Jon Moss as manager and Martin Atkinson as coach?

Of what? The referees 5-a-side team?  Why do referees need a manager?

its Kate Moss and Rowan Atkinson

Have you actually read the article? ;)

A whole new generation of referees ran by Riley, managed by Moss and coached by Atkinson. What could possibly go wrong?

To be fair, Moss' new job doesn't involve running so that automatically makes him 50 percent less shite...

Really trying their best to mark this as a controversial goal, despite it being a foul on Milner if anything and 3 referee’s agreeing it’s fine.

Yeah the lad actually injured himself by kicking Milners foot

Wasn't even a hard/controversial decision - one half of the BT Commentary team are desperate to make it seem like one though

They both went in high, that's factually correct, both tried to play the ball at height.  Doku with his foot, Mac Allister with his chest.

Beat me to it.

Lazy refereeing in long stretches of time. Linesmen keeping flags down for 2-yard offsides is another annoying thing... If you're not sure, I get it, but when it's so fucking clear that Stevie Wander would see it, what's the point?!

Yeah, it's to bad the Ref doesn't give every call to us.

It's the Ref's fault Sadio, Mo, Diogo, and Luis all missed clear chances. Should have found a reason to give Newcastle free kicks before those chances to save their blushes.

Pathetic from marrriner. Ok if it's a yellow for Gomez can you please explain why joelinton wasn't shown a second yellow? Why the foul (given) wasn't a yellow from one of theirs(forget who). The yellows for Jota and joelinton were lazy and showed how marriner is in no way authorative.

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Knight and tubby are pretty sure it’s just bad reffing, definitely nothing odd going on. That was just a tough call, right lads?

"clear and obvious" = "licence to apply bias"

VAR is only useful for offside, and our team has exploited it beautifully. For fouls it is almost completely useless and only serves to infuriate fans. Oh wait, that was the idea all along, wasn't it.
