Ref Watch

[FantasyIreland]

Oliver was shite.

He was doing his upmost to break our momentum in the first half,and as above,despite the scoreline.....he was very much showing Fulham bias with his decision making.It was clear as day from the off he was determined to show Rodri a yellow,

Players regularly dive, feign injury, waste time, appeal for everything- basically cheat.
But we have a go at the refs

Isn't it up to the refs to clamp down on that little lot though? It's not like the players are going to take any notice of a fans forum.

Wonder what Alty has been instructed to do today?

So players cheat but it’s the refs fault for not stopping them?

Yes.

God knows who this Tony Harrington on Var is, reffed 1 championship match in total since the start of 2023 and 1 game as 4th official at Brentford v Fulham.
Inexperienced Var official so nothing Oliver decides will probably be overturned if wrong

Interesting...just dropped in the thread and this is where it opened for me....soothsayer @hertsblue but probably not what he thought the VAR issues would be.

 

[geoff hammond]

Yes.

Fair enough.
And the scumbag who breaks into your house and robs you - it’s not his fault, it’s the old bill for not preventing him

I haven’t got the images to post but it’s fucking unbelievable that the former referee Dermott Gallagher claims Akanji was in Leno’s eyeline but Salah wasn’t in the Villa keepers when he’s stood there looking at the exact opposite scenario. Don’t get me wrong, I think Akanji was offside and Fulham were unlucky in that decision, but he (Gallagher) then said Akanji “clearly attempts to play the ball” when he jumps over the thing to get out of the way!

PiGMOL discretion - pefectly reasonable approach :)
