If anything this photo sums up the clear lack of understanding of the level of football they’re at.

Somebody please tell Jonathan Pearce this so he stops banging on about the “offside” before the penalty decision! @BBCSport

You’re in big trouble now 🤣😉
Replying to @HACKETTREF
We are now at the stage that people expect 100% accuracy from referees. It can't happen while humans referee. However no-one is interested in the human part anymore. Old Trafford Sunday, 300 decisions nailed on, 1 red, 1 penalty. Zero reliance on VAR which people say refs should be stop doing. Any league without VAR that is given as a FK. One finger touching the ball is deemed in control, people forget that. Our officials deserve far more credit than they receive. Martinez made a mistake and no-one is talking about it, again players can make mistakes but referees cannot. Villa didn't turn up, no-one is talking about it.

In shock news, Mr H****** criticises the organisation without considering the facts. I love the response that @MrChrisFoy gives. Fair and balanced. 👏🏼
Former referees' chief Keith Hackett has criticised the decision to appoint Thomas Bramall to officiate Aston Villa's defeat by Manchester United. #MUFC #AVFC #BBCFootball

🚨🚨ANTI-REF HACKETT BACKS REFEREES DECISION 🚨🚨 Ladies and gentlemen, the unthinkable has happened. @HACKETTREF has actually quoted law and backed a referees decision. If big Keith is happy, it must be right!

Wonderful to see some well informed and educated punditry from Jobi McAnuff 👏 also pleasing to see @SkyFootball share this on their socials even though it goes against their usual anti referee agenda
"It's a red card - there's no two ways about it" Jobi McAnuff and Troy Deeney react to Liam Manning calling Rob Dickie's red card a 'Disgrace'

You’re wrong guys, but thanks for playing 😂

There’s a reason this podcast is called the second tier podcast, because their knowledge of football, and law, is second tier at best. Have a watch, and a giggle, then realise this what we’re battling against 🤯🤯
“That shouldn’t be a red card” 😳 “Dickie has tried to play the ball!” 🧐 “It’s double jeopardy!” 😩 Should Rob Dickie have been sent off in Bristol City’s play-off semi-final? @RyanDilks1 & @JustinPeach27 say no!👇 🔗 lnk.to/secondtier #BristolCity #TwitterBlades

Spartan 2 - combined age 189. Still an official short elsewhere on the day. So tweet if you want but problems are easier than solutions!

Someone looking to blame elsewhere it seems 😂
Replying to @PadburyVFC
The refs aren’t great at the moment in the Spartan league, but they are not the reason you have conceded 71 goals and sit 2nd bottom, perhaps look at yourselves before looking at the officials.
