Dogawful Officiating

I thought I must be losing my mind that they didn’t go into mad detail for the foul on Longstaff. Looked nailed on. 

 

Well, you see, he didn't flick his pinky toe in to the goalkeeper's chest as he went flying. Now that's cOnTeNtIoUs.

Anthony Taylor go suck on a Haribo. Did he realise he was on a football pitch at all today and that he was the referee. Just seemed to ignore absolutely everything.

No idea how Forest got out of that game with only 1 yellow card, that bald prick is either massively incompetent or on the take. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Taylor had a poor game and fortunately for us he got the Awoniyi pen shout wrong

The two penalties in the Luton-Sheff Utd game were scandalous

[Tsunami]

I didn’t think it was a foul on Awoniyi ?. The ball bounces off his knee, Schar flicks the ball, Dubs’ second movement is clearly to try to stretch beyond him to get to the ball. Awoniyi runs into Dubs. 
 

To me it’s a collision where there is no foul. I might be in the minority here and if a pen had been given it wouldn’t have been overturned but, I just think the striker made a bit of a mess of it all.

I didn't think it was a penalty either but 4/4 mates in a Whatsapp group said it should have been a pen with current rules. They are Man United/Liverpool fans though.  VAR would've never taken it away if it was originally given.

[joeyt]

I thought Gibbs White was lucky not to get a second yellow

[Lush Vlad]

If the Awoniyi one is a foul. Then so is the one on Longstaff. Which could have put us 2 up. Neither are pens IMO.

Second game in a row we've played a team of hatchet merchants who are getting away with it.

[arnonel]

I literally can't believe how bad he is

[gbandit]

Standard of officiating at an all time low this season

[alexf]

Awful inconsistent crap today. Giving nothing against us and no cards and yet when we breathe on some of theirs he is giving free kicks to get them out of danger.

[Numbers]

i'm fucking bamboozeld by this cunt today like. How can they be this bad?

[Sufi]

Francis should be off. Few others should be booked. Unbelievable that VAR didn’t look at the one on Bruno. The last one on Miggy was a yellow too. Officials should have to sit down after the match and watch replays on a huge screen and comment on their performance and what they were thinking. 

[Hanshithispantz]

Who is he?

 

Like he's purposefully being lenient as to not be seen as a homer or something. Weird performance.

[Kid Icarus]

Thought he was good for a bit, I prefer refs that let things go, and the decisions have been fine, but they should have like 4 yellow cards. 

[Skeletor]

Every game we have to talk about how shit the referee is. Rather than tinker with VAR or blue cards, address the fucking poor standard of referees in this country.

[andycap]

Could it be a conspiracy by the Premier league? I've noticed it all season. Teams fouling constantly and getting away with it then we will put in a foul booking straight away.

Whos' Francis?

[Kid Icarus]

Honestly thought he gave us nearly everything Only complaint is the lack of yellow cards, but every time one of ours went down it was still given.

[joeyt]

Smith not getting a yellow the whole game was dreadful

[madras]

Poor display from the ref yesterday. Gave Bournemouth the green light to stop us by repeated fouling that went unpunished beyond  free kicks.

 

It's the most frustrating thing in football for me at the minute, referees know why teams are doing it but refuse to yellow card for obvious deliberate fouling. 

 

Also the way Gordon is being targeted with no protection from refs is getting hard to take. See the way he's upended early then a different player does it next time, then someone else. So obvious and nothing is done.

 

Some sanction needs to be done for repeated team fouling.

In terms of the fouls I thought he mostly called them right, for both sides

 

The criminal part was the lack of yellow cards, all that did was give them a licence to kick us more and more

 

Christie should have been on a yellow already before he raked the back of Bruno's leg, he makes that challenge he wasn't booked already

 

Same for Senesi, clear yellow card on Miggy not given, which then allows him to bring down Barnes in the second half

 

That made it a shocking performance from the referee, allowed some players an extra kick/foul
