Swansea v Preston. Ref Oliver Langford
« on: Wed 19 Apr 2023 21:38 »
I have to say that Mr Langford has caused most of the problems tonight with inconsistent decisions for both teams which has caused frustration. However there is no excuse for the bust up. It has then kicked off big time on the touchline which lead to two red cards for the Preston manager and Joe Allen of Swansea who had been subbed. This game needs to end asap all round

A Referee isn't responsible for the behaviour of players whether his decisions be inconsistent or otherwise.

I agree re the colour of the shirt. Black would have been better. As to the ref not being responsible for the player’s behaviour. Again of course I agree, however having watched the game live. It was no surprise that it boiled over. You could see the frustration of the players building, again no excuses but you could see it coming

If you could see the frustration building, then any manager worth his salt could also see the frustration building and this is when a good manager and the team captain should calm things down and get on with the game.
Instead of  that happening, we had a manager very much involved in the poor behaviour, sadly, something which has become more common in  the game at all levels, and senior players also going beyond what is acceptable.

Having said that, none of those involved will accept that they are in any way to blame, such is life these days. It just has to be the referee's fault because he did not give the decisions that either team wanted. Never mind, I am sure that the Championship teams will be more than happy when VAR is introduced ------- that should sort everything out.
Referee's decision used to be final!
