Thrney/ Joby s you domt like Mr Moss then.
Great posts and I completely agree with both of you.
I think perceived lack of accountability is a huge problem.
I,m sure they are held to account its hust that its not public accountability. Its all nush hush under the supervision of the head of referees old mother riley, one of the worst of his era. Managers/ players are compelled to give an interview no matter how bad their team has played, why arent refs obliged to do the same, it might help to give fans more explanation as to why decisions are made..
Thorney , wasnt that Forest game the one where Kasper was booked for the penalty incident, and then booked again (and therefore sent off) for kicking the ball back to the centre circle after the penalty was scored. ( and we still drew the game)
and sadio is an anagram of adios for mane against us (even though he probably woudnt have played against us in the Cariboa cup anyway )

Yes that was one incident,like the Vardy one,he didn't see it clearly ,wanted to send man off ,and was a dishonest decision.
The other one in that game was the penalty before that incident when our defender had both hands on floor,and ball deflected on to them,no hand movement,so a bad decision.
It says so much about the FA and the quality of refs that we only have one now who officiates in tournaments.
Quite simply the refs are unaccountable ,and know that no matter how bad they are,nothing will happen.
Have said many times ,between 20 to 30 percent of matches are decided by the performance of the officials.Totally unacceptable .

The moss on the wall in my garden would do a better job.

An average Moss beetle would do a better job.

Kate Moss would ...etc etc
...and also be a lot easier on the eye than any of the above (dependant on sexual orientation and species).
Could be the cause of dribbling in the penalty area though.

Dear God Dunge - I'm so glad I educated myself on the Moss beetle....

This guy would probably do a better job as well:

In fact, I'm taken by this paragraph:
"The unusual two legged moss dragon is truly one of nature's marvels. Capable of living in the harsh extremes of the desert, it is also found wandering through forested regions. This beast wanders the world blind and happy as an adult."
Now, is it just me or does that pretty much cover it? All that description needs to add is that it likes to blow its whistle at random for absolutely nothing.

Stirling Moss would almost certainly be driven to do a better job.
In fact the average resident of Moss side would likely do a better job.
For God's sake even a Moss Rose would do a better job!!!
