Why do people still listen to Jeff Winter? He's an absolute joke. I know I often have a go at Graham Poll for his bland and generally pretty rubbish column, but Winter is just a complete buffoon. He was a shit ref and an even shitter "pundit," if that's what he actually is... In today's Telegraph he claims that Terry's challenge on Valencia was probably a penalty but:
there is no way that the officials could have spotted the infringement in the heat of battle with the naked eye. It was only after the incident in the television studios that the foul became apparent.as an ex-referee he's probably going to be on their side, but, really? I remember jumping up shouting penalty and fully expecting one to be given. The linesman was on the right to see it close up, it was a penalty. He also ruins his point by elsewhere in the same article claiming that referees are likely to be more biased against us given Sir Alex's criticisms of referees. He wants us to believe that refs are unbiased and that "mistakes" are made with clear conscience, yet he also tells us that we'll get less decisions because of Sir Alex:
"I'm not a psychologist so I don't know how that has affected referees' performances in the past or what impact it will have in the future when it comes to debatable decisions. But it is fair to say that it can't be a healthy situation when he gives referees so much stick and human nature is bound to be a factor so his criticism could rebound on him."
