Referee (14 Viewers)

[stevefloyd]

Said in the other thread, I think it should be up to the ref to have a look at a replay if he wants. I think the whole idea of VAR undermines refs authority and you’re just replacing one fallible ref with another. May as well stick with the one you’ve got.

I will suggest a correction if I may, You're just replacing 1 clueless ref with another

The intention is less pressure and more surgical response to the decision leads to a better decision or more accurate

Goal looked offside?

Shock

Both refs were dog shit.

Although he didn't give them a clear penalty either.

For some reason didn't want to book their players and let them get away with it.

Where’s VAR when you need it?

By a mile too.

TBF I thought the Eccles one was more a pen than that one. Lots of decisions for both sides that could have gone another way.

Like today?

Absolutely, it's a shame his timepiece stopped during timewasting

two cunts for the price of one.

Procession time!
They got the points the media and everyone else were after, inevitable really!!

When will we be that team?

TBH, I am starting to think that inept match officials are ruining the experience. Last night, a foul on Simms similar to the one attracting a red card for Kitchen didn’t even merit a talking to the Ipswich player, a clear offside in the build up to their second goal and a blatant push in the back on Eccles totally unpunished. It’s week after week.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The officials were very poor all round I thought. Thomas 100% gave away a penalty, a pretty clear offside goal, loads of fouls not given and loads of non fouls given.

Par for the course really.

It's a conspiracy, make the officials so completely dreadful that there will be less resistance to VAR. They have been awful this season.

Two minutes added in the first half. I was expecting six.

Yeah it was very weird. Should have been much more.

 

[wingy]

Didn't fit the expectation did it?

 

[CCFCSteve]

Yeah it was very weird. Should have been much more.

And at least 2-3 added onto the 11 mins second half as they continually wasted time during injury time. That being said, I was ready to go by then anyway

I have never seen timewasting taking corners before. Very early on in the game and so blatant. Ref does…………………nothing.

 

[Frostie]

Ball can't have been in play for more than about 3mins total during the 11+ added time.

I don't even blame Ipswich, yeah they milked it to the absolute maximum, but once it was obvious very early on that neither ref had any intention of punishing it why not?

I’ve said it before but why has the directive to correctly add stoppage time just fallen away? Second time in three years they’ve tried to implement and refs just give up on it by Christmas

Just to add to this, cast your minds back to the first two game weeks this season. No time wasting as players knew it would be added on and punished. 9 minutes average added time I think it was, features on MotD and other shows about how much more time the ball was in play compared to previous seasons. Then present day it’s a shambles again.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Looks like the VAR ref from the semi final has surfaced...

2nd time too, though the first wasn't racist. He admitted this one -



This was Gifford's second offence as he had admitted a similar breach in 2022 and was suspended for eight weeks, fined £200 and ordered to undertake an education programme.

Yep-shame as the summer tournaments are great occasions. I used to do them regularly and then this started to creep in. Minority spoil it for the majority as per usual.

 

[pusbccfc]

Pathetic again.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Pathetic again.

So is the ref responsible for that garbage performance?
