Ref Watch

Pity we couldn’t dig up financial records on refs and so forth I bet it would be an eye opener,need someone like that cnut pinto who hacked our database ..

the keeper took the piss out of the Mariner all game challenging his authority and making him look exactly what he is a weak ****

I think you'll find that Mariner wasn't the one who was having the piss taken out of him, he didn't give a shit and was fully complicit in the timewasting, it was US (players, manager and fans) who it was being extracted from.

 

[Bluescholar]

We're reffed differently every week,it's only more annoying and obvious when we play shit and lose

 

[BringBackSwales]

Apart from a small fine in what way did the booking punish the keeper who took the piss out of the Mariner all game challenging his authority and making him look exactly what he is a weak ****

That’s my point. He was never going to book him until too late, cos he is a cheating ****

The ball boy on east stand did a great job, rushing to retrieve the ball and at one point caught it head high

The kid did a great job agreed. But we need more of them - it’s a no brainier isn’t it, give some lucky kids the chance to be near to their heroes and speed up play ?

So the VAR at the Leicester game see nothing wrong with Oliver's decision not to send Evans off for the identical foul that the Mason on VAR duty for us decided to back the referee 100% and send Laporte off.
Zaha is a cheat he initiated the contact and both were grappling each other but Zaha screams with his arms outstretched , at least we know it evens itself up over a season ........................

It probably does even itself out over the season but not for certain teams and definitely not us ..

This is exactly what Jonny Moss did last time he got his iron lung pressurised. "Goal kick? Ah, time for me to get my breath back as I walk slowly back to the halfway line. If he still hasn't taken the kick when I turn round in the centre circle, I'll give him a wave." They don't bother. I think it is this kind of shitty reffing that will drive away fans from the game far sooner than having to suffer decades of a shit team. I kept saying to the guys next to me that he will book him on 87 mins. It turned out to be 85. Why a booking on 85 mins when the wastrel has been taking the piss at every goal kick for 84 mins? I can imagine what would be said if one of the Whistling Wankers ignored other infringements of the LotG for 84 mins. I find it totally insulting, having paid hard earned to get a seat and then see an opposition goalkeeper deny us five minutes of playing time each half. Two minutes at HT was another joke. I think a freshly scooped dog turd off the towpath of the Ashton Canal prior to kick off was about the standard of reffing today. And while I'm on the rant, the picture of the VAR offside goal was pretty clear - why did it take so long when I nailed offside two seconds after seeing the screen. I smell a VAR rat. Had they superimposed a pair of size 16 boots on Foden so that his toe nail was nearer the goal line? And another, their offside goal began with the forward collecting the ball five yards behind our last defender, three touches and he 'scores', and the lino puts up his flag. It was blatantly obvious the only outcome would be offside. Perhaps the wankers were waiting for the Palace time-waster on the goal line to run 115 fuckin' yards past everybody and toe-end it in?

Roll on Wednesday!

Me and my sons said the same at half time, why only two minutes?

 

[eastmanc]

And why do we only have one ball boy covering the entire length of the touch line. If we’re not able to save valuable time by using the multi ball system that mysteriously appeared and disappeared very quickly then why can’t we be more proactive and have loads of ballboys dotted around to shovel the ball quickly back to our players.

And only one ball, what’s that all about.

 

[eastmanc]

Because the stats show he booked the keeper. The fact he left it until so late was entirely predictable

It was, everyone sat around us were saying that he would book him right near the end of the match and he did, he should have booked him after their first goal as the time wasting was so obvious.

Laporte held the attacker & its deemed a red if no covering player, if not the last man it’s a yellow. That’s how we are reffed different we play teams with 10 players behind the ball so they do this constantly & yet yellows aren’t given. They can foul with impunity & yet we are harshly judged for playing attacking football. Not only are they very rarely given yellows but now the refs are saying play on when committed against us.
Basically the decision is made not on the type of infringement but the amount of space around the players.

 

[cheekybids]

The palace player who received treatment with the game stopped for 1:30 So effectively allowed 30secs
Time keeping needs taking out of the hands of the refs ball out not in play clock stopped Most matches ball is in play for 30 mins

& we Fcking gave them the ball back, they came & cheated at every opportunity & we duly oblige.

VAR almost always backs up the decisions made by the on field ref, the real issue is that the default setting for most refs when making decisions that look "debatable" in our games almost always end with a negative conclusion for us...

...NOT A PENALTY FOR US
...DEFINITE PENALTY AGAINST US
...OFFSIDE AGAINST US
...RED CARD FOR US
...etc...etc...etc
(all decided really quickly and delivered with a flourish)

which VAR then agrees with.

Clear as day.

I was thinking about this and comparing what Eric did with JFE at the Arsenal game.

No doubt we are reffed differently.

Mariner is the type of ref that makes football not enjoyable, time wasting is the scourge of the game. He seems to take great delight in getting fans wound up and time wasting is what winds most fans up.

I said the same. There’s a hell of a lot of people who have turned away from football, and a hell of a lot of young people who don’t like it from a young age, because of two main areas…

Football is proper fucking boring half the time. The ball is in play for an average of just 56 minutes a game. That’s over 1/3 of the entire game, over half a fucking hour, where there are thousands of spectators in stadiums watching 23 blokes stand still on some grass.

And this is every single game in the sport. IT’S FUCKING BORING!

The other area is the diving and feigning injury.

 

[Keeper!]

The only issue yesterday was time wasting, I have no issue with Palace doing it, it';s up to the Ref to cut it out at the first opportunity.

Their keeper should have had a warning , followed by an early yellow card.

Apart from that, Laporte was a red card in the letter of the law and Foden was offside.

I think he allowed them to foul at will without risk of a booking, gave us advantage when there wasn’t one.

Repeating old arguments about the used of clinical examination of offside decisions but, for me Phil wasn’t offside as the Lino couldn’t see it with the naked eye so, the dubious technology was used to gain an advantage for the defender
Dubious because of the frame rate and the point of which frame to use to determine when the ball was kicked is chosen
I dont even think Laporte fouled the cheating whinging arsehole that is Zaha
Riley said that VAR was going to be used different for offside this season, not from what I’ve see it isn’t
If the letter of the law is applied to those to incidents then why did the fishy mariner not apply it to the time wasting, as you rightly point out

Not for me, it was very close but sadly he was off.

Mariners a **** anytime he is involved in a city game.

He makes Mossy look competent
