More Points Lost To Incompetent Officials

Two more points were dropped by the Blues yesterday as that big nosed comedian Mike Riley either missed or chose to ignore a nailed on penalty eight yards in front of him. His linesman also failed to spot either of two handball incidents in the build up to the Hammers 'goal'.
Add that to the linesman failing to spot that van Persie was at least a yard offside as he scored an equaliser in our last home league game against Arsenal and also giving Salomon Kalou offside (when he wasn't) when through on goal one on one with the keeper in the same game and that amounts to five points taken from Chelsea by incompetent, and make no mistake that's what they are, officials.
Liverpool, on the other hand, won a point in their home game against Hull by the referee, Alan Wiley, missing or turning a blind eye to incidents in the build up to both of their goals scored by ickle Stevie. He's obviously blind or got no bottle.
If the officials in only these three games had done their job properly, Chelsea would be five points clear at the top of the table by now.
Fans of all clubs like us pay a lot of ticket money to watch these games and it's about time these officials were forced to perform to a higher standard or be dropped permanently.
Where are the referee observers? Do they actually give their reports in? If so, they don't seem to be acted upon very strictly.
Riley in partcular gives consistently sub standard displays and something should be done about it.
The govering bodies should realise it's a high powered job and act accordingly.
The trouble is they are too protected. Nobody is allowed to criticise them and if managers give their opinion they are banned, fined, etc.
It's about time referees were treated in the same way for their disgaceful performances.
