Above is a perfect example of NEW AGE refereeing in sports. The ref above happens to have an AmEx black card he is showing off because he is so well paid. He actually has a yellow and red one too... for the game of course.
In all seriousness though, I am tired of hearing managers complain about games or tired of having referees not have the St. Ones to card a Chelsea player at the bridge. David Luiz should have been sent off for maybe half a dozen tackles prior to the PK granted to Chelsea. But he wasn't. Instead he scored the leveler and remained on the pitch while Chris Smalling got called for one of the softest penalties I have seen. A robot referee would have had the guts... ahem... circuitry to card Luiz earlier in the game and ignore that BS foul on Smalling. Instead we have Chelsea with a HUGE comeback win (granted it is slightly funny that Blues fans think they still have a shot at the league) and Fergie criticizing a refereee likely resulting in some sort of FA punishment on the knight. How can you punish a knight?!?!?! He must be right. He has good judgment!
Regardless, this is getting tiresome. We either need some refs with some serious St. Ones (like maybe a lesser version of Howard Webb minus the United kit underneath his ref gear) or some cyborg refs. I am up for the latter. Robocop on the pitch would be pretty awesome.
