It's madness he would get into trouble for saying anything about it.

Everybody in the stadium saw it

Grimes saying that..

No he rewarded it with free kicks

The ref was shocking but it wasn’t a corner. Simms never appealed for a corner and none of our team thought it was a corner until the Lino erroneously gave one.

He should have doled out a few cards especially when our guys on the ball getting barged in the back.

Absolutely fucking honking. As Nick and others have said, the time-out blew my mind. Scared of them.

Me and my lad were on about him last night and both said how shit he would be.
He’s the same one who did us at Norwich earlier in the season too

A genuine question. Officials this seasons have been awful. I watch games at the CBS and often think both us and the visiting team would have reasons to feel hard done by.

Are the performances of match officials reviewed by anyone ? Are they held to account for the quality of their decisions for each game they participate in ?

There is an official in the stands who makes a report

Ultimately, they've made a mistake with the offside goal and then decided to give but ely everything.

It's a bit like me giving wrong change when I worked at Londis and then deciding to give everyone else a fiver for the rest of the day because I felt bad.

It's not a mistake with the first goal, the Burnley player makes an attempt to clear it so Wright is then onside. Stupid rule but correctly a goal

I’d calmed down but just speaking to someone about it has riled me up again. At what point does a referee think “these lot are taking the piss out of me” and start clamping down? Egan-Riley in the first half was rolling round holding his knee like he’d had an amputation but then just got up and ran off. Same with Roberts towards the end. Infuriating.

Look at when Sky or TNT have refs on. When they cut to them as there's a decision pending they're totally non committal then once something has been decided they always say the ref was right even when we can all clearly see an error.

Ref was the worst of the season (and as a rule I am usually sympathetic to them)

You almost needed a rule like they have in rugby - keep fouling and the next one is in the sin bin whoever he is

Should be a straight booking. If you’re rolling about then get up fine instant booking.

If he has blocked the is Wright onside? They seemed to say that to justify the Liverpool goal against Everton

Can’t remember a worse ref, what a mincing pathetic excuse for a man he really was. Strutted around getting everything wrong, trashing the game and encouraging a cheating Burnley team to carry on doing what they liked.

Can anybody explain the bit where their player got up, went for mve to block him, fell over and won a free kick? It should have been a booking and free kick to us.

Then Hannibal ran in kicking off, already on a booking. Ref did fuck all.

Is it any wonder players get booked for having a go?

I agree that was astonishing decision

Happened more than twice.

No attempt to disguise it by initially hobbling.

It was as though they were either 'enjoying taking the mickey' or perhaps alternatively 'maximising there effectiveness by sprinting to be back in position'

I've never seen any team as well drilled by a coach in tactics. Parker is a modern day version of 'John Beck'.
For those younger ,John Beck ex Coventry midfielder who then used highly unusual and highly dubious and unlikeable strategies to drive Cambridge United to 2nd level of English football.

He didn't care if we or Burnley won that game.

He was just bad at his job, which is also an extremely difficult job.

He wasn’t bad at his job, if that was the case he would’ve been shit for both sides. He was utterly 1sided giving Burnley everything. Easily swayed by there play acting and dirty tricks

I get it must be difficult for referees sometimes, I mean, the referee today might as well have just threw Josh Brownhill his whistle and told him to crack on with it. That being said, he was appalling. As always, I do not subscribe to conspiracies of some sort of plot against us, or that referees favour certain teams, he was just...shite.

What I do believe is that Burnley make themselves difficult to referee, and it requires very good refereeing. Today, he had a very bad game, and some of the decisions were baffling; the "foul" by Wright on Egan-Riley (?) early in the game, the yellow for MvE for being clattered into, no yellow for Anthony kicking the ball away when the ball was so far out of play it was practically on the A444, to name but a few

Said at the time Roberts actually took the piss out of the ref laughing and doing that weird river dance shit when he got back up

Correction: My "A444" bit doesn't work as that was close to the East Stand...but you get my gist

Last season we got apology letters from the league about terrible refereeing decisions. Need a bouquet of flowers to go with this one
