There have been a few contentious decisions this weekend by referees that have caused some controversy, one of them was the decision to award Manchester United a penalty after Ronaldo went down in the penalty area.
Today the Dail Mail are reporting that referee Rob Styles will apologise to Bolton, but is he right to do so?

There has been much made of respecting referees but referees need to earn respect, just like everybody does.
There have been some ridiculous decisions by referees this weekend and I definetly think that the Manchester United penalty was one of them so I think it is right for the referee to apologise but I also think that referees should come out after the match and explain their decisions just like managers have to come out.
Cahill was sent off against Liverpool, personally I think that the challenge was worthy of a yellow card, not a red but Cahill walked away and the referee blew his whistle three times, by the time Cahill decided to listen to the ref, he had had enough and sent Cahill off.
If the referee came out and told the press and fans why he sent Cahill off then everyone would know where they stand and why he was sent off.

The Dail Mail say:

Bolton are set to receive an apology from referee Rob Styles for the astonishing penalty mistake he made at Old Trafford.
The official has asked his superiors at his governing body, the PGMOL, to pass on his regret at awarding Manchester United a spot-kick when Cristiano Ronaldo was clearly tackled fairly by Jlloyd Samuel on Saturday.
It is the second time in just over a year that Styles has had to apologise for a penalty error after pointing to the spot at Anfield in August last season when Liverpool full back Steve Finnan collided with Chelsea’s Florent Malouda.

What do you think, should refs come out and talk to the press and is it right that Rob Styles apologises?
