Ref watch

[MJM]

Good news, I was shitting myself in case we got Keith Stroud, he’s reffed Bournemouth 12 times and they’ve never lost one of them.

Except last night.

More importantly how do you pronounce his name? Strowd or Strood? Keith Waugh. Woff or war? I was a Woff man.

Except last night.

Bet he’d read the same article that I did….

Tends not to give a great deal of anything for either team, his stats seem to show that he likes to let the game flow.

Only taken charge of us once this season, for the win at Oakwell

 

[MobileBlade]

And then we have the delightful Keith Stroud on Monday.

Its an important game that one in that division. Although unusual for a select 2 official to be in that league when so many games over the weekend.

Wonder which set of fans will be singing "you're not fit to referee" Bristol City fans hate him just as much as we do,

 

[Rudders]

He must live down that region as I recall he disgraced himself in the Bristol rovers game a few years ago. My memory isn't great but I think he disallowed a clear and fair goal and a stonewall penalty. In summary he's a cheat at best.

He was born in Bournemouth,is listed as living in North Hayling,so he could support any of those southern softie teams along the coast.......i might add are all better placed than us except for Portsmouth.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Here he is folks the man for Friday nite......no i dont mean Cuntstram........its Peter Bankes,his team includes the likes of Mainwaring and Hyde.

You know why he is pointing at Cuntstram dont you ?

 

[Gaini Blade]

Is it because Lundstrum pointed first?

That goes down as the best "wit" of the season...im still giggling.

 

[Bladesman]

Bowyer saying he has had over 10 letters apology at Birmingham from refs over the course of the season. If you can believe him or not considering the situation he is in at Birmingham.

I know Hecky has been calling out some refs post match recently. Has the standard of refereeing dropped dramatically? is VAR or a version of VAR needed in the EFL?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Josh Smith is the Ref for the Fulham game,same ref that did the game against Nottingham Forest,he was quite a twat in that game.

 

[billyblademan]

Referee/Officials – Another less than impressive performance. The penalty was maybe right but he gave some odd decisions and for a spell it seemed like players could clout each other and then he was being fussy. Saw some say 5 minutes was a lot of stoppage time but Foderingham time wasted twice for me (goal kick and injury – if it was one) and there were also 6 subs. It was fair enough. Still, he was just a very strange ref who seemed to not have any consistency in terms of the level of contact. A few times players went down and he gave free kicks for nothing and then wild tackles were let go – for both teams.

This was Deadbat ’s verdict. Quite tame actually for you Deaders

 

[MobileBlade]

Wednesday have got the delightful Matthew Donohue for their first leg at Sunderland.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

First Leg its Adolf Marriner.


Second Leg its, Tik Tok Michael Oliver.

 

[ChrisBlade]

Ooops. We have lost.

Michael Oliver is the Prem's "Fixer", brought in to oversee a pre-determined outcome down to a T. I suspect that the "preferred outcome" he is sent to ensure is an overall progression of Forest to the final. Tough ask this.

Sorry, but that’s an unfair attack on a decent ref.

 

[ChrisBlade]

Fingers crossed you are right. Let's revisit on Wednesday. Personally, I have not often seen him ref our games and come away thinking he's either a decent human being or a good/unbiased referee. But each to their own.

I do agree, though, that my wording may be a bit deliberately snide or over the top. He is far from alone in leaving an overall impression of Prem refs making it up as they go along, in essence always either favouring the top teams or, at the very least, the physically more frail and "cute" teams that are well versed in playing on the referee's ego and weaknesses.

He has refereed us 5 times in the last four seasons, all in the Premier League.

2020/21
United 0-1 City
United 2-3 Man U

2019/20
United 1-0 West Ham (last minute West Ham equaliser correctly ruled out for handball)
Villa 0-0 United (Hawkeye game)
Leicester 2-0 United

He was also the referee for the 2011 FA Youth Cup final against Man United.

Aside from the obvious error at Villa I'm not sure what he's ever done to deserve your opinion of him?

Forgetting to switch his watch on was quite a big blunder!

He also did the game against the Pigs a few years ago when they came from 2-0 down in the second half.
