Consistently brick at any games that I've watched him in. I usually defend referees, but Christopher Foy should definitely quit his day job.
 
Chris Foy ended our 11 game unbeaten run. If it weren't for him that run may have continued for much longer!

He should team up with the linesman form the Chelsea game today.
Absolutely robbed Wigan.

Disgraceful how they missed that! Plus their 2nd goal rebounded off the post directly onto Mata, then into the net. They scored a similar goal against Villa last week. They took a corner, somebody won a header at the near post, it hit Ivanovic and went in.

Like to know when we are going to get a dodgy goal that is clearly 2 yards offside, next Sunday at Wembley would be a nice start.

Next week at Wembley in the 5th minute of injury time please.

We've got Atkinson haven't we? He's actually decent tbf
 
As I've said all along, he encourages a physical approach. Somewhere along the line realises things are heading out of control and everything gets very random.
 
Is football corrupt?

After watching the latest howler from the officials at Old Trafford today, do the refs and linesmen genuinely just cave under the pressure at big teams grounds, or are they bent?
 
Yeah I think we all joke about brown envelopes etc but I do seriously think they are fudgein incompetent.

If I was incompetent at my job as they are I would have been fired years ago.
 
oh yeah also I would need to see two things changed

1) Referees MUST be interviewed after games. The same as Managers HAVE to give an interview so should a Referee
2) Punishments given the same way punishments are given for red card offenses and accumulation of yellow cards. By that I mean bricky penalties given should result in a two or three match ban and an accumulation of bricky games should result in one or two game bans.

Referees MUST be held accountable. Pay em more rather than the 50k a year and actually hold them more accountable.
 
What makes is laugh is the fact that Howard Webb has already been chosen as our ref for the Euros. What if he has a poor run of form until the end of the season? Do the FA not make these decisions based on current form? Or is it all down to reputation?
 
Football IS corrupt, in some places.Take Italy for example, where a former Bari defender, Andrea Masiello, has been arrested after confessing to match-fixing. And this after the whole Calciopoli farce and its subsequent 'clean-up'. Then take Eastern Europe, a hot-bed of fixed matches and fixed titles. Then take FIFA itself, with all its crooked delegates getting elected to thirty year terms without the slightest hint of opposition and siphoning off World Cup money into their own accounts.

So yeah, football itself is corrupt. But I don't think the English game is. I think here, the authorities aren't bent, just incompetent to a preposterously big degree.

I don't know about specific officials or events, and the majority of poor decisions are probably genuine honest mistakes, but I think anyone who thinks there isn't corruption in football is deluded. There is a lot of money involved and the stakes for success are very high. When those two combine then corruption is practically inevitable.
