I guess the EPL Referees are going from worse to worsest. This weekend saw 3 red cards, which could have very well been avoided. The job of FA and Referee is to ensure that the game is played in the spirit. They are there to officiate and not play to the audience.
Such ridiculous and stupid decision, take the fun out of the game and irritates the players, managers and fans altogether. Idiots!!!

I agree the standard has totally gone down.Is it about the ones for Boro’s player,C.Ronaldo and Robben. I could agree that Cristiano’s is not a valid one.But Robben’s is a bit tricky. IMHO two things here..one the rule by itself doesn’t encourage celebrating this way and the other is for the player’s own safety.Had that goal been a bit controversial the home fans would have been furious and in the madness anything could have happened…even if Robben was far from the home fans or more worse what if this happens away from England.
