28 seconds in Hibbert went in strong and won the ball, Atkinson gave a free kick, knew what was coming from there, game over match in the bag for the red shite and some of them even manage to brag over a piss poor performance against 10 men with a ref doing everything he could to help them.
We've bee fucked over by the ref nearly every game this season, and never get a fair share of decisions over a season. The FA need to sort it out because this system obviously doesn't work. I had the same thought last week when I seen Webb was ref, that I did when Atkinson was given the derby. If certain referees are so shite/bias/blantant-cheats that fans can differentiate them from the rest of the other refs it's time for change. Refs have a hard job, lots of pressure so they can be forgiven for the odd mistake(Ref against Wigan-looked amateur but his performance although shit was honest and he just had a 'mare) but these aren't even mistakes they're cheating.
QPR-ref could have done better
B'burn-biased ref
Villa-biased ref
Wigan-awful ref(jus didn't get anything right for or against)
City-biased ref
Liverpool-biased ref
This will make me sound bitter, but it's every season. Am sick of it.
