SO, yet another refereeing performance that has attracted a negative press, and yet again, it’s Stuart Atwell in the firing line. After a woeful display at the Wigan v West Ham game, which saw both Carlton Cole and Lee Cattermole dismissed, Steve Bruce claimed : “Mr Atwell at the moment is not quite ready to step up to the plate too often, with those type of decisions.”
All too often, managers are quick to point the finger of blame at the referee when points are dropped, rather than look at their own team’s failings. However, all we ask for is consistency. When a player performs badly, he is dropped; when a manager performs badly, he is sacked; when a referee performs badly, well, what exactly?
