Dogawful Officiating

[Hanshithispantz]

You can even see Tyler Adams' leg buckle during it 

[Chapo]

I’m not one for digging out the refs but that was the worst performance I’ve seen in a long time, completely lost control. 

[Rich]

That's two absolute honkers we've had on the bounce, now. Both shite for both teams.

[joeyt]

Yep terrible. The joelinton yellow was scandalous

[RodneyCisse]

He painted himself into a corner with the early yellow for nothing.

[geordie_b]

Surprised he didn’t give the handball and then rely on VAR to correct him.  Kind of decision your typical top 6 ref gives

[gbandit]

Thought it was a decent enough performance. Poor decision to give a yellow and foul on Joelinton’s quality tackle and there were a lot of yellows flying about but I think he got almost all the calls right 

[robbo_11]

He made a rod for his own back with a 10 minute spell of poor decisions, should have had a word with captains to calm the game rather than let it get too scrappy.

[80]

He wasn't perfect, but I thought he was even handed overall which is the main thing I ask for. I thought 'here we go, death by a thousand yellows' when Bruno and Wilson got booked, but then he started dishing them to Arsenal too, in fairness.

[midds]

Booking Almiron for standing on the line he drew on the pitch tops it for me. Like a supply teacher crumbling trying to get Konner to put his chewy in the bin

[geordiesteve710]

A lot of the yellows were avoidable tonight (for both teams.) Thought Bruno, Overgaard and probably Xhaka were all worthy of yellows but for some of the others he got conned by player reaction and with the Almiron one surely he can just walk across and say "look just pack it in son" before going to his card?

 

Very inconsistent with what was/wasn't a free kick as well, particularly towards the end when he gave everything to them and nothing to us.

And you would know

[GideonShandy]

Amusing that his brother inspired this thread's title.

Which games have we been fortunate to get points from because of wrong decisions?

 

Bournemouth pen was harsh i think, especially as it hit his knee first, Everton home possibly, Onana maybe fouled before the goal, Joelinton could have been sent off for two yellows first half, i can't think of much else.

 

We could have conceded a pen away at Man U but we should have had one first.

 

The two joke games are Liverpool and Palace, robbed of at least 3 points, the Isak offside was annoying but it isn't a blatant error, it was close, the added time however was a farce.

 

We should also have had pens against Man City, Leeds and Wolves, though they hardly ever seem to give shirt pull pens now.

 

I can't think of a team not getting a pen against us when they should have, Burn on Tuesday wasn't a free kick anyway.

It was. To us. Joelinton is first to the ball and gets kicked in the back of the leg.

[Lush Vlad]

I thought the ref was good overall.  So possibly a bit harsh to moan.  

 

But he let Leicester carry with their attack for about 10-15 seconds when Schar was down with his customary head injury.  Yet when we were about to go through on goal, he whistled straight away when Tielemans was down.  Pretty sure he didn't give a free kick and it was a drop ball, with us keeping possession.

We got 2 yellow cards in quick succession. The 1st one was justified in my option, the 2nd was harsh. I saw the attack that you were on about, and he should have let play go.

I also thought there was 2 occasions where Leicester committed a backpass.

[Stifler]

Another game, another bump.

He was bad for both teams today, although I’d say Fulham edged the decision in favour. Their attacker should have been booked for the dive for the pull back that wasn’t a penalty. How many times did Ream who was already on a yellow card have to foul our players for a 2nd yellow. The penalty that was given, it was a 50/50 challenge where they both left their mark on each other.

The freekick he dragged back 10 yards.

This is apparently one of the best as well.

[TRon]

Thought this guy was a bit of a homer tbh. Not surprised Siva was pissed off.

Its a freekick to Trippier

[andycap]

Yeah the first Trippier free kick Longstaff was fouled just outside of the d on the eighteen yard box, yet the ref pushed it back so far it basically stopped us from directly scoring from it. 

[joeyt]

Haven't seen the penalty incident back but it looked like Pereira hand balled it from inside the ground?

Simply not a pen but if the ref was only shown the Milburn angle could maybe understand how it was sold to him

[Skeletor]

So what can be done about the dreadful state of refereeing in this league? Even with VAR in slow motion they are still making the wrong decisions when they are glaringly obvious. Are they genuinely incompetent, or does the Premiership need a full blown corruption investigation in order to sort this mess out?
