DO YOU AGREE?? English Premier League Referees Are Terrible This Season

The standard of refereeing in the Premier League this season “hasn’t been good enough”, says Burnley manager Vincent Kompany.

Kompany was shown a red card by referee Darren England during the 2-2 draw at Chelsea on Saturday for protesting against a penalty decision which led to defender Lorenz Assignon being sent off.

Six Burnley players have been sent off in 30 games this season, the most of any Premier League team.

Kompany said he is “not shying away” from giving feedback to officials and does not have “any issues with being fined”.

He said:

“I’ve said it to the referees themselves – refereeing hasn’t been good enough this season.

“And I have said that in a constructive way, understanding as well the fact it’s not easy for them.

“The scrutiny is massive. The pressure is bigger than it’s ever been on the officials.

“The addition of VAR and more opinions and more officials doesn’t make it easy for them to do their jobs.”

“You make a mistake and we all have a laugh about it and usually the traditional view is that it all evens itself out over the course of a season,” he said.

“This year I haven’t felt like this. Where we are in the league doesn’t really matter. I just want it to be right.”
