Inconsistant reffing

"Ref looked like he had it in for us from the get go."

Yep an inept terribly inconsistent performance from the ref today. We were poor. But by god

How does the ref know if a player is sarcastically clapping or for complementing him in Cissy's case ?

As bad as the ref was we didn't help ourselves with the way our players were behaving after Cahill's red card.

The ref played a big part in influencing the outcome of the game, not to be underestimated. Yes our players should have kept their focus, rather than losing their heads in the first half. I thought Cissy's 2nd yellow card was harsh too !! There is no denying the the ref was MOM today

The worst decision was when he gave a yellow card to Rudiger and a free kick to Burnley on the edge of our box in the last minute - I really thought the ref was trying to finish the game off.

he finished the game after 13 minutes, he was just getting worried that Chelsea might actually pull the three back with 9 men. then he would have looked a tool

Why we blaming the ref? Both red cards were the correct decision.

Cahill as per usual terrible with the ball at his feet, overruns it which leads to a clumsy over the top foul.

Fabregas - no discipline in a midfield two. Sarcastic clap and a late slide tackle which could have easily been a straight red

Is it wrong to criticise a ref for a poor game, I don't think many are arguing about the cards but the ref seemed pretty inconsistent to me and most I've spoken to. Of course we may be biased but can only call it as we see it.
