Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has said the standard of refereeing in the Premier League 바카라hasn바카라t been good enough바카라 this season. (More Football News)
Kompany said he spoke to referee Darren England after Saturday바카라s match to apologise for his choice of words at the time, and he has also had a number of discussions with referees바카라 chief Howard Webb, but on Monday he was clear he felt standards have dropped this term.
바카라I바카라ll keep saying what I think,바카라 Kompany said. 바카라I바카라m not shying away from it and I바카라ve said it to the referees themselves, the officials, refereeing hasn바카라t been good enough this season.
바카라And I have said that in, I think, a constructive way, understanding as well the fact it바카라s not easy for them. The scrutiny is massive, the pressure is bigger than it바카라s ever been on the officials.
바카라I think the addition of VAR and more opinions and more officials doesn바카라t make it easy for them to do their jobs.바카라
Kompany, who had 11 seasons as a player for Manchester City, said he had always regarded English refereeing as the best in the world, but this season바카라s experience has raised questions.
바카라I felt common sense was always trying to be applied,바카라 he added. 바카라You make a mistake and we all have a laugh about it and usually the traditional view is that it all evens itself out over the course of a season.
바카라This year, I haven바카라t felt like this. Where we are in the league doesn바카라t really matter for me, it바카라s not in that conversation.
바카라I바카라m not afraid to say it. I saw the interview of my colleague, (Sheffield United manager) Chris Wilder, that I바카라m fond of and that I really respect, and he said he바카라s a hard-working Yorkshireman, he doesn바카라t want to be fined anymore.
바카라I haven바카라t got any issues with being fined. I just want it to be right. It바카라s not something I say in a vindictive way, you can see I바카라m not even as angry anymore. We바카라ve just got to get it right and at this moment in time, it바카라s fallen short.바카라
Despite playing more than half of Saturday바카라s match a man down at Stamford Bridge, Burnley twice came from behind to earn a point, and might even have won it late on.
Having taken five points from their last three games, Burnley go into Tuesday바카라s match against Wolves with renewed hope they could yet pull off a great escape, sitting four points from safety with eight games to go.
바카라All we바카라re asking is to have an opportunity,바카라 Kompany said. 바카라If between now and the end of the season, we have just one opportunity, that바카라s enough for us. It바카라s trying to bring ourselves into a position where we give ourselves a chance바카라
바카라It바카라s difficult to go through the season we바카라ve gone through and at the end to still be a team, to still be a team as players, as a staff. But I think that바카라s who we are.
바카라Whatever happens in the next eight games, whether we win all eight of them or lose all eight of them, that is not going to change and that바카라s going to be the foundation of next season as well.바카라
