Rejected petition Hold Premier league referees accountable for their mistakes.

Give referees yellow cards or red cards for every time they make mistakes during premier league matches.

More details

The quality of referees has hit a new low. Not one English referee was selected for the last World Cup which speaks volumes of their standing in the eyes of the world and is quite honestly a national embarrassment. I never like to blame referees but they are obviously not being supported in their roles which VAR has helped to highlight. Please do something and start a national conversation!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The standards to which Premier League referees are held, and how their performance is measured, are matters for the Premier League, the Referees' Association, and individual referees, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
