Its piss poor, the referee wasn't even looking to give the decision so didn't see it. What I'd like to know is did the lino do the penalty signal or has the ref just assumed its in the box when the lino says it is a foul.
Cant someone lodge a complaint? I know result won't change but if proved unfair they should be given improvement notices or something
I know talking about decisions after a game is good debate, but the annoying thing is, it doesn't change a result. It's so frustrating when officials get something wrong, but it works both ways. Win some, lose some. We just have to debate it and carry on to the next game. Sad fact of football life.
I think the assessors come armed with a large piece of axminster and a broom. Only in high profile games or where there are numerous glaringly bad decisions do those two items get disgarded.Refs are constantly assessed so hopefully he gets to have a few weekends off after this spectacle
I never normally moan about the refs but he was awful yesterday. The pen decision was a joke - having just seen it on the TV it's even worse than I thought. The decision for the free kick for the first was equally as bad.
So we should accept sub standard levels of refereeing then and referees should not be held accountable for their decisions?And i suppose Cov City have never had any dodgy decisions go for them in their history.Forget it and move on.Sheff Utd got a dodgy decision for them with the pen against us (clearly outside the box) and made it 1-1 but we showed our resolve and still went on to win which is something you could not do.
I agree with you about refs but what can we do?Do you honestly believe that if refs went professional the mistakes would eradicate and become zero?So we should accept sub standard levels of refereeing then and referees should not be held accountable for their decisions?
The Lino flagged before they got in the box!In any case,was it a ref error? We have close up pics on our site which show the incident.From what i see,the ref played on with the initial chalenge (outside the box) but the lino flagged for the shirt pull in the box as Clarke got away.
Correct but the ref played on,then his shirt was pulled.The Lino flagged before they got in the box!
