I knew there were certain relationships that existed between referees and players, referees and coaches and referees and owners that influence the point spreads in games.
People talk about the speed of the English game, but in Italy, referees blow their whistles very often, so you cannot build up speed. In England, referees wave play on, and so it becomes faster.
No, we discuss it as fans. When we see the game, we talk about what we thought was a call or a foul or no foul. We just have to deal with that in the game. There's gonna be plenty more of those. Referees are humans, so it's not a problem.
When I go into games as a forward, my job is really clear, and I just have to execute. But as a midfielder, you get to sort of enjoy the game more, and you get to feel the game and dictate the play.

Sometimes you wonder, do referees understand the game of football?
It's a game of integrity. There's no referees out there. We all respect each other.
I do my job. I don't get into trouble. I just want to play the game.
The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit.
I don't like to criticise referees, because I believe it is a very complicated job.
On every job you do, you've got to raise your game. My ambition is to just get better and better every job you do - you should never stop trying to get better.
