I know at last one pundit (Owen Hargreaves) recently highlighted the lack of fitness amongst our premier league refs atm, but i was wondering whether the sheer amount of at least debatable, or just clearly incorrect, decisions this weekend may now bring this more into focus.

Yesterday's Arsenal Man Utd game was another example, having such a barrel of lard like Jon Moss in charge can be a handicap for both sides with his decision making something of a lottery, handicapped as he is by having to view the action through binoculars.

(that's not meant as a dig at Bielsa lol)

Former referee Dermot Gallagher thought Moss did have an important effect on the game, and perhaps a fitter referee might have been in a better position to see key events like Arsenal's controversial penalty decision.

Apparently referees are getting fitter and fitter all the time, jumping through even more hoops and leaping ever more hurdles in their never ending quest for true fitness and perfection.

It's just perhaps a little bit deceptive and not quite so clear to many when they see the likes of Jon Moss and Lee Mason stumbling around the field, they can't quite appreciate just how toned and muscle bound these superb athletes really are.

I blame it on my tv picture.

I think the refs should do a blindfolded test.
Walk out the ten yards for a free kick. Measure it.
The loser gets the sack.

It wasn't an attack on the street though was it, caught on camera like let's say Ben Stokes.
That could have, and maybe will do in the future, cause huge kick offs in that fixture.

And the gimps at jarg club's, you know the ones, will see that sort of sentence as nowt and may want their 5 mins of fame and notoriety.

I still say he was innocent, he was just brushing a wasp off Grealish’s chin, it’s a total witch-hunt.
