Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[meeesh]

Fair enough. We got beaten as they scored and we didn’t. We had the opportunities to do so. We didn’t lose because of the referee.

It’s always easy to find a reason why our plucky side didn’t quite win, but it was our fault, not the referee’s.

He was a **** though, a weak one at that

I’ll agree, just to stop the ding dong do replies. He could have been better and could have been worse.

Amazing isn’t it, all the time wasting we have to put up with every game from the 1st minute and it’s Eddie who gets most cards.
All the antics by Klopp, Artega etc and it’s now Pep who gets the bookings.
We are officiated differently, look at Dippers, last 3 home games 42 fouls conceded 1 yellow card and compare that to the joke cards we are issued with.

Tonight was a home performance by a weak ref. How we ended up with 2 cards each given their persistent fouling, kicking the ball away which only finally got a card on 76 minutes. Joe Linton was a joke all night getting away with foul after foul after foul

 

[BringBackSwales]

Kavanagh was clueless. Let them waste time like fuck and let Joelinton kick us to fuck. I am going to spell Kunt with a K tonight in honour of Kavanagh

 

[BringBackSwales]

Kavanagh is right up there with Taylor Tierney and Atwell

I ain’t trying to say whose right or wrong nor do I want you to agree for sake, but he’s a poor ref that lad and showed again tonight, at least 3 times he put whistle to mouth and didn’t blow, and you know what saved him tonight ? I’ll tell you mate, having no var saved him

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

He was garbage tonight, but wasn't the reason why we lost. Bruno and Joelinton was allowed to just do as they please.

It 100% effects the outcome of tonight's game. When opposition players (Joelinton and others) were allowed to foul with impunity it gave them an UNFAIR advantage which effected the decision making of our players.

Why? The only challenge that would have been checked is when Phillips followed through on the top of the Geordie’s foot, close to the ankle, which is the borderline for a red card.

We moan when there is VAR and moan when there isn’t.

It’s the age old go to moan to criticise the ref when we lose. He might have been better, but he’s not influenced the result. Imho, of course.

Because he could make all his own decisions without being told something in his ear, plain and simple as that

But he didn’t. He had his assistants and 4th official chatting to him all game, like always.
