Dogawful Officiating

[arnonel]

Omg

[Pilko]

I hate this soft cunt protection of goalkeepers. Same thing happened in the Chelsea game, Sanchez flew out and clattered Mykolenko and was awarded a free kick. Total shit.

[David Edgar]

This referee.

[The Butcher]

You have to be absolutely mental to want to be a ref, mind

[Hanshithispantz]

Always nice when a referee is so shite that he reverses his shit decisions against you by being even shitter for the opposition.

[maybe_next_year]

Both teams have a genuine right to be furious. VAR took an absolute age to clear the non-red cards too... don't even know why they paused the game for Murphy's one. 

[Wolfcastle]

Looks like he's completely lost the plot, like each of his own decisions has further thrown him off the next

I don’t recall a weaker ref.  Awful decisions for both teams.  As literally is not fit to referee completely lost it.  Should sub him at half time.

[nemtizz]

Rules out a perfectly fine goal but then gives extremely soft pen. Incompetent cunts.

 Was that for or against Murphy?

[Geordie Ahmed]

He's been terrible and overall we've benefited from it

I kind of feel bad for the ref, he's been utter trash, for both sides, but when the whole stadium where chanting "You're not fit to referee" he looked like he wanted the whole world to open up and swallow him  

[1964]

This guy is out of his depth, got so much wrong, and 1 minute injury time suggests he just wanted to get off the pitch because there should have been at least 6

[andycap]

Why did the ref disallow the goal he obviously didn't see it properly. 

Making a decision makes it easier for var to stick with it.

1 minute stoppage time was genuinely hilarious

I genuinely thought he wasn’t going to give the pen out of spite. 

[Joelinton7]

Worse than the Villa ref

[Sima]

What did that Delap tackle on Tonali look like before the pen? Looked like a rugby tackle from the back of the Gallowgate.

[Rich]

What the fuck was that today?

[TRon]

Thank God we won because it felt like this ref should have had the cards out long before he did. If anything the booking for the dive was probably the least cynical of the Ipswich challenges.

If you mean the one on Burn, it was a pen.

I said the exact same thing looked a deliberate shoulder fall into Tonali. He had been booked as well so Ipswich would have been down to 9 men but I think penalty incident happened immediately after so was forgotten about

It was shocking but it might have been a slip.

Looked like a slip in the ground

[Tsunami]

Ref was awful, wasn’t helped by the Lino Milburn/ Gallowgate side. He’d have struggled calling a toss of a coin. Absolutely no help to the ref.
