There were two instances in tonight's game between Newcastle and Liverpool I'd like to highlight. The reason being the vast difference in refereeing going on in the Premier League. The first was where a Liverpool player deliberately barged a Newcastle player over, similar to where Chappers was barged over in our penalty area. On this occasion the result was the Liverpool player was yellow carded and a free kick awarded where as we got nothing. The second was where a Liverpool player stuck out his foot in exactly the same manner as Szmodics did giving away a penalty. This time absolutely nothing. There is far too much of this going on where the same type of incidents in different matches are given totally different outcomes. If the rules are there then the outcomes should be exactly the same. |  | | |  |

A Palace player waved an imaginary card at the ref before Liam Delap was booked, no yellow for the Palace player but tonight a Man Utd was booked when he did it, as you say no consistency in PL ref's. |  | | |

The ref association will tell you that no two incidents are ever the same and in every incident you've got thousands who believe it should go one way and thousands who think it should go the other. |  |

For me this striving for conistency across all games is a waste of time and also why we have been saddled with VAR.
When various of the laws of the game still have "in the opinion of the referee" or similar as a pre-requisite pan-game consistency is an unachievable aim.
As a fan all I ever wanted from the officials was a basic level of competence and decisions applied consistently across the 90 minutes of the match. |  |

Different games with different referees in incidents interpreted differently shock |  |

The laws of the game have always been open to a certain level of interpretation by the match officials and therefore can result in a different outcome.
The trouble is that these days with 24x7 coverage and micro analysis of everything Premier League these different interpretations are magnified and highlighted far more. Add to that VAR which a lot of the time adds another level of subjective human analysis and it’s all compounded further.
It is no different to any other contact sport such as Rugby or American Football.
We as fans have to accept the human element in referees and move on, there can never be this utopian “consistency” that everyone clamours for because of the human and subjective interpretations. [Post edited 5 Dec 2024 8:13]

Despite other negative comments I basically agree obviously we are not going to get 100% but at the moment I feel the I consistency is terrible . I also feel that Berhard Gallagher is a joke the way he rarely feels the Ref's get a decision wrong is unhelpful. [Post edited 6 Dec 2024 7:44]

Every human makes mistakes. Fans highlight ref mistakes but conveniently overlook mistakes by players, or rather happy to accept players are human and make mistakes.
The problem for refs is the rules are open to interpretation. Now they have looked at making rules hard without interpretation, for examples any time a ball hits a players hand/arm it's hand ball irrelevant of situation. That was quickly stopped as it was demand unfair if the player is standing a few inches from the contact of the ball. So they went with the hand/arm being in an unnatural position. But that automatically means different refs can interpret 'unnatural' differently.

If broadcasters, managers/coaches, players, chairmen, football authorities, etc understood the laws of the game and accepted that human interpretation is open to variance, fortunes could have been saved by not bothering with VAR. Fans I exclude because fans will always argue the toss about refereeing decisions.
VAR doesn't help. It makes things more complicated and is getting very close to re-reffing the game.
Scrap it and re-empower assistant referees. Go back to go forward | |

It's not just about interpretation and mistakes, refs do their homework, some are good at it,whilst others aren't. Take the utd ref, he clearly knew which players like to go down easily, he barely blew the whistle when ever Garnacho went down, but then the forest ref blew evertime Jota got shot. | |

Yup and the penalty incident against Leicester that was not given by the Ref , VAR , and Bernard Gallagher decided was not a penalty was just wrong and I don't care how you interpreted it . | | | |
