Can't Cardiff ask the fa to have a look at his refereeing? He shouldn't be near the premier league with some of his decisions yesterday. The wrestling in the box is costing points, and it's going to cost Cardiff their place in the premiership come the end of the season if it continues.

I would have loved to see OGS have a rant on MOTD - at least then people would have to take a look and analyse

How can the below not be a penalty? Feels like a waste of my money coming to watch this week in week out when we never get these decisions...

I agree with most of the comments about Lee Mason. What concerned me most was that by overlooking a lot of very poor challenges one player left the pitch with severe concussion, two were kicked in the head and one player was eventually sent off (not before time) and, let's face it, West Ham should have picked up a lot more bookings as well.
With so much hanging on that game for Allardyce, it was inevitable that he would set his team up to play hard and try to bully a win at all costs. Not surprising really as he did it for years with Bolton. Perhaps he knew better than Ole that Mason didn't have the character to really take control of the game so he could rely on getting away with playing dirty.

Perhaps we will need to be a bit more clever and set our team according to ref we get as well as the opposition we are playing?

How were there only 4 minutes of injury time? 4 substitutions (2 from each team) a red card where he took ages 2 accept it and walk off the pitch. Lost count of the amount of fouls West Ham committed that slowed the game down, and only 4 mins?! When a week ago there was 5 mins against Sunderland although nothing happened 2 slow the game down and they scored in the 5th costing us 2 points!

How about this one on Kim? I thought you couldn't raise your hands to an opponents face. No where near the ball either so he can't use the excuse of going for the ball.

He's useless watched the Man city v Liverpool game and he let Skrtel get away with shirt pulling mostly against Negredo at every corner. Totally blatant and right in front of him, he also turned a blind eye when Kompany did the same thing, sure these players know what refs they can get away with it.

I suppose that's part of the so called 'prem experience' pundits keep banging on about players needing. We do seem a bit naïve in that department. :(

If Kim was closer to the keeper and the keeper went for the ball and dropped it he'd get a free kick, its total bollocks the rules regarding goal keepers. Refs look for the slightest excuse to give a free kick, it saves any controversial decisions.

Why doesn't someone compile an email with all these photos and send it to skysports news, the refs boss and look for answers. I don't have decent internet access at the moment to do this. Also include the incidents from the liverpool game.

My biggest worry in this league is the referees. They are shockingly bad.

We have to beat the teams ourselves though, we had enough chances to win the match without the 3 penalty shouts.
