Another incompetent ref

[1973Blade]

How did four of our players get booked and none of theirs? Even when Luke Berry cheated and handled the ball bear the end the ref turned a blind eye. Very poor.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Was going to post same. Why was McBurnie booked anyway? He didn't jump in crowd or remove his shirt?

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

He’s got a scary face

 

[Bladesman]

Worst ref so far this season. Surprised he didn't give them a penalty just for a laugh.

 

[Frank the tank]

Absolutely brutal defending by them.
I've not seen the like since the 80's and yet not one booking

Few really nasty ones including leaving the foot in late and making a back.for mcburnie

Hope they go.back.down.to their level

I like a ref that let's the play flow, that performance though was ridiculous

Brutal play all round from them, ref just let them get away with it

There is letting the game flow but them just leaving their foot in late was beyond a joke. Even if he lets play go on he should go back to book them.

 

[Gavlar]

Yeh he should have booked several of theirs. Baldock should not have been booked for a shoulder to shoulder either.

 

[shrubbery]

The ref was shocking and allowed some of the most physical ‘football’ that I’ve seen in a while. Can’t believe they didn’t pick up one booking. Our bookings were all for petulant stupid shit which makes it even more annoying.

Not as ridiculous as our central defence tonight, shit.

 

[1973Blade]

I don't know how in our last two games we've picked up more bookings than the opposition.

 

[Rodley]

Ndiaye kicked in the head and then so was Doyle. No cards given.

Luton should have named him on their teamsheet.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Don't forget the studs up slide tackle on the back of Illy's head as he was lying on the floor.

Agree completely. Said to our lass I’ve not seen this much needle and fouls since the 80’s! Was good to watch but at the same time not as the ref was wank and lost control many times
Good point though against a team that ain’t mugs

 

[Bladesman]

Yep then once they got a few of our lads booked they were looking to try and get them sent off.

 

[S64 Blade]

We got battered all over and whenever any of our players have some back, they were the ones who got booked.

 

[Kona]

Was just about to post the same question.

The lad Berry should have had two yellows in the last 10 mins, but nothing given. Not saying the result should’ve been different, but I genuinely don’t understand why they didn’t get any cards

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Abysmal performance from the ref. Berry alone should have been off for deliberate handball and booting Doyle in the chest. Ndiaye one was nasty but they were constantly leaving the boot in and going in late. As soon as a side like that suss a ref isn’t going to curb it, they up it 5 fold. Ugly football from a dirty side completely facilitated by an incompetent ref.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Yeh he should have booked several of theirs. Baldock should not have been booked for a shoulder to shoulder either.

Not sure that was even a foul, in the olden days, that was a shoulder charge.

 

[Chief14]

Nathan Jones not happy with red, says we committed 2 fouls in the lead up to our goal. He’s not happy! He’s having a laugh with some of there tackles

 

[Toronto Blade]

Webb is not a ref he had no control he just played the homer. If that game was played with a ref the result could have been different. I am just happy that even with his non protection of players 11 players came out of the game.
Webb needs to watch that back and have a talk with himself ,he looked like a deer in the headlights and totally incompetent. I would love to know what his linos thought of his performance.

 

[robbiez666]

I mean, the ref let too much go but then the bookings were fair, weren't they?

Ndiaye doesn't move back 10 metres and just stands there
McAtee drags his man back after he'd gone past him
Baldock booked for a blatant professional pullback
The only one you can argue was McBurnie but he did rather encourage our fans to come on the pitch. Difficult as it's such a tight pitch but I wasn't surprised.

 

[loyalblade95]

TBF to ref he could have given Mcatee his marching orders in first half for a daft foul while he was on a yellow card.

Did you wear a fucking welders mask when you saw Baldocks booking? It was shoulder to shoulder, and soft as shit at that. See that's what's ruining football, pricks falling down and winning free kicks but worst of all, some of you silly fuckers try to justify it.

Complete fucking fannies game if that was a foul, even more so a booking.

You are indeed correct about Baldock. It was the shoulder with a shove behind it. Goes to show how good my memory is.

However, he took a player out who was breaking on us. It was a professional foul and a booking. It wasn't two players side by side going for the same ball.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Well, he ignored Sanders offside and mcBs elbow, so I'll take it this time.

 

[Davalon]

This law needs to change imho.

If he'd stood on the edge of the pitch goading the Luton fans, he'd have got no card. See it regularly, booked for exuberant celebrating with your own but allowed to wind up the opposition.

Which one is inciting the crowd?

I think if he makes contact with the fans in this case hugging them it’s a yellow, might be wrong though. It’s a bollocks rule though if right

That was my take from the match.
It was so physical, loads of pushes and 50/50 fouls totally ignored, just like watching a match from the 80's.

It's obviously the new rule where refs need to be more lenient, so maybe the ref wasn't poor, maybe he was just applying the new instruction.
Based on last night Luton will be a tough side to beat, so maybe a point is a great result.
