Not everybody is hammering the refs....
Quote:West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola: "We have to understand the referee is a human being and can make mistakes. He needs our support. You can have a bad day but we need to support them as they are here to help the game.

Zola is to be applauded for his attitude towards referee's. The decision Cole received last night was disgraceful and for Zola to speak the way he did after the match speaks volumes for the man.

Flipper doesn't post negative links abou Man U or their players, but is the first when it concerns Liverpool. Such is life.
Personally, other than the odd one or two on here, this forum has lost any form of debate these days.
At least you can have a debate with the likes of Enfield, yourself, Dontknowwhyibother, Nemanja, Ian and a few more, the rest, such as Mark are only interested in one line put downs that offer nothing to a forum.
But, hey ho, it's a free world.
We could probably bring up various players and make points about what they get away with when compared to other players. I would agree its not fair when one player gets done for a petulent kick and another gets away with it but lets be honest we never get consistency from the refs of the FA and these types of discussions will still be happening 5 years from now.

Let's face it, the inconsistency is not just simply the 'subjectivity of the rules'. It's all also due to the incredible amount of pressure that managers, like Ferguson andc Wenger, put on officials. Ferguson will even 'go to town' on an official sometimes when he surely knows there was nothing wrong with the way the match was officated. He sometimes does it to protect his players. Meanwhile, these refs are getting slated in the press, receiving death threats and the likes. Good ole Fergie and his mind games, eh? What a guy

He's a classy guy. The other managers should take note.
