Referee Mark Halsey's claims.

[Kinky Gerbil]

Makes you wonder what is going on, that tosser Dean giving penalties away left , right and centre and other refs ignoring the same offence.

Dean is actually in the right.

They directive was for refs to clamp down on shirt pulling at corners/set pieces.

Which is needed

So much wrong with this, can you provide proof of a ref cheating in the uk top leagues?

Money changing hands as a form of a bribe?

Illegal betting on matches?

I bet the winter evenings fly by in your house?
Herbert logic.

This. Halsey only had to ask the person making the request to put the request in writing. And then kick up a stink.

I suspect it would have required a brave man to challenge the referees' association who would have probably killed off his career and got away with it. I always quite liked Halsey. I remember having a chat with him when we were at Gillingham - decent bloke and imo a decent ref.

I'll take that as a no then.

I would imagine one of their own going public with this is about to blow the lid on what referees get up to.as with FIFA, when one gets caught they all start singing like canaries

What's needed is more consistency. So a player pulling back on an attacker's shirt will concede the pen each and every time. One of the reasons people become so disillusioned with the game is that there's no guarantee that two identical incidents in a game (or identical incidents in different matches) will get the same treatment by the refs. If a player blocks a free kick by throwing his arms towards his face, will that constitute deliberate handball or unintentional? If a player mouths off to a ref, will he get cautioned, sent-off, or neither? It's one of the things I think that makes football the poor man's equivalent of rugby or cricket, because even though I find them more boring to watch, at least there's a great deal more respect for the officials and the sport in general.

I don't disagree.

I'm merely pointing out Dean is the one in the right here.

For me I think it's near on impossible for refs to all be the same, I just want consistency in the same ref - then you know where you stand - as you have pointed out.

Halsey in whistleblower shock!

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Where there is too much money you will find corruption....sadly this is modern football and after not missing home games since the late 80s I am seriously considering giving it all up when we reach the premiershit

 

[Napier's Knee]

The biggest problems are total inconsistency (even within some matches) and the frankly awful quality of the referees outside the top three or four PL refs. The quality of the officlals at our level really is bad.

 

[Surf's Up]

Refs Assoc is a semi-Masonic body, thin end of a very thick wedge imho.

Halsey has never been popular since he went on BT as an analyser now all the ex refs are after some SKY/BT money, it needs now for Halsey to name names and hopefully it will be that little weasel Old Mother Riley right in the middle of it

It gets even worse if this is true, someone is going to do time

Wow forget any FA investigation, the Police Fraud team need to get involved now if there is any substance to this comment

 

[drew]

He needs to name the people that told him to keep quiet. Too easy to leave it as the 'organisation' told him to ignore incidents!
