More controversial decisions

Simon Hooper makes yet another controversial decision











After a weekend full of chaos in the premier league, there has yet been another decision by referee, Simon Hooper that has created a very hostile atmosphere towards him. In the dying moments of a thrilling game in what Manchester City had just conceded late on to make the game level.



In the 94th minute after an end to end game Erling Haaland was fouled, however the referee Simon Hooper gave the advantage, a second later Haaland clips a vital pass through to jack Grealish who is through on goal for Simon Hooper just to change his mind and pull it back for the foul. Fans and Pundits have discussed this decision hundreds of times, and no one can seem to find the reasoning for the decision.









This just adds to the controversy surrounding the officials this season. Fans believe that officials should not be getting decisions that vital in such big moments wrongs constantly on the highest stage of football. Simon Hooper, the referee in discussion, was the referee in the game in the most controversial premier league game of all time in which he gave an offside for a goal that should of clearly been allowed.








Football fans want answers for how this keeps being swept under the rug because it seems to be ruining the biggest games that should be the biggest expeditions for football fans to see as a display around the world for the premier league. There needs to be some sort of consistency with decisions and the rules. A few ideas that could be put forward for a resolution, is that referees should wear Microphones, so they can tell the audience the reasoning for their decisions as they go on instead of getting explanations days after.


No doubt the controversial decisions will carry on during the rest of the season, so stay updated here.
