Apparently another world class performance today.
Hes a shit ref but regarding these points:
1. Linesmans decision - not olivers.
2. Deeneys was a tackle from behind, unnecessary, i understand why he gave it a red.
3. Hoggs 2nd yellow was harsh, i agree but then it was a foul and he was a bit late. Refs are looking for an excuse to even the numbers and hogg gave him one.
4. Definite pen for depoitre

Most certainly not a fan of his......

TBH it’s the inconsistency of all the refs from game to game which is the most frustrating thing.

If we look back at the last 2 weekends.....

Compare the Everton penalty last week to the Rose push on Mangala. Liverpool fans have a right to feel annaoyed

Herrera dive compared to Jesus.....

Herrera dive to De bryune pen yesterday.

Kane and alli tackles yesterday to Pogba vs Arsenal......

That’s just a few examples from the last few weeks that impacted the outcome of big games......Some you win some you loose or that’s how it should be you just don’t know if your coming or going from one week to the next.....

That said being a rugby fan to (again the refs decisions often impair on the result) I think the football culture generally blames the refs or a dodgy decision one way or the other to deflect attention from a poor result or performance.

This explains a lot. If he has even 50% of Alan Shearers apparent hatred of United then his regular decisions against us become more understandable.
Alan Shearer doesnt hate United, Alan Shearer was all but a United player but for Jack Walker.

What Alan Shearer is, is a fecking liar as he wont say it publically, but everyone else who was dealing with the potential transfer at the time has.

I’m guessing you’ve you’ve not seen any of his comments on Match of the day regarding United over the years?

Bottles another early decision. Expect him to make a ridiculous call late in the game so he can be the centre of attention.

I honestly don’t know why but this is one of few officials who constantly creates controversy whenever he’s involved.

the "challenge" from Adam on Morgan was a minimum yellow, though had he injured him I would let him off, challenge on Nacho I thought was a good tackle until I saw the replay so he would have needed help from Assistant there

Right in front of him too, terrible referee. Charlie Adam being a thug as usual.

He's been so far out of his depth since he began in the premier league. It's astonishing.

The fact that on a weekend in which Chelsea are playing United and city are playing Arsenal this guy is doing Stoke vs Leicester is I think a clear sign that he has now fallen back in the Ref rankings. Till last season he would definitely have been doing one of the big games

He's got the most punchable face in the whole of universe.

Looking over my shoulder.
And there City kicks at the Chelsea player's feet stopping a counter attack; they double up on the players and Oliver pulls the game back. It's exactly why I created the thread about refereeing against high pressing teams - they stop so many counter attacks with small fouls, and it's incredibly cynical.

Typical Micheal Oliver game, starts the game off calling soft fouls, then let's obvious yellows go to 'make the game flow'. Willian and Hazard taken out for clear yellow card offences and nothing done. Zinchenko foul was a borderline red as well.

No yellow cards in the Merseyside derby today and constantly played the peacekeeper and avoided controversy.

Now watch him send Pogba off for farting in the FA Cup semi he will inevitably get given.

I think he can scrap Italy from his countries to visit.

Buffon did a Di Maria. At least the cnut has shown some consistency.

Bit soft but not the worst call I've seen.

He still has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen.
