World Cup 2018: No British referee chosen for tournament

Says it all really, well, I think it says they are either bad or bent first time since 1938 that no British refs at World Cup.

Doubt it. Incompetents bring incompetents to book? Nah. They'll just order another case of whine.

I'm really surprised Anthony Taylor didn't get the gig, with his similarities to Clattenberg.

And he could have refereed England, because although he is English he is actually a life-long supporter of Zimbabwe, man and boy ;)

Rightly so as the standard of refereeing is appalling

Spot on...our refs are fuckign cheats, and it will 100% come out one day, just to how fuckign how fuckign bent some of them are.

Im glad the FA have been embarrassed not to have any refs at this WC......brilliant.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

Whatever we think of the quality of our referees; and I am very much in the camp that they are not good enough/corrupt, the referees from elsewhere will be worse. Not being funny but a referee from an African country or Eastern Europe or Central America is hardly officiating in a decent league and as such isn't used to big games which have global exposure.

Of course, FIFA being cretins aren't really bothered about the standard of refereeing or indeed the football or the fairness of the competition. They are simply concerned with generating as much media exposure and money as possible and lining their capacious pockets.

Isn't this because Twatenburg jumped ship mid season and it was too late to add a replacement as all the training courses (do they not already know what they're doing?) had been?
