“ Today’s referee “

Sat Feb 02, 2019 9:51 pm

Think he did us a few favours today.

Bamba was lucky to stay on the pitch.

Most of the 50/50s went our way.

Can’t argue with the penalty decision, was a clear penalty and even Howe had no complaints.

Don’t think he had the best game for those reasons.

Wasn’t just the ref, the fourth official had his say too, the linesman on the dugout side was well off the pace all match, it was the fourth official who called the Bournemouth handball on half way.

Bamba shouldn’t have had the yellow in the 1st place, that was really harsh, think Moss realised that and took into account the events before kick off, he was reluctant to brandish cards unless he was given no choice, from where I was sat it looked like Clyne should have walked in the 2nd half for bringing down Murphy as he looked like the last man and Josh would have been in on goal

I thought the referee and the officials were probably the best we've had this season.

Got all the major decisions correct

Paterson lucky not to get booked, but overall the ref was good.
Like the home Leicester game it was difficult today for him

I agree, thought they had a good game and got most of the decisions correct today

Thought the ref had a great game. Took an age to award the penalty.

Good managemement of the Bamba situation, there is no need to to brandish a second yellow for a minor infringement just because a player is already on a yellow.

Hats off to the far side AR for the non offside call at the second goal two, a very fine margin hat a correct call.

Only big incident I can recall they missed would have been a second penalty for the foul on CP.

He's been the best at the CCS this season, don't forget the advantage he played to allow Pats to score against Southampton

All we ever ask for is fairness. All too often we don't seem to get that. I thought the ref was good against arsenal too.
