Complaining about refs
Isn’t it about time managers are allowed to openly complain about refs without fear of punishment. I cannot think of any other job where some idiots wrong decisions could cost a managers job in the long run if to many results go the wrong way or even effect promotion and relegation due to points dropped. Nobody gets to watch all the match’s every week so when a ref is being particularly bad over a few games it’s not being noticed enough by every body, it’s ok putting a report into the FA but most are probably swept under the carpet until some really stupid incident happens that is constantly aired on tv. It’s ludicrous that everyone can talk about officials except those in the game, unless there is more openness the standard will never improve. Last night was another reason for VAR in the championship I know not everyone will agree on the last point but that’s the sort of decision it was designed for.
Does anybody know how to start a petition to the FA 🤔

This week was a first - we complained BEFORE the game!
It's like night and day considering Cooper and Potter and the way they approach refs.
Potter used to be a right poodle. Remember him being interviewed post man city when they were given those two offside goals - even then he refused to criticise the ref - I remember it got to the point where the pundits were basically indicating to him that he needs to show a bit of backbone.
He'd learnt to be to polished like a lot of new managers which is why all the press interviews are boring, Cooper is the the opposite, not so many buzz words and itching to speak his mind, are the club using covid as a way to sensor his interview's these days. 😎
Yes I noticed how big brother at Swans HQ cut out any controversial bits before uploading to the website and youtube.
The more upset Cooper becomes the more they cut. I think the Sheffield Wed interview was cut to 3 minutes lol
