Today's ref

[Edgar Allan Poo]

I didn't like him.

 

[Bladesman]

Can't even be fucked to watch the highlights. If they were both "dives" why only book Campbell.

Also, another South Stand linesman that couldn't find his arse with both hands.

Campbell’s was certainly not a dive.

 

[Bladesman]

Neither of them need to go down as they are through on goal.

How much do they want paying these refs? can the American's not afford the fee anymore? PGMOL asking for more money or something?

Just another pathetic excuse for a ref who couldn't hide his bias.How many refs is that in a row

 

[Champagneblade]

It’s just a joke now.

Remember the season Bournemouth went back up and the refs were basically their 12th man?

We’re the opposite. We have to play each game knowing any marginal decision will go the other way.

 

[Mattblade68]

New rule , once the ball is put on the corner spot , play starts. The first tug or push will then be a free kick or a penalty, please

 

[Hanauer]

Has the pass back to goalkeeper rule been scrapped?

 

[CrookesBlade]

Bottled the Seriki one and couldn’t get his card out fast enough to book Campbell for diving.

I don’t like moaning about refs but we’ve had absolutely no luck with them this season.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Bent.

Second tier pod calling Seriki’s a dive when you can clearly see him being pulled back.

Seems so.

You really think that slight touch makes him go down like that? He's built like a brickshithouse.
He's gone down far too easy

He’s being pulled off balance, he still gets to the ball otherwise.

While we re on about keepers what the hell is going on with them just deciding to sit down anywhere on the pitch when there is no one near them. This surely has to be stopped. I know we do it but it’s getting ridiculous when on Sunday the pig 50,000th emergency keeper sat down almost on half way line and last night Coventry’s rather animated keeper did the same and just sat down. Nothing wrong with him. I think a you have to come off the pitch for length of time down or bringing on the sub keeper while they get treatment would be enough to stop this happening every game. Let’s face it keeper injuries are rare and usually happen from a set piece when area crowded not when no one near them at all.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Cov fans must've been laughing all the way home, thinking how on earth did we get away with that. Ref was probably driving the coach!

 

[CrookesBlade]

If it was a PL game the ref gives the pen it wouldn’t get overturned on VAR.

I listened to that Second Tier pod once and it was the biggest load of shite I’ve ever heard.

Not seen Campbell's yet, but Femi shouldn't be going down like that. Got loads of space to find a cross and has beaten his man.

 

[CPB]

Has the pass back to goalkeeper rule been scrapped?

Yeah I noticed that... Absolutely nothing noticed.

Shouldn't that have resulted in an indirect freekick?

 

[Blade56]

His first yellow looked to before grabbing Tanganga by the throat from where I’m sat, Shirley that’s a straight red.

Burrows has a free kick given against him second half for putting his arm around cov players waist , ref would not have given that if in box maybe. Where in rules does it say that fouls in box have higher bar to give them?

The first pull starts here and continues for a few seconds. It is 100% a penalty, there isn't anything called a "soft penalty" he pulls him back in the penalty area, the question is do you give that on half way as a free kick... Yes so... Yes it's a penalty. Not sure on the positioning of the referee as I can't remember but the assistant should be doing his job in assisting the referee, he would have had a clear angle on that.

 

[chesblade]

1st time I saw ref and co getting aggro in the carpark after game

We were fuming he missed 3 blatant yellow cards.

Agree, but if he doesn't go down, you get fans, pundits, experts saying 'he should be clever and go down'

 

[HighfieldBlade]

My heart bleeds for you.

 

[Grey Blade]

I know the defender was very close to the keeper but there's no way that wasn't a pass back - it isn't as though the ball deflected off the defender - it was clearly passed back

Ref bottled it basically if he saw it as defender was on a yellow. There was a clear pull whether that is enough to make Seriki go down is another matter. If ref didn't see it no way is the assistant going to be brave enough to make that call, they generally only look for throw ins and off sides these days.

Second tier is horrid

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

What I don’t get about the Seriki one is if it’s not a penalty then it’s a dive and a yellow. The only get out is incidental contact and there’s no way it’s that.
For the record I’ve said for a while young Femi goes down too easily and no doubt refs know this too.
