How many times have I said that the referees decide who will win/lose a game?
At the Newcastle/Fulham game the referee ruled out a perfectly good goal off Viduka, which meant they lost the game and the threat of relegation again hangs over their heads.
These so called professionals hold the livelihoods of coaches and players in their so called cackhanded decisions.
The champions league semi Barca v Chelsea again the ref ruled out numerous penalty decisions, okay, perhaps some of them may have been dubious, but it cost them the game. (You are not telling me tho', that the outcome of that game was decided long before the ref's whistle went for the kick-off).
But it is these inept performances that can jeopardise a clubs chance to progress to either a final or into the next round of a cup competition. I'm not just talking about football now, but all sports.
Look at all the bad decisions at Murrayfield, we were, I think, very lucky to have Mr Ganson.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
