Premier League referee Kevin Friend has been demoted to the EFL over a ‘ridiculous’ decision which came in Liverpool’s win vs Crystal Palace.
Friend won’t be on duty for the next round of top flight fixtures after his contentious display during the game which saw the Eagles lose 3-1 at Selhurst Park.
The match ended in controversy — to the frustration of home supporters and some neutrals — not just for Friend’s display throughout the game but also when the 50 year old awarded Liverpool a penalty in the dying moments, after Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita collided with Diogo Jota.
Then in his first game as ‘punishment’
Bonkers. |  |

If you get dropped, you should be dropped completely, not passed down to the championship. Livelihoods are at stake in the championship as well, we should not have to put up with referee failures as we constantly do. |  | | |

That is dead right and it should be obvious to the people who make these decisions. Why is it fair on the EFL to send them a ref as his punishment, what message is that sending us outside the EPL, that we're only fit for rubbish refs? |  |

That’s another 3 points dropped before a ball is kicked. | | | |

It's not easy being a ref but we've had some real Lulus this season. EVERY game decisions against have been made that defy belief. The Luton ref's display was typical he could not wait to book Piroe when he could quite comfortably played on (and was it a clear dive?) | | | |

He could be incompetent for both sides or even give us the benefit of his incomptence | |

He could be, but referee incompetency doesn't usually go in our favour, how many penalties have we had this season alone, come to think of it, how many have Cardiff had ?
Coincidence ? |  |

The awarding of that penalty to Liverpool beggared belief. I know that we would never have got a decision like that. We don’t get stonewallers these days! |  |

We don't get any, not this season and neither have Cardiff, the only 2 teams in ths division not to get any penalties, maybe in all 4 divisions, I'm not sure about the latter though. | |

Teams that haven't been awarded a penalty this season, from what I can see.
Premiere League = Burnley
Championship = Swan and Cardiff
League 1 = None
League 2 = Oldham and Stevenage. | |

I give my opinion on todays Refs a few weeks ago and I don't think I was that far off the mark in calling most of them career Refs, never played the game, no passion for the game, may not even like the game [unlikely that though] but look upon it as a great career move with excellent rewards and benefits. |  |
