1964 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 My issue with Marriner performance on Saturday was simply that in each of the incidents, when taken in isolation, it could be argued that he made a reasonable call. What is frustrating is that he made the decision to brandish a card every single time there was not one where he gave the benefit of the doubt to us. If Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd or Chelsea did that at home there is no way there would be six yellows and one red. Ian Wright is just so clearly biased his opinion is uttterly irrelevant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Agree 1964. He got some of the decisions right in isolation but he took no account for the flow of the game. His game management was atrocious. At some point I'd have thought he would have looked at the situation and thought 'unless the next few are CLEAR bookings, I'm going to let them ride to take the fizz out of the situation'. Throwing cards around like confetti was a sure fire way to kill the game. I was there on Saturday and couldn't see why he stopped the last minute throw in to us and gave them a FK (booking Colo in the process) but, if ever a decision looked bent, it was that one. Literally the dying seconds of the game, one last chance for us to hoy everyone forward in the hope of a knock down or flick on, and instead of giving it our way, he finds an excuse to hand it to them. If ever a Ref looked like he had it in for us from the off then it was this guy. Mitro only a yellow too. As has been said, if it was Theo Walcott, the ref would have been checking the bottom of his bottom of his boot to make sure his studs were ok and hadn't been harmed.

NUFC_Chris Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 He was awful. I've seen all the comments from Sky, Ian Wright, Savage & co and regardless of the red card decision, the officiating was embarassingly one-sided. It's not the first, nor likely to be the last time from Marriner either. But this is the sort of media shite you have to put up with when playing one of the chosen media darlings.

M4 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 One of the more grotesque passages of refereeing was the whole Cazorla and Wijnaldum bookings. Carzorla got pulled up for a nothing foul (finally) then Colo came over to have a go. Only then did the ref start to turn around and get his card out. Wijnaldum obviously said something and so he immediately booked him too to make up for it. Was like he was being a caricature of his own self.

M4 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Wijnaldum should have not said anything to the ref.... No, I agree there. But frustrations were high and he had failed to book any of the Arsenal players for doing the same. It was the first booking of the game for them.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 He set the bar far too low for yellow cards, don't see how anyone can argue with that. I still think the red was harsh as well, since Mitrovic just stuck out his leg and seemed to be just slow to react to the dropping ball. Can't help but think his reputation went before him there.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The red was harsh, three of the yellows were justified - other three were harsh. The worst part of his performance was the inconsistencies between our 'fouls'/yellow cards and Arsenal's. Sanchez asking for yellow cards all game (and getting them) but Gini getting booked the second he did it. The penalty was wrong also, but I can sort of see how he missed it as in full motion it looked like nothing happened - only when it's slowed down 10 times you clearly see Thauvin stand on the back of his heel. I think as others have said, Marriner thought he was spot on with his early decision and took the crowds/players reaction as a driving force to continue as he was. Overall he had a shocking game, that cannot be ignored or argued with. He certainly didn't get nearly everything spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 In isolation you could justify pretty much every one of our bookings (the Colo and Thauvin ones the exceptions), and the red card (as I've previously said) whether harsh or not, was understandable. Is that not every bodies gripe? The fact that Thauvin and Colo shouldn't have been booked, with Mitro being debatable and only seeing red because of his new found reputation, not the evidence of the tackle?

madras Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 You've explained it yourself, didn't give pen to Arsenal. Should've sent off Sissoko more than Mitrovic, booked two players because he was told to (once by Colo, once by Wenger) watched the challenge on Colback, no attempt at the ball and dangerous but not studs up, foul , but not a yellow. He had a poor game which he massively changed after 16mins wrongly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I'm not of the opinion that Mitro walked because of his reputation. I think you'd see a red given more often than not for that. I appear to be in the minority on this board re that though. You certainly are. Somebody even posted an Arsenal forum a few pages ago. Even they were 50/50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a poor game which he massively changed after 16mins wrongly. Firstly, just because I said that I thought Sissokos was worse doesn't mean I didn't think Mitros was bad. I mean you could argue that Sissoko got lucky (probably because it was early in the game) and Mitro was slightly unlucky (although I still think it was a red). Secondly I don't really buy that he only booked people because people told him to. Just because he doesn't reach for his card immediately doesn't mean he wasn't going to. Watch him all the way through the game. Gary Neville, who I normally like, got him wrong, he said about him taking his time about the sending off...NO HE DOESN'T. Watch it, his hand goes straight to the back pocket and when you watch when they've reched they don't change their minds. He takes his time to draw the card but he's always doing it. On the yellows he's very quick onto those, I wonder why the only two he doesn't give straight away are those which he gives after being "consulted" ?

Wallsendmag Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Ian Wright has absolutely slaughtered the crowd for giving the ref so much stick on Saturday, basically accusing the fans of bullying him. It's in The Sun so there's no link but I'll type it out on here saying how I'm a bit bored at work tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 TOON ABUSE IS DISGRACE - Ian Wright I was at the Newcastle v Arsenal match at the weekend, in the middle of the Toon fans, and was disgusted by the abuse they hurled at Andre Marriner. It wasn't just a small group - it was thousands of them acting in unison - and I found it unfair and deeply offensive. Ref Marriner got the decision to send off Aleksandar Mitrovic absolutely spot on. He went in over the top on Francis Coquelin with his studs showing and it was an automatic red card. It didn't matter whether that happened after 16 minutes or 86. A red card is a red card and for Newcastle fans to accuse Marriner of spoiling the game is crazy. Blame Mitrovic for that. But the amount of venom that came from the fans was something I genuinely haven't experienced before. I've played in matches where the supporters were extremely hostile but not like this. They were at the ref for the whole of the game, even though he actually turned in a really good performance - which is quite something under the circumstances. If he got one big decision wrong, it was when he refused to give Arsenal a penalty. Otherwise he got the big calls right. I don't like to see bullying in any form, and that is what the Toon fans were doing. It's not on, and when it gets this bad the authorities have to look at it and take action. Ok, when there are that many people involved, it's tough to know what to do. But clubs also have to think of ways to protect refs from this kind of intimidation. Let's do something before this becomes the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
