Great referee today ...

Thought the referee today was the best I've seen at the Lane all season - albeit his harsh penalty decision.

Hi refs mum.

I thought their second was miles offside. Having watched highlights I still do!
Where was VAR for that??

How many pints have you had?!

 

[Oreyt]

Only thing I though about the pen was that if the ball had hit his arm from that position you'd imagine it would jolt back. It didn't from what I could see, suggesting it was the leg.

Hi refs mum.

Fuck you ...

The penalty looking back was 100% a penalty, to be fair he should have been sent off twice.

No you pervy cunt. But you can join in.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Both arms out for balance, pulls them both in, and the ball hits it on the way down.
Were they in an unnatural position to make himself bigger? No, therefore no pen.

It was absolutely onside

 

[knowsnowt]

Me too

In for a penny, in for a pound-ing.

But he was miles offside in the build up, same phase, not on the final pass. Not a toe nail like Lunstram.

 

[JimW1889]

By the rules it was a pen (disagree that it should been). Their second was miles onside. Happy with ref apart from that one awful advantage he gave then brought back in first half.

He let a lot go and was very consistent, that's all you can truly ask for.

 

[Guesty]

Great ref, let the teams play.

Wasn’t harsh it was ( according to the stupid rule) a penalty
Also he should have booked Diaz for his pathetic dive in the first half

And Tierney only showed the ref the view from behind the goal??? From face on I'm sure it looks like it hits his knee first, which is how he was trying to block it. This is what the ref saw, hence no penalty. Fine lines I know, and by the letter probably was just. But why the WWF that takes place in the penalty area each game goes unnoticed by VAR is a mystery, and BBR were very cynical in their fouls most of the game imo. The ref did well in a gut busting FA Cup semi.

Me too

And me

When it happened it looked like it caught his knee first but replays suggest otherwise. Flicked off his arm. I can understand why, under the letter of the law it's a red but very harsh. He was spinning round so you use your arms for balance and pulling his arms into his body.

Allie McCoist was a pretty good co-commentator too I thought. Miles better than Don Goodman and Andy Hinchcliffe.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I thought the ref didn't fall for a lot of their diving, even when Anel threw their player to the ground Mick McManus style.

 

[FMBlade1]

Best ref was the one we had for the Spurs game.

Granted the bar is very low at the moment!

Handball yes. Deliberate handball? Fuck no. Awful decision

 

[andy m]

I get why a penalty was given with todays rules but don't get why he was booked.

Your last comment makes a total mockery of your post. Go away and try to do better.
