Martin Atkinson - Spurs v Liverpool

Red Kent · November 29, 2010

I'm still fuming at his performance yesterday. He got so many decisions wrong, including ones against us. He really does seem to have a problem with us.

Take at look at the fouls, Spurs committed only 6 compared to our 16, I find this unbelievable in today's football that a team can go through 90 minutes committing only 6 FOULS !!!

I cannot believe he never booked Hutton for that dive.

He booked the whole of our defence ( something I cannot remember happening before), which was why Modric was allowed the freedom to glide passed Johnson and Carra as they had already been previous booked.

I also cannot believe he never awarded Spurs a pen for the challenge on Crouch by Cons***sky.

I decided to look back at his previous games with us.

18 Prem games - Won 7, Drew 6, Lost 5.

However it's the cautions that stand out, Only Webb and Dowd from the current crop of refs have cautioned more of our players than Atkinson. Webb (41), Dowd (36) Atkinson (35), but both Webb and Dowd have been in charge of quite a few more games than him.

The standard of refereeing in The Prem has declined over the years and Atkinson has to be one if not the worst we could personally have in charge of our games, and I seriously dread the next time we have him.

Someone at the club should have the balls to take a fine and pull this c*** up in public.
