Ref Watch

Absolutely lamentable refereeing performance. Never got hold of their time wasting. The time added on was about 7 mins short in total. Got the pen wrong, the eager fat fucker couldn’t fuckin wait to give it - you could sense his excitement.

I had Atkinson saying in my head "You've fucked up Fatty. Waddle over to the screen and over turn it!"

I am absolutely amazed he went against his original decision for the penalty.

I think he remembered not giving us one last season at that end.

Moss is very poor I’m amazed he’s still on the list The “best” league in the world with the worst refs Mike Riley has a lot to answer for but never seems to be asked the questions

Time wasting all first half, a long injury, a substitution… 2 mins added on.

Time wasting all second half, two long injuries, two very long VAR decisions, six substitutes… 5 minutes added on (ended up being seven).

There should have been about 5 mins added on in the first half and 9 in the second. The time keeping in this sport is absolutely fucking pathetic!

Any decent referee gives the penalty but waits before producing a red card as he knows it will be reviewed....not this clown he could not wait to send Walker off and in doing so made himself look totally stupid.
In a week where Alty fan Taylor managed to wrongly send someone off it highlights how poor our refs are. I mentioned in the Rag thread for Young Boys, PR7 went down like he had been shot. Moss, Taylor and the rest would have given them a penalty, fortunately it was a foreign ref.

Which goes back to the oft-argued point that there should be an independent timekeeper (as in other sports) whose job is to start and stop the clock whenever the ball is not in play. Foul/corner/goal kick/penalty/injuries, etc, the clock stops when the whistle is blown, and starts again when the ball is kicked to recommence play. Matches still to be 45 ACTUAL minutes each half, as after the initial shock of having to play 90 minutes, time wasting should stop, as there would be no reason to time waste, as it's their own time they're wasting. They are, after all, professional athletes.
The time remaining per half should be prominently displayed as a countdown clock for all to see.

EDIT: In your dreams!

Ref Waits half an hour to warn them about time wasting. Then when he does he walks half way across the pitch to tell the keeper, doesn’t book him, and makes him wait til he’s waddled back to the half way line to take the goal kick. Literally tells him (half arsed) to stop time wasting while he does it for them.

And falls for the age old trick/is complicit talking to the Soton players in general conversation so he doesn't have to take action on timewasting.....should have been 5 mins + 8/9 mins however, he was probably fucked from waddling about and needed to get off the pitch.

Classic game management.
