Dowd

[Balti]

no wonder we lost ffs

Standard Bluemoon response when we get beat. Blame someone else!

No one is blaming him for the defeat but we should be entitled to a reasonable refereeing performance.

He's a c**t Col. It pretty much passed under the radar because we beat West Ham on the final day anyway, but that fat fuck did his level best to try and hand Liverpool the title over at Klanfield last May. The Dippers were 1-0 down when Dowd first sent off Newcastle's Dummett for a completely accidental collision with Suarez on the half way line, and then later awarded Liverpool a free kick on the edge of the Newcastle box after a Suarez dive, which they duly equalised from. Ameobi (well documented as a non-swearing Christian), was then booked for the mildest of mild protests about the dive as Newcastle were about to restart the game in the centre circle, and turning away shaking his head in disbelief, was promptly shown a second yellow and a red, leaving the Geordies down to 9 men......and of course they duly went on to lose 2-1. There was a title riding on that game, and even if you were prepared to accept that Dowd's handling of it was incompetent rather than deliberate cheating, there's still the issue of his complete lack of respect or appreciation for the occasion. The bloke's an utter bastard, one of my most hated officials of all time. Right up there with Mason and Walton

Brilliant post. Just because we fulfilled our side of things shouldnt detract from his suspicious 'performance' that day.

If we'd lost many of us would have watched the Liverpool game to torture ourselves and consequently (rightly) blamed Dowd for cheating us out of a title.

Question to bluemooners

Are those idiots that justify every crap officiating against City the same idiots that deny the existence of a media bias against City?

If such the case, it makes sense.

He's a rotund, cheating, degenerate motherfucker. But mostly a bent, cheating ****. And a cheat.

Spot on, mate. Never gets mentioned but that was the most blatantly bent bit of refereeing I can remember.

He's cheat alright.

What is wrong is he's still employed. If we can see it why can't his bosses? Unless of course .............

 

[We're not really here]

My Op said no excuses. I've changed my mind having mustered the courage to watch the highlights! Fat cheating fucking shit! Two pens, the handball in particular a fucking stonewall pen. He knew it as well, he looked at his liner two miles away to confirm it but he fucking knew alright.

I'm no fan of Dowd, and feared the worst when he was appointed. Gave us little in the first half, but then seemed to give a lot of soft decisions our way in the second half, until the last five minutes. Anyone blaming him for our defeat today, though, is being ridiculous. We deserved to lose regardless of the ref. The linesman, on the East Stand side, was awful though.

No one will convince me that if he had awarded us a pen for handball, which I'd argue he should have (wasn't he the twat that penalised Micah for handball in LCSF v Dippers?), and Sergio had put us ahead that we would not have deserved the lead or that the game might well have had a very different outcome.

Exactly, he's only following orders

That's the rub, if we go in front we are (usually) a much better side as we can pick our moments against a side that can no longer defend en masse.

The difference the first goal would've made against Boro and even Arsenal would been enormous.
