West Brom boss Hodgson: Premier League refs best in world

West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson rates Premier League refs the best in the world.

Hodgson said referees are not being helped by having every decision scrutinised '100 times' in what he described as 'trial by television.'

Hodgson said: "I think the referee standard is probably the best in Europe. We've got no complaints at all.

"Our games have been refereed very well. I never go into games worrying about the refereeing. I only concern myself with the team's performance.

"Of course, the ref will make a mistake now and again, especially when you judge the situation 100 times with slo-mo cameras."
