Referee

Guys, we didn't lose because of the referee.......... we gave this game away ourselves...

We were poor for both of their goals, but we did enough to get a point from that.

The ref had a very bad first half, but not disastrous, however it was clear that he had it in for us all 2nd half. The conspiracist in me thinks that Wilder got his back up at HT.

He then went on to make a series of shocking decisions in Southampton's favour, with the disallowed goal being the crowing insult. Then just when you think he can't get any worse, he counts 8 yards in front of all the players (under duress it has to be said) and still refused to make their players move back. He also sold us short by at least 2 minutes, due to the time taken to replace the corner flag.

Shocking
 

Cannon wrestling keeper. Was soft but potentially right.

Not taking away from fact that ref was a 🔔 end with serious Main Character Energy.
You sneeze in the general direction of a keeper and it’s a foul these days.
In this case it looked to me like he was being impeded by his own defender.
 
The foul on Ogbene was a stonewall red. It was just outside the box I think, but it was a blatant push, denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity and absolutely no attempt to play the ball so would have been red even if inside.

A Soton player could have punched one of our players and I doubt that ref would have got a card out.
 
He is supposedly being fast tracked to premier league. He will do well there with the ego and the var to help him.

Game wise Southampton scored two good goals, tyrese should have scored second half, we looked better with two up top, but a good referee isn't noticed in the game and he was far too noticable. The decisions were odd from a blades persoective and also unnecessary but damaged a game of football regardless of the result , and made the game about a referee.
 
I think he was bad to both sides, not just us.

Longer the game went on the more the confidence seemed to trickle out of him, then the bad calls became more regular.

I rarely say bad things about refs, but that really was a bad performance.
