REF AT WEST HAM HOME

[ZacNaloen]

This is kind of thing the ref missed again and again.

I remember Cole putting his hand against one of our players face/neck to gain advantage in a jump as well. Let alone the stamp and other afters that was going on all over the pitch.


Genuinely think if the ref had been brave and booked o'brien for that first tackle through the back of Kebe that would have nipped the rest of the shit in the bud.

[Mr Angry]

Even someone on KUMB said they thought Cole should have gone for kicking a Reading player whilst on the floor (he thought it was Guthrie but I'm pretty certain it was Gunter); presumably if they review the game and see both that kick and the tap-dancing then Cole could get 2 red cards - 6 games out???



That would make me laugh!!!

The calls seem to go in their favor a bit more than to us...but who gives a f@#k, we got the 3 points.

Now this man knows what he's talking about.
All other keyboard jocks who want to rake everything over (and over) take good note!

[Gobsheik]

What a referee he was. He certainly got the lower west stand patrons up on their feet!!!!! I have never seen that level of anger coming from the west lower before, (some of them must have turned in their graves)!!!! I never thought I would see some of these old men/ladies with their walking sticks punching the air directed towards the ref. Maybe they may have taken a leaf out of my book!!!!!!!!!!!! URZ.

He wasn't the best, but compared to the Ref in the Narge v Citeh game he was sublime.

[grey_squirrel]

He wasn't great but everyone knew what sort of game this was going to be.

Maybe his innocuousness kept 22 players on the pitch and saved it from really going off.

Still, given how our season has gone with decisions, we should be grateful he didn't spot a push on Vaz Te's open goal chance, even though there were no defenders within 5 yards of him!

Hunt was lucky not to get a yellow for kicking the ball away near the end. Tough game to ref, no bias there for me.

[SCIAG]

Sorry, but how exactly can the referee stop a player holding the ball in the corner? It's not illegal.

Correct, but it happens all the time, I'm fairly sure it happened against Arsenal, for example. The referee will blow up for impeding or pushing or something, even if it is legitimate.

He also pushed Mariappa in the face in the first half.

Generally I thought he was OK and was in no way biased, but he should've been made aware of the "previous" in this fixture and if he'd booked O'Brien for his 1st minute thuggery it would've laid down a marker for the rest (well actually the whole as it was that early) of the game

I agree with this.

[royal_ross]

you need to get to a few more games Ross

Not the best, but at least he did try to play the advantage....then pulled players back for their bookings etc

Seen plenty worse, and I think that we have been victims of plenty worse in just this season already.

I go to plenty thanks mate, every home game and whatever away games I can afford to. Just believe he was one sided that 2nd half and as usual we get the other side of it. He let a lot of things go unpunished. Shame I do actually rate him, just not that performance.
