" The Referee "

Fri Jul 10, 2020 9:28 pm

Absolutely dreadful tonight.

I'm not one to have a go at referees but I thought he had an awful game - for both sides.

The two incidents that stood out were that I thought Hector should have been sent off for Fulham, and Fulham should have been given a second penalty.

Both were obvious decisions in my eyes.

The ref missed a clear 2nd half pen for Fulham as well - and maybe one for us ???

Knockaert should have been sent off in the first half.

Hector should have been sent off in the second half. Once for lashing out at Paterson, then he should have had a second yellow for a foul from behind.

Fulham should have had a penalty second half.

Danny Ward should have had a penalty at the end.

It was a shocking refereeing performance and surely, he will get dropped for the remainder of the season after that.

No complaints with the result though. Sanderson's stupidity cost us and we struggle to break teams down after going behind. Our right back position is a concern. Bacuna has been so crucial to us in midfield and I felt we missed him in the centre second half. Neil Harris has some big decisions to make.

After going behind we had a difficult task in the extreme? Fulham played 23 won 19 lost none after scoring 1st :shock:

Agreed with all above. Thought Harris got team spot on against Leeds and preston when to sub and everything. If we had beaten charlton loss to Blackburn wouldn’t have been so damaging, don’t forget Blackburn HAVE to win all their games just for a chance of the playoffs draws we’re no good if it had been they may not have been so gung ho and their goals did have a certain element of luck about them. WE have a big squad which was thought as a good thing in this situation but no strength in depth. We now have to win all our remaining games. Team for derby playing narrow 4312. Smithies bacuna Morrison nelson Bennett Vaulks ralls Lang Tomlin glatzel ward. PS Knockart sent off first half deliberate hand ball yellow deliberate foul on Lang yellow nuff said.

Sanderson has a good pull at the jersey but Mitrovic is very theatrical. However, Mitrovic was the initial offender with a pull on Sanderson. I noted Gary O'Neill picked up on it after the game, says Mitrovic is very clever and as the referee wouldn't be looking there then he is probably right to give the penalty :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

There were some very poor refereeing calls throughout, even allowing for Hector's yellow, he had a further three offences including a dirty one on Glatzel at the end and should have seen a second caution several times. Christie and Knockaert were the same all evening too for them, yet Joe Ralls picks up a yellow for his only tackle (and correctly so). Very inconsistent in his application of the laws.
