Just wow. Anyone defending that performance needs shooting
He was by far the worst this season and it’s a low bar

He was dreadful first half , totally bottled the penalty , his lino wasnt much better

Cannot understand the lino not flagging for the pen. What actually is his job?

The worst Ref this season

 

[Nick]

Are there any decent refs in this league? It was terrible.

 

[edgy]

I was talking to a local ref recently who spent time with some more higher level league refs.

He said when mic'd up, the ref makes nearly all of the calls and tells the linos to raise their flag or not. The lino will tell the ref over the mic, what he's seen but will not raise his flag until the ref agrees and tells him too. That is why it takes so long for offside flags to go up.

 

[eyesee]

shocking today.
although, simms clearly kicking it out and us getting a corner was quite funny

 

[Warwickhunt]

Unbelievable! Think EFL need to get his bank balance checked!

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Didn't the same lino also miss a Charlton offside ?
Commentary said he was about 5 yards offside.

This also avoids the ref and linesman going against each other on a decision. Ref as the ultimate call, will defer to the linesman if needed.

He was about 10 yards behind play. Utterly fucking useless.

Edit - that was the other lino

Yep, both linos were awful.

 

[WestEndAgro]

I don't comment on referee's, and I'm not making an exception for this c**t.

 

[Paul Anthony]

The penalty call alone was so bad, that questions should be asked about his capability. Not that any of the officials seemed up to scratch today.

It's embarrassing. The quality of officiating at this level overall is so bad, everyone knows it, and yet nothing ever gets done.

 

[ccfctommy]

The penalty call was huge mistake, that said, in general I don't think he was that bad. I liked it when the Charlton keeper went down injured and he stopped the physio from coming on.

 

[covcity4life]

For once I won't say it's fans being silly. He was shite

 

[AJB1983]

I still think the Norwich ref Gavin Ward was the worst. Shocking.
He was nowhere near that bad.

that penalty first half was a shocker but again don’t know how the Lino doesn’t help him out.

 

[CovRes]

The one from Tuesday certainly was okay. He made mistakes, sure. But not on the level of some of them.

 

[skybluecam]

Anyone got a replay of the pen?

I thought it was a foul but Milan seemed to want to get a pen rather than take the shot.

 

[Nick]

 

[lifeskyblue]

Penalty and a red card for me; no attempt to play the ball and last man

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Penalty and a red card for me; no attempt to play the ball and last man

Im not sure if you can get a red in these instances anymore? But stonewall penalty

 

[skybluecam]

Im not sure if you can get a red in these instances anymore? But stonewall penalty

Yes you can; double jeopardy only applies if the foul is made when attempting to play the ball (e.g. missed slide tackle). Pulling someone back would still be a red if it's DOGSO.

Surely that can't be right? The ref won't be in a position to determine whether someone's offside or not. That's bonkers.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yep no attempt to play the ball

 

[shmmeee]

Nah that’s bollocks you can see he’s trying to get around the ball and is pulled over. Lorna whatsit tried to claim that as well which should tell you how good an opinion it is

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Penalty all day long, don't really get what the lino was doing either

 

[shmmeee]

Penalty all day long, don't really get what the lino was doing either

All three of them were useless today for both teams. Not biased just bad officials.

 

[David O'Day]

yeah, he's just a terrible ref

 

[edgy]

It's the refs call as to whether the player, in an offside position, is actual active in the phase of play. They wait for as long as possible to let the game continue without stoppage as much as possible.

 

[EPSB]

Penalty all day long, don't really get what the lino was doing either

At least we’ll have VAR to fall back on next season

 

[SBbucks]

I think the lino was the only person on that side of the ground that didn’t see it come off Simms (the crowd laughing almost gave it away).
Did Simms then score from that corner or is that my mind playing tricks?

 

[kg82]

No she didn’t! She said maybe that’s what the ref was thinking, even said after she didn’t think that.

It was a terrible call, he gets dragged, you could see the movement from miles away. No excuse for the ref.

Definitely a theme at this level. Watching the Stoke game earlier and Hull weren’t given a nailed on penalty too. And then one of the strangest offside decisions I’ve ever seen.
