Langford is a disgrace

[1973Blade]

By far the worst referee in the League an absolute disgrace. Does anyone from the football league actually assess the performances of these incompetents?

 

[Bladesman]

I don’t think he should officiate our games.

I said that last time.

 

[Wards]

You knew before it even kicked off that he’d do something to make himself the centre of attention.

 

[Proper Blade]

Almost every decision he makes is wrong. Even the tiny little ones throughout the game.

It's kind of amazing to be that bad a ref

I'll reserve actual comments until I've watched the highlights, but this reads as the sort of "not our fault" post that is usually reserved for Liverpool and Man City fans

Bamford gets studs on the knee. No free kick or worse.

Their lad runs into Hamza = second yellow

 

[Tezza1889]

I hope we dont forget this cunt next time he pulls up at the lane..

Forgetting that we have lost. Purely assessing his performance it was poor.

The two biggest decisions for me were these.
Missed a straight red on Bamford. Choudhury first is a yellow, 2nd is not. Like Andy Walker said, where is he supposed to go. He's ran straight at him not the last man either.

Let some things go which is fine.
But for us judged the high foot as a yellow too. What is the ruling there?

I also thought he let Phillips get away with some questionable tackles. One where it looked clear to me he went through the back of their player and I'm not sure he got the ball.

Just seen Wilder have a go at Langford at the end. Incoming ban? Or for what he may say afterwards.

 

[UddersBlade]

He must have an issue with us or Wilder - maybe unconscious bias - maybe a pig supporting family member or something. Regardless - we should be requesting (with reasons) why we don’t want him again.

Apparently we have done previously.

 

[Wards]

It wasn’t his fault that we seem unable to string more than 3 passes together but it never helps when he’s officiating us. He’s just a really bad referee.

We did though, I thought we were doing okay first half. 11 v 11 I reckon we go on and win second half.

Let’s be right they should have been down to 10 men long before any goals went in.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Awful. Studs up on Bamford...nothing. Their bloke runs into Hamza and launches himself to the floor...red. Useless, incompetent wanker.

 

[LiamBG]

Thought he had a decent game. Let a lot go and kept the game moving. Hamza been done twice as he’s not a RB. Both fair bookings. One on Bamford looked bad but if he hasn’t seen it can anyone recommend a red at this level?

We don’t keep the ball at all well enough, with 10 or 11 men. It’s been a constant theme for two seasons. It’s not the only problem we have but it’s a big one. Sometimes, like the first half, we have short spells where we play a bit of football. Inevitable that we then lose our way and resort to lumping down the channels.

But it is his fault that he doesn't send their bloke off for a 6 studded assault on Bamford...them down to 10 is a totally different game!!

I don’t disagree

Mate he was diabolical from the 1st minute onwards...the so called tackle on Bamford was disgusting (6 studs above the knee) and as for the 2nd yellow...
He needs banning

Did he see it? As I’ve said previously, we don’t have VAR.

 

[Bladesman]

I don’t disagree

Also, Pompey commit a second foul like Hazma's no way their lad would be seeing a second yellow.

 

[Blademan89]

I think we need to check his record, seemingly sending off our black players.

Wonder if theres a pattern with others hes sent off or not.

And whilst we at it was jt Liverpool who requested referee not to officiate them and it was granted? It was him druggy one whos been sacked...well can't we do same with this absolute chode. Bescuse he clearly has an agenda against us.

15 mins in bamford nearly had his knee snapped in half, which should have been a red.. no booking not even a foul... 80th min McGuinness nearly decapitated... just a yellow card. This mans double standards is a joke. But oh if our player stands still and gets ran into then its yellow card and a sending off.

We should be appealing it.

 

[Blademan89]

He was behind it. He could not not see it.. plus 4th offical doing.

Couldn't we show 4th offical monitor on replay if it like pigs did for 98th min pen saturday abs have him call ref over and give it?

Can't appeal second yellows but we can certainly put a case together to block Langford officiating our matches.

He didn't have a decent game. Don't mind letting alot go but it's also about getting stuff wrong or missing big incidents. That's a refs job.
I thought he let Phillips get away with about 3 blatant fouls.

How does he miss the studs on the knee? Ball was with Bamford, clearly doesn't get the ball. It's his job to see that. Or another official.

Choudhury can't do anything for that 2nd and not last man. Not a yellow for me.

 

[AWetFlannel]

It's his job to see it.

 

[Tezza1889]

I thought same, pig, this forum tolerates them now for clickbait..

 

[westmidsblade]

Did he see it?? Its his job to see it...it was blatant...he was 10 yards away. He couldn't not see it

If he doesn't see it then there is a half a chance their lad gets a retrospective ban for it.
