3 penalties not given in this game now. A joke.

Let's see what they say on ref watch tomorrow morning on Sky.

Yeah funny how the referee, linesman can see the incident with Bobby Thomas and the red card but they can't see a blatant penalty.

Couldn’t see MVE against Charlton
Couldn’t see Wright against Ipswich or Southampton
Couldn’t see EMC today
Couldn’t see Hirst kick the ball away

On and on and on…but eagle eyed and spot Thomas do that off the ball.

The ref saw the one today, he just didn't want to give a pen at their place near the end

He just isn't fit to do the job he does.

Correcting typos mid game and offering out fights. Are you sure it is me that doesn't have an argument?

He was to blame in certain shades for every single goal today. That is the reality. You cannot cope with that so you are just writing a lot of shit and digging deeper holes to put the focus away from it. No counter argument still, and some tangent about him being involved in our first goal (the one where Eccles fired one in from long range). It is desperate, and quite laughable, as are your comments about intelligence. If you look at the player ratings you will see most people have put him down as one of our worst players today, which he was.

Have a lovely evening, and try not to get too emotional towards anyone in the pub who might say something that isn't positive about a player you like. Your post here is embarrassing.

oh no, I’ve missed the part of the game still being played at 14.35! that IS embarrassing!

ok silly sausage, stay clueless

Amazing how the lino can give that but not a pen

Yeah pathetic aren't they.

I was being kind. The ref also saw Hirst kick the ball away but bottled the decision.

It's just boring, isn't it.

The thing is, refs have seen them which make it worse.

The one today he had a perfect view. The one on Wright and Sakamoto against Ipswich the officials could see it.

 

[Jimmy87]

To be fair he’s been poor for ages

Yeah, i just meant in the sense that we don't have any reinforcements, as of yet.

 

[SlovakSkyBlue]

When did passes win games.

when did I say it did?

Really sick of this forum blaming refs. We are losing because we’re not good enough. Simple.

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

I have a weird feeling that both Haji and Thomas will leave in this window…

Their body language is massively off, and Thomas’ reaction to the red card was bizarre - I appreciate he accepted he deserved his card etc, but it somehow felt more than that.

So you think none of them were penalties?

I took it that his head was gone and he just got away before he killed somebody.

who is blaming refs for the defeat, they ref can be shite and miss easy decisions and we still were shite

It's a combination of poor performances (compared to the start of the season) and referring decisions. If any of the penalty shouts are given, it changes the complexion of the game completely.

Only one that sticks in my mind was EMC and I think it was six of one half a dozen of the other.

nah, he looked like he wanted to kick off but thought better and dragged himself off

EMC was a penalty yes, handball no. It was a sending off and Thomas was just stupid

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Don't bother. There were people on here thinking Thomas shouldnt have been sent off.

how, do you what "six of one half a dozen of the other" means? It sure ain't having your shirt pulled and being dragged down.

 

[Nick]

MVE, Sakamoto, Wright ones? It's not just today.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

He was rubbish, when was the last time he set up a chance?

I said I hoped wasn't badly hurt ! Not that controversial is it?

Nobody is actually pinning results on their decisions but these are blatant mistakes at critical moments in games.

He was dragging him too

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

That's true.

What is also true is that game-changing decisions are consistently going against us. We can be both poor and have a poor referee performance costing us at the same time.

It's impossible to argue that we shouldn't have had a penalty today; if we do, then we probably take something from the game.

 

[Nick]

Exactly. It's not an either or.

If pens are given they would change outcomes of games.

 

[Grendel]

MVE, Sakamoto, Wright ones? It's not just today.

We should have had a penalty against is against Charlton. VAR would have cancelled our second goal - Mason Clarke was offside by an arm.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They still need to be converted of course and that’s not a given, but even so. Charlton and Southampton would both have been red cards on top though.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

I feel as low as the majority on here, as we seemed to have hit a wall, which we all knew would happen at one time during the season due to the small squad, but we need to remember we are still at least 5 points in front, and if someone said that in the first game of the season would we take that, of course we would however unbelievable at the time
Ipswich an co still have to win their games some obviously against each other.
Thank the lord this team has next week off, send them somewhere in the sun for some more bonding

 

[Nick]

Today? He was nowhere near interfering with play or blocking the keepers view.

Did you mean the handball shout? Less of a penalty than the handball today as his arm was dead by his side.

Disallowed goal for their defender diving today as well.

How good we are or aren't is not an excuse for officials not doing their job properly

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Really sick of this forum blaming refs. We are losing because we’re not good enough. Simple.

However if we got that blatant penalty it would have likely been 3-3? So we would have drew not lost…
