Barclays Premier League 2014/15

Not sure how he got away with that deliberate handball. So far it's looking like he'll see red before half time

Lennon puts his arm across Young inexplicably given a free kick.
Shaw does the same thing to Lennon, gets booked.

The only one that was a pen was the one with Ospina. No idea how you have come to the conclusion they were stonewall when Bellerin barely even touches Oscar and Fabregas was already diving before the contact from Cazorla...

Bellerin clips Oscar, I'd say thats a pen.

The one on Fabregas, maybe not - definitely not a yellow for diving though.

Arsenal also should have had a penalty - fucking awful refereeing ruining a great game.

Ivanovic should have been booked early on too. Only reason I've not really complained its because it's been shite for both sides.

I know the standards normally bad, but is it just me or has officiating got worse this season?

Even in fairly innocuous performances I can remember referees being wildly inconsistent and making basic errors, I'm struggling to think of a refereeing performance that was decent, let alone good regardless of the team.

The best we seem to be able to hope for is the referee to be so completely scattergun that his decisions even themselves out.
