilities, but the idea of refs being bias against us is quite rapidly looking like a probability.

That doesn't negate from the mistake and its reprecussions.

Especially when you consider this is the same guy who went back, conferred with the officials and spent time when sending Hazard off for kicking a ball boy, the decision adds salt to the wounds

[Spike 12,049]

We really haven't resorted to this have we?

[Beepu 1,714]

I think its impossible to not have a bias, since everyone has an opinion. Refs supports their team as well.

But we dont know how hard it is to see incidents when we are on the field, sure its easy when we see the whole picture from afar. What goes on in their mind before they make/not make a decision when there are thousands of people yelling in the stands.

Yeah theyre supposed to be professionals, not take sides, not cave into the pressure of the atmosphere and judge the game as it is in the rule book.

Foy is incompetent for sure, hes sucky. But he is human.

I think we're just looking for excuses in the wrong places and blaming these 2 oversights allows people to have someone else to blame instead of looking at the team.

You can't really compare it with the ball boy incident, I mean Luiz didn't even make a deal out of it because he didn't know what happened. No other players saw it properly, only the TV cameras did.

This thread is unnecessary.
