Weekend Football; 31st -1st - *SPOiLERS*

Mike Riley might have made the wrong decision with Lampard, that alone doesn't bother me. What would annoy me is that Gerrard made a similar tackle and received no punishment.

There is NO way Mike Riley would send off Gerrard at anfield.

Gerrard could butcher the opposing team with a samurai sword and a machine gun and all that would happen is Riley would award him a penalty.
 
Mo Matadar is an awful linesman. I've seen him in 3 games this season that I can recall and he's made a massive mistake in all them.

It's about time linemen and referee's started to get into a good physical shape.

This is true, :D

Refs aren't consistent, and they don't have the confidence (balls) to make big decisions, like sending Gerrard off.

Agreed. He signalled for a foul againest Yossi! Even though he got kicked off the pitch by Bosingwa. Absolutely crazy, why arn't Liverpool taking this further.

I wouldn't go that far. He's been sent off 5 times.
Mike Riley is the biggest United fan ever. I was suprised he sent Lampard off. Or maybe he thought Chlesea are the bigger threat to United's title challenge....
Are you kidding me? He ruins our matches.

He's just to say better than Howard Webb.

No self respecting Man Utd referee would have sent a Chelsea player off over a Liverpool player. Get your fachhtss right. ;) Or maybe he was giving Liverpool hope. False hope. But still hope nevertheless. :p

He's notorious for awarding pennos to the home side at Old Trafford. Obviously, you'd expect that MU would win a few at home but I certainly wouldn't say he was anti-MU by any means. You'd only got to look at what happened back in 2004 to see some truly awful decisions favouring them (remember, not every bad decision will show up in stats - take Rio cleaning out Ljungberg for example)
 
You forgot about Riley bottling it and blowing the final whistle instead of sending off Ferdinand for assaulting Drogba at Stamford bridge earlier in the season.
 
Sending him off? What for? It was nothing.

Worst referee is Clattenburg, thankfully he is suspended. Of current referees Howard Webb is the worst, followed by Riley. Only Alan Wiley and Mark Halsey are doing a decent job in matches I've seen this year.
