Referee analyst ... really ?

That went through the Belgian Court system.

We might as well start this season again then...

 

[ARedChester]

Its a pushback, and one I agree with personally. Many clubs follow suit until these ridiculous decisions that 6 people get wrong is improved

Its Forest saying YOU will be judged as well, YOUR incompetance WILL be highlighted.

Im all for it.

Can you imagine if you were left with Keith Stroud as the only ex-official to hire, or, what sort of club would hire him ....!!

 

[Bobby The Brain]

he's a figurehead of sorts in his own right

A figurehead?… of sorts?

He’s the bloody chief official for Gladiators ffs. Let that sink in.

EPL are shite-ing themselves.

He’s got that man mountain giant on a lead drooling as he hasn’t eaten all morning!!

If he could bring Sabre and Diamond to the next match, it would be much appreciated.

 

[Green Jumper]

EM seems to be putting pressure on the PL where possible , my guess it’s all rolled into the FFP fiasco. He’ll end up suing them

I think it's pretty much inevitable the PL will be served papers this summer, regardless of the FFP result.

EM looks really pissed off that his money is being messed with and doesn't seem like the type to stand for it without fighting back.

I'm sure Manchester United would happily have him back on their payroll.

 

[valspoodle]

Sky have an ex-ref in the studio to chat about VAR, now we have a ref analyst to try and sort out VAR and other refereeing problems.

The system which was brought in to sort out football is having serious problems of it's own, it would seem.

 

[Captain Sinister]

I'm sure Manchester United would happily have him back on their payroll.

Did he ever leave?
He can't have done, because when he does they will have a testemonial for him.

 

[youreds1986]

I get what we are trying to do.

But the sight of Mark Clattenburg speaking in an official capacity for Forest half an hour before he's prancing around on Gladiators with his EC Final tattoos on show makes us look like a f***ing laughing stock.

 

[valspoodle]

You pays your money and makes your choice.

Clattenberg might look odd on Gladiators, but we would not have had blanket publicity on Saturday about that bollock referreing if he wasn't here.

 

[Sir John Borlase Warren]

Really dumb discussion on R5 Monday Night about why we're doing this. We're doing it because, like Wolves a year or so back, there have been just too many poor decisions for us to accept as bad luck. If it gets people to think a bit harder before making decisions then that's fine with me. Us small clubs (as described by the PL Chief) need to find ways to get heard in all the noise about the 6.

 

[Redemption]

It's probably to placate EM and stop him demanding we write letter to PGMOL every week like an Howard Webb fanboy..

On your actual point, I think it would be a risky strategy to preempt how refs are going to officiate a game in the future.

And here we are.

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Doing a lot of good for us so far.

Marinakis is a genius.

 

[Cortez the Killer]

We don't need to play well when we've got a Referee Analyst and a top legal professional on our books.

This is to announce that I will no longer be providing match analysis services to NFFC.
Since February this year, I have been proud to have done so under a consultancy agreement between NFFC and Referee Consultant Ltd.
I performed my services under the consultancy agreement in good faith, to the best of my abilities and in the hope of using my extensive experience as a match official to help NFFC understand how decisions in relation to key match incidents are made amid the workings of VAR.
However, it is now clear that the existence and performance of these consultancy services has caused unintended friction between NFFC and other participants, to the extent that it has become more of a hinderance than help to NFFC. It has also led to the unmerited targeting of me, personally, by certain participants and pundits.
Such reactions and outcome was not expected and is regrettable, as it is my sincere belief that there is a place for and value in such a role in the modern game.
I am grateful to NFFC and wish them all the best during the remainder of the season and in the future. It’s been an honour.

 

[Flaggers]

Also he can't spell "hindrance"

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Bradley Walsh clearly not happy with Mark's time being diverted away from Gladiators

 

[Browser79]

Interesting turn of events, in advance of the potential charges coming our way for calling a spade a spade.

Wonder how frictious this friction is…

 

[enlightened]

We don't need the soft twat anymore anyway - we've lit the blue touchpaper and now we just need to wait to see whether the firework goes off or fizzles out. We need lawyers more than a refereeing consultant that is no better placed to see a crappy refereeing decision than my nan is.

 

[Redemption]

I wasn't a fan of this so-called innovation.

So I'm not sad to see it go.

It delivered the square root of f*** all and was simply and ultimately part of the Mariakis emotional charged performative leadership. It might be appropriate in Greece, its laughable in England.

 

[Est.1865]

Failed experiment.

Absolute f***ing clown and the fact he was even hired in the first place shows this club for exactly what we currently are.

Hmmm

I hope you're not questioning the integrity of an (ex) referee there
