Ira Gaines Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 They bring the pressure on themselves because they're fucking shite. Absolutely shite. We give them grief for good performance too. Hence Collum getting laughed at for a good performance last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 This. Most fans would just let the refs get on with it if they didn't continually get basic decisions wrong. We've seen plenty of evidence to suggest that the refereeing in other countries is just the same. We know Spain put the same pressure on their refs I suppose.

We? Who are you speaking for here? I've never seen someone slate a Ref for a good performance, I doubt you have either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I will say Collum does not deal with pressure well, and might not be cut out for big domestic games. But I wouldn't say he's a bad ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you weren't in the thread for the last game he refereed then. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I'm not much of a gambler but I put 50p on Belgium to win 3-0, Iceland to win 1-0 and Portugal and Austria to draw 1-1. Stood to win £440 if all results went my way, but decided to cash out at half time for £9. Pretty pleased as I don't often gamble so getting enough money to buy a crate of beer suits me fine. Now found myself just wanting any goal now though so that this game doesn't finish 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Collum is a dreadful ref. He was downgraded from referreeing Premiership games for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbitterandgrumpy Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Some support from Hungary, wow! Why does Savage speak in instalments like he's reading off a teleprinter? Drama. As in Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of even putting the third game on if you've shat yourself during the second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 We? Who are you speaking for here? I've never seen someone slate a Ref for a good performance, I doubt you have either. I'm not sure we recognise good performances when we are watching our own teams, naturally we are a wee bit biased and think clear fouls are missed etc when maybe they weren't that clear etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a fair amount of pressure refereeing at a tournament like this. I found quite an interesting blog on refereeing (if you like that kind of thing!). They rated his performance quite highly http://footballrefereeing.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/refereeing-analyses-for-matches-13-15.html?m=1#.V2WCy_R4XCQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 A few of the pitches have been a disgrace this tournament. C'mon Iceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be fun to try and predict three results. Then I was faced with the chance of actually having £9 in my back pocket that I didn't have this morning.

Mr Bairn Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 That is bonkers giving up the chance of winning £440 for £9. That's like saying not buying a lottery ticket is "bonkers" (giving up the chance to win millions of pounds for £1.50) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
