As its a very topical subject at the moment I thought we could kick off with good old Martin Atkinson.
Martin Atkinson sent off Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic (third from right) during the 1-1 draw with Burnley
Martin Atkinson: Referee 'needs break after incompetent display'By Simon Stone BBC Sport
Martin Atkinson needs a rest after his "incompetent" officiating display in http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31466726" rel="nofollow - Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Burnley, says former referees' chief Keith Hackett.
Saturday's game was Atkinson's 32nd of the season and came fewer than 72 hours after he took charge of Real Madrid's http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31513358" rel="nofollow - Champions League win at Schalke.
His next game in charge is Southampton against Crystal Palace on 3 March.
Hackett said: "Champions League games are tiring. Martin should have been given an additional day to recover."
Atkinson won't referee a game this weekend, but there is a shortened Premier League fixture list because of the Capital One Cup final.
However, he is fourth official at Manchester United's home game against Sunderland on Saturday.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho said Atkinson got http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31569726" rel="nofollow - four key decisions wrong.
Atkinson sent off Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic for pushing Ashley Barnes to the ground in the 70th minute of Saturday's game.
Mourinho silent on four key 'moments'
But Hackett, who was head of Professional Game Match Officials Limited until 2010, said Barnes had already made two challenges worthy of red cards.
Having not been sanctioned for an aerial clash with Branislav Ivanovic, the Burnley forward caught Matic on his left shin with his studs showing, prompting the Serb's angry response.
Barnes will face http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31590728" rel="nofollow - no disciplinary action by the Football Association for the challenge on Matic.
The Serb will miss Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Tottenham unless http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31583092" rel="nofollow - Chelsea successfully appeal against a three-match suspension.
Hackett said Atkinson's performance was "one of the worst" he has seen, adding: "It was an incompetent display.

I am not too fussed when refs just get a decision wrong. What annoys me are the ones that they are seeing and not giving. Pulling and holding at corners especially. They are in fear of giving stuff in the box that they would happily give outside the box. It's cheating.

Although there's a big part of me that was opposed to video refs, there are simply far too many terrible decisions to not get some sort of help via video/technology
The standard of refereeing in the PL is terrible yet they regularly get European/International games which suggests the other leagues which I don't watch as much of are just as bad.

American football, rugby, cricket, tennis etc all can have a video ref involved. Christ so can the GAA yet for some reason football cant.
They had this great idea for the game to add two extra officials for the European game. Why? they dont do anything, even when they can clearly see its a pen or a corner/goal kick. A wheelie bin with a face painted on it is more use than them.
The officials are terrible and as The U says they still get European games. Look at the spanish league, the diving is unreal in it yet the officials tolerate it. Fouled - bang, hit the ground and roll around 7 times screaming slapping the ground then hold your arm in the air to signal to the bench you have possibly just died.

I would like to see where a tv ref can review something like the 10 seconds leading up to a goal. Stop the clock as the goal goes in and by the time the players are finished celebrating and on their way back to the half way line the tv ref would have made a decision. I think rugby league has tv refs that only have a certain amount of time to review something. Something like 45 seconds would be adequate from the time the tv ref sees the first series of replays.

The debate over refereeing standards in the Barclays Premier League has taken a new twist after it emerged Phil Dowd has admitted to getting his decision wrong in the Wayne Rooney penalty incident at Preston North End.
Officials in the top flight are under more scrutiny than ever as the season approaches a crucial stage with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho piling on the pressure after the controversial sending-off of Nemanja Matic in the game against Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
And now Sportsmail can reveal that Dowd – one of the game’s top referees – has admitted privately that he got the week’s other big controversial call wrong when he awarded Rooney a late penalty after he fell under a challenge from Preston goalkeeper Thorsten Stuckmann at Deepdale last Monday.

Stoke boss Mark Hughes has slammed referee Neil Swarbrick for not punishing Maynor Figueroa for his challenge on Stephen Ireland.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/stoke-city-fc" rel="nofollow - The Potters midfielder had to be withdrawn at half-time during http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/stoke-1-0-hull-peter-crouch-5244826" rel="nofollow - his side's 1-0 win over Hull , with Peter Crouch's header securing all three points.
And Hughes has claimed http://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/stephen-ireland" rel="nofollow - Ireland required as many as 15 stitches in his calf as a result, pointing the finger firmly at Swarbrick.
"I'm disappointed with performance of the officials. There was a tackle in the first half on Stevie which could have finished his career, said the Stoke boss.
"It was a shocking challenge. The day has been soured by it. He has a slice on his calf and has needed 12/15 stitches. He's in a bad way.
"The referees have got to get their act together. I think officials find it very difficult to get the key decision rights."

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/henrywinter/" rel="nofollow">
By http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/henrywinter/" rel="nofollow - Henry Winter , Football Correspondent
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/managers/jose-mourinho/" rel="nofollow - Jose Mourinho will need more than a studio sofa after the Football Association’s 85-word rationale into why Ashley Barnes got away with almost breaking Nemanja Matic’s leg. The http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/" rel="nofollow - Chelsea manager will need a psychiatrist’s couch. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11430259/Chelsea-compile-dossier-involving-Jack-Wilshere-and-Jan-Vertonghen-incidents-in-bid-to-get-Nemanja-Matic-ban-cut.html" rel="nofollow - The FA’s statement and attempted justification of Martin Atkinson’s failure to punish Barnes made dispiriting reading for all who want players protected , who believe that parts of the FA remain marooned in the 20th century.
It is deeply frustrating that the governing body cannot see that refereeing in this country is teetering towards crisis. Many players, managers and fans have just lost faith in English referees.
So here are those words in full, words that shame the FA and will surely lead to renewed calls for a shake-up of its disciplinary department and also for video technology to be introduced:
“The FA confirm no further action in relation to Ashley Barnes, as the incident was seen by the officials. In the vast majority of challenges for the ball, no retrospective action is taken as the incident has been seen by the match officials.
“Retrospective action was introduced as a deterrent for 'off the ball incidents’ committed out of sight of officials. The whole game is in agreement that, in the vast majority of cases, match officials are best placed to deal with incidents to avoid re-refereeing.”
As it stands, the FA is complicit in a miscarriage of justice. This is no witch‑hunt of Atkinson; this is a desire for the game to be refereed strongly and equably. The whole incident and unsatisfactory aftermath damages the reputation of English refereeing around the world. Burnley’s image as one of the cleaner sides in English football has taken a dent.
The FA’s claim that it can speak for “the whole game” is nonsensical and arrogant, while also ignoring the powerful sentiments expressed by two of England’s most iconic former internationals, Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker. Shearer described Barnes’s high tackle into Matic’s shin as “horrific” and “dangerous” while Lineker tweeted that “there has been some pony refereeing this weekend”.
Ashley Barnes's reckless challenge on Nemanja Matic Photo: SKY SPORTS
And not just this weekend. Refereeing has undoubtedly become the 'impossible job’ of the modern era. The man in the middle has to keep pace with fitter, faster players, dealing with certain professionals for whom scruples is a nightclub. Managers bemoan decisions and campaigns. The media highlights mistakes, social media dissects them and former officials are frequently unforgiving in their verdicts. Referees need assistance, artificial and human.
Help could be at hand, albeit slowly. Among the items for discussion at this weekend’s meeting of the International Football Association Board, at the Culloden Hotel near Belfast, is “ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/news/11431030/Video-technology-test-on-the-table-this-weekend.html" rel="nofollow - Video replay for match officials a. Feedback from the two Advisory Panels b. Discussion on potential options and subsequent steps”.
Howard Webb and the general manager of Professional Game Match Officials, Mike Riley, have assessed the experiment going on in Holland. Riley said of the Dutch that “they should be congratulated for the foresight on behalf of world football to say, 'How can we make this better?’ Because we can.” Because it is required. The travails of Riley’s refs confirm that.
Video technology is not a catch-all safety net; there are holes, there will be mistakes, but if a game awash with money at the most-scrutinised level cannot at least trial it, the vexed debate will roll on.
Sympathy for officials is dissipated by the reality that this is a very average crop of referees, something that the FA and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/" rel="nofollow - Premier League refuse to accept. Even some of the most widely-respected referees, such as Mark Clattenburg, Michael Oliver and Mike Dean, have endured difficult moments this season. Atkinson, a regular on the http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/champions-league/" rel="nofollow - Champions League circuit, erred badly on Saturday, leading to Mourinho’s Sunday sermon.
Every weekend brings more controversial incidents, more sulphurous headlines. The Premier League has yet to dispel the suspicion that it quite enjoys the deliberations, keeping its competition “trending” across the global news agenda. Last weekend was a particularly bad period for the officials. There was Kevin Friend’s mistake in not awarding http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/" rel="nofollow - Southampton a penalty for a trip by http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/" rel="nofollow - Liverpool ’s Joe Allen on Filip Djuricic. Jon Moss should have punished http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/west-ham/" rel="nofollow - West Ham ’s Mark Noble, who was already cautioned for pulling Andros Townsend’s shirt, with a second yellow for bringing down Nabil Bentaleb.
Some refereeing needs lauding, such as Moss’s correct decision to penalise Alex Song for fouling Harry Kane and then allowing the ensuing penalty phase to conclude (with Kane finishing off the rebound after Adrian saved) before blowing for full-time.
Much of the weekend’s focus revolved around Atkinson’s failure to sanction Barnes for his gruesome challenge, an unpunished offence that sent Mourinho hurtling into orbit and landing in Sky’s studios. Mourinho set the agenda, ensuring all eyes would be on him, Chelsea and the aggrieved Matic.
Yet poor officiating afflicts much of football. Other clubs than Chelsea are affected. Other managers have a right to complain. Ask Steve Bruce how on earth Mourinho’s centre-half, Gary Cahill, stayed on against http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/hull-city/" rel="nofollow - Hull following a bad tackle and then a dive. Ask Roberto Martínez how Branislav Ivanovic stayed on after his headlock on James McCarthy, the http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/everton/" rel="nofollow - Everton midfielder.
Despite the number of incidents and legitimate managerial frustration, the Premier League argues that everything is fine. “Some people are saying, 'Refereeing is not as good as it was in my day’, so many years ago, but they are viewing it through rose-tinted glasses without coming up with any evidence,’’ a Premier League spokesman said. “Standards have been high and have been rising for a number of seasons. There is 99 per cent accuracy on offside decisions. There is 95 per cent accuracy on the major decisions. We are pretty much on a par with last season and we’ve lost Howard Webb, while Lee Probert has been out all season injured.”
The Premier League points out that £1 million was spent on coaching referees last season, that there is a team of coaches advising referees, including Webb, and that there is a full-time sports psychologist working to ensure they have the requisite mental strength. But they need help, they need a chance to ascertain whether there would be fewer injustices with video technology.

As the refereeing fraternity comes under increasing pressure, there is a shocking disparity between the wages earned by Premier League officials and those who work more in the Football League.
Select Group referees — operating mostly in the Premier League — are believed to earn a basic salary of around £65,000 per year, while they also receive fees in excess of £1,000 per game in the top flight. If they were to officiate 38 games in a season, it would bring their overall pay to more than £100,000.
Referees on the National Group — operating in the Football League — are not on contracts and are paid in the region of £380 a match. They sign up to the National Group on the equivalent of a freelance basis. If they were to officiate the 46 games in a Football League season, they would receive £17,480.
Assistant referees on the National List are paid as little as £185 per match while fourth officials receive £110. So an assistant referee in the Championship would receive only £8,510 for a 46-game season but no retainer in the summer months.
In many cases, it will be less because assistant referees are not guaranteed a game in the Football League every week and will also combine fourth-official duties and officiating in non-League games. One assistant estimated that his yearly earnings would be closer to £5,000.
There is also no sliding scale between the Championship and League Two and Sportsmail’s calculations demonstrate that there could, in theory, be an £80,000 gap in pay between refereeing regularly in the Premier League and the Championship.
The lower pay in the Football League is thought to be one reason why there are so few good referees coming through the system. It is also hard to dislodge the top-flight referees, who are determined to stay where they earn the big money.
The Football League say it is an ongoing debate as to whether more officials should be made professional.
The wage discrepancy represents a fresh blow to the credibility of the PGMOL.

More baffling and abysmal decisions in midweek:
- Hutton getting away with a savage tackle on Berahino. Both players get the same punishment after going head to head
- Smalling penalty decision, ref can't see but surely the linesman should put his flag up
- Leicester penalty decision for Bony arm across Schlupp - can tell by Bonys reaction its a penalty (although quite funny hearing that obnoxious c**t Pearson whinge after the game)
- Chelseas offside goal
and on a side note - what made Naismith so angry with Bardsley last night when he was merely shielding the ball? Has a touch of the wee man's syndrome that horrible basturd Naismith

still think he could have been more consistent, why did sanchez get a free on the edge of the box a few mins before di maria when he threw himself to the ground? the "peno incident" in the first half, did welbeck not dive to the ground?

Have to say that ref was brilliant last night in the fact of that cheating from united. I hate divers and its good to see a ref do the right thing for a change and not be bullied into giving a pen.

Oliver had a great game at the United v Arsenal match but how he didnt give a penalty for Cameron's challenge on Dawson, luckily it didn't affect the result. Also City should've had a penalty for Mee's tackle on Zabaleta.

It was a horrendous decision on the Zabaleta penalty. In real time it looked 100% a penalty and how on earth could anyone have imagined that he dived either watching it in real time.

Former official Howard Webb will be the man who selects officials for Premier League games following his appointment as performance director for the Select Group of referees.
Webb, 43, who retired as a referee last year after a career which included taking charge of the 2010 World Cup final, will take charge of the 17 full-time professional officials.

AMY LAWRENCE THE GUARDIAN
Why do it? Talking to the men earmarked to be the elite referees of the future, an unavoidable question elicits a knowing smile. This season, criticism of a pressurised vocation has flared up to the point where some former officials have felt compelled to turn on their own and lament the standard. That is quite striking, because the more you talk to referees the more obvious it is that supporting each other through thick and thin is fundamental.
So why do it? Why spend countless hours driving up and down the country to dole out rules, some of which are inevitably going to upset people, trying to climb up the officiating ladder until you reach the chance to make decisions on television in front of millions who scrutinise you and lacerate your ability courtesy of umpteen different angles and slow-motion replays?
A glimpse of an answer suddenly appears written all over the face of Lee Swabey moments after he blows the final whistle of a 2-1 win for Grimsby over Woking in the Conference. He gets what all referees hope for every time they step into the middle of the fray. “Twenty-two handshakes,” he explains afterwards, proudly. Symbolically, a full set of handshakes, plus a well done from both managers, represents maximum satisfaction. Once he has showered, changed, and he and his assistants have had a quick debrief with the assessor, Swabey is still beaming. “The buzz,” as he calls it, of a game that passes smoothly, is something he loves. “I wouldn’t spend so much time away from my family if this didn’t mean the world to me.”
As one of the group that is highly regarded by the powers that be of PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) for his potential, Swabey knew he was being watched at Woking’s Kingfield stadium. PGMOL’s chief, Mike Riley, was in attendance, alongside Steve Dunn, who is the coach for this level, plus the assessor John Norbury, armed with notes and stopwatch to catalogue every significant move the officials make.
Three wise men? http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/01/wes-brown-sending-off-not-mistaken-identity" rel="nofollow - The organisation has been in the spotlight during a season http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/feb/21/chelsea-burnley-premier-league-match-report" rel="nofollow - pockmarked by controversial errors . But none of that seems to diminish their belief in what they are trying to do. There are certainly a lot of high-profile matches and game-changing calls under their collective belts, and they see it as a duty to pass that experience on to the next generation. To help.
A few weeks earlier, Riley, Dunn and another former referee, Peter Jones, made their way to Alfreton Town to cast their eye over another tipped to progress – John Brooks is something of a prodigy in the mould of http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/27/you-are-the-ref-paul-trevillion" rel="nofollow - one of the current favourites, Michael Oliver . He has been running the line at Premier League level since the age of 21, has taken to refereeing in the Conference in his first season at this standard, has every chance of being promoted to the Football League list in the next couple of years, and then who knows? “I hope to have the opportunity to get promoted to the Premier League and officiate some of the top games in this country,” Brooks says.
The most the PGMOL delegation got to observe, however, was the way Brooks handled the somewhat tricky situation of calling off Alfreton v Lincoln because of a frozen pitch. It is all part of the rich tapestry of experience Brooks needs to acquire before he is trusted with more high-profile games, the myriad different problems outside a normal 90 minutes which need dealing with – often clubs are very reluctant to have a late postponement, particularly when they have to pay all the stewards and staff who have turned up but will not receive any gate money.
Brooks phoned his coach, a former referee supplied by PGMOL to be a mentor of sorts, for advice. With confidence reaffirmed, he made the difficult but right call. A little later the Alfreton secretary arrived with envelopes to pay the officials for their time – the match fee in the Conference is £95 so it is safe to suggest these men do not do it for the cash.
Brooks, like Swabey, has clear ambition to progress. He is under no illusions that developing a thick skin and perfecting strategies to deal with disappointments is a big part of that. How does he feel watching Match of the Day when a referee gets vilified? “Erm … not great,” he admits. “I’ve been in that situation once where I have made an incorrect decision and it was a deciding goal that was just offside. That is tough. Your heart sinks. You can’t stop thinking about it.
“I do sometimes wish people understood the time and effort we put in.
“It is very easy to slate a decision but we do everything to try to get these decisions right. In certain situations you are going to be unpopular but if you are uncomfortable with that you are probably in the wrong job.”
So Riley, Dunn and Jones retreat to the Alfreton boardroom for a hot dinner and the chance to explain how they go about garnering the improvements that will help the best reach the top and officiate in the http://www.theguardian.com/football/premierleague" rel="nofollow - Premier League . They are an interesting mix. Yorkshireman Riley is quietly methodical. Dunn, a hearty Bristolian, bursts with enthusiasm. Jones, from Leicester, is straight talking and sage.
What they all agree upon is that the backup, education and tools that today’s referees have is a world away from what they experienced in their own days with the whistle. Riley, as a young ref, went out and bought himself a load of books on psychology and nutrition as there was no information on offer to him at all. Jones recalls that if he had a bad game he just had to rely on a “Don’t worry, you’re OK” from a fellow ref to pick him up.
Contrast this with Brooks, for example, who has a coach at the end of the phone. They consult weekly, discuss how his games have gone, study footage of key decisions and work out how to improve. He also has the support of sports psychologist Liam Slack on hand for regular guidance. He has an exercise regime to help him handle the 11km he runs during a game, does a variety of fitness, stamina and warm-down work around games, and knows enough about nutrition that after calling off the match at Alfreton he wants to head to the gym to burn the 2,000 calories he had eaten to fuel him for the expected 90 minutes.
“With elite performance they have all the backup – strengthening, conditioning and all the psychology involved,” says Riley. “We want to tailor that education with our next generation.”
PGMOL put £1m into coaching and training referees last season, to attempt to mimic as best they can the kind of professionalism that has become the norm for players. There are get-togethers several times a season at the FA’s national football centre, St George’s Park.
Psychology is a particular focus. Brooks says it is vital in his development. “One of the things we have talked about recently is parking decisions and moving on,” he explains. “There may be a big decision to make in the first 30 seconds of the game. Once you have made that you need to stay focused for the next 89 minutes and not be wondering whether that was correct or worrying about that decision. Liam has taught us some techniques for releasing that decision. We have been shown clips where you make a major decision and then shortly after that you make another couple of incorrect decisions because that is still on your mind. Working with the sports psychologist is really important for mental toughness.”
Dunn picks up the theme: “If something has gone terribly wrong you can ring someone – there is a code of conduct and everything is confidential, the senior management won’t even know about the conversation – but they can talk in confidence, we can help them and go through the game with them. They can offload a lot of their concerns. Our job is to build them up so they can be ready for the next game.”
Jones believes the whole approach can only help. “I refereed in professional football but looking back I was an amateur,” he says. “I was going to work – I worked for British Telecom – and I might referee at Newcastle on a Wednesday with the pressure that came with that, and 9am the next morning I was in Leicester trying to speak to customers. I perhaps hadn’t slept. Or I had driven back, no chance of stopping. Training was ad hoc. We were amateurs in a professional environment compared to now.”
When the subject of technology comes up, the three former refs are unanimous in their support of it. If it can be harnessed the right way to aid officials, it is welcome. “We are all in favour of anything that makes the referee’s job better and makes them more effective on the field of play,” says Riley.
Minimising mistakes is the aim. After all, a bad decision can stick with you for a while. “The rest of your life,” notes Jones with a chuckle.
BIG CALLS GO BAD
Former referees’ head Keith Hackett called this season’s elite refereeing standards “disastrous” and “the worst we have seen”. Among the recent high-profile mistakes:
■ 21 Feb Martin Atkinson is accused of missing a “potentially career-ending” challenge by Burnley’s Ashley Barnes – sending off Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic for retaliating instead.
■ 28 Feb Roger East sends off Sunderland’s Wes Brown instead of John O’Shea for fouling Radamel Falcao – but denies it was mistaken identity. Brown’s red card was overturned.
■ 21 Mar West Brom manager Tony Pulis calls for an extra video official after Neil Swarbrick sent off Gareth McAuley, mistaking him for Craig Dawson.
