 Swans focus : Anthony Backhouse : Is he fit to referee ? 1st Mar 2026 10:50When we see certain officials tied to Swansea City games it’s only fair we look back on their performances when officiating other Swansea City fixtures. Anthony Backhouse is one of those who always fills us with dread. His game management is often flawed and on far too many occasions he has determined the outcome of Swansea football matches.  1
A history of incompetence, click above.

The worst thing is, the amount of poor referees we have had and to be fair other teams as well, means I have gotten used to incompetence across the board and when watching it never surprises me anymore. Doesn't make it right, but you have to start questioning why it's happening. | | | |

We’ve always stuck our heads above the parapet in all manner of Swans matters. Some people don't like it, others will have their consciousness raised on what we report as feedback from very well established journalists (not local cut and paste efforts) of some repute.
That’s why this is reported this morning 👍
And will no doubt hit ten thousand views before the end of the day. |  |

Many are incompetent
Some are to both sides
We don’t have much luck though
It doesn’t help we have two head workers in Franco and Ronald
Refs are wise to this but overlook real offences | |

You’ve provided the evidence ,so why doesn’t the club now present it to the FA and The Referees board and ask for answers
It’s getting to the point now where it looks more than biased | | | |

At least one of those penalty shouts should have been given the shirt pull being the clearest for me. |  | | |

When was the last time we actually got awarded a penalty? I can't remember. | | | |

They could do it with far clearer analysis, but can they be bothered ? | |

Do we have a designated penalty taker
It would have to be VIP
I watched recently our cup win v Bradford and how our designated pen taker, de Guzman, stopped Dyer from a historic hat trick at Wembley

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
