" Referee tonight "

Shocking performance from the referee in the first half tonight.

Three clear fouls on our players, one of which was a certain yellow card.

Lee Hendrie on Sky was shocked they weren't given as fouls.

Also an argument that Kipre was pushed for their equaliser.

Couldn’t agree more… How many times has Etete been bought down, and nothing has been given? Shocking.

I agree with all that but we still need to -
a) Learn how to manage a lead, and
b? Learn how to take penalties.

He's been shite. 2 easy yellow card pull backs about 5 mins apart, not even a yellow.

Yes he is shit, but stop crosses and get someone to score in a penalty

I think he made one shocker in Philogene and another one when Romeo tapped the lad on the back, he fell over and he blew up

Other than that and he was consistent, he just let two shit teams duke it out.

Along with .... The many fouls on Etete mostly in the 1st half -
The foul on Kipre - which led to their goal .
The Pen he gave us which started outside of the box .
The paten was set at the start of the game when he asked for the KO to be retaken :?:
There are many more minor things which happened - But Just Happy With The 3 points :bluebird:

Busy watching his mate Webb to see what to give and what not to and yes know it's a thankless job but that was shocking.

It was one of the worst displays i have seen The commentators were shocked by some of his decisions Especially fouls that were as clear as day light

The phlogene rugby tackle was shocking I agree, but he was letting two physical teams go at it.

It was a push for their goal, but in the context of the game, it was within what he was doing. Ralls and Wintle didn't take any prisoners if you were watching from the other stands. Kipre, McGuniess, Ng, and Simpson don't take a backward step either with Etete and Saba backing in and pushing their players off the ball I say it was a consistent performance.

If he ref'd it like Citeh Arsenal they'd be 9 players a side by the end.

The referee doesn’t have Lee Hendrie’s camera angles. Anyway, if the players cheat, the PFA, Agents, and Clubs should bring in a mandatory fine of one months salary. Basically it’s condoned. Game stinks.

I honestly think the standard of reffing has been the worst I’ve ever seen this season, also linesmen that are unable to make a decision.

I also think they’re doing this on purpose to force VAR into the Championship. I honestly don’t think I can watch games if VAR does come in.
