It was strange, unless something happened off camera, which I suppose can happen, however the players looked confused, and dinho was smirking as if to say you haven't got a clue
It was also taken 10 yards away from where the supposed foul was committed.
That was my take entirely.. The look on Dinho's face just delivered a superb summary of referees' competence!
It's the love of brown envelopes not football that allegedly gets the heart fluttering.
I was thinking that once Covid backs off we would be 'treated' to the latest iteration of 'must-see' televisual viewing "I'm a PL ref; Get Me Out Of Here!"
It’s pay back time, he clearly was the last boy picked when doing teams at school, never had a girlfriend, and the big boys constantly flicking his ears led him to make a pact that he would get even one day
Yeah, but Mr Whippy only touched his arm to attract the miserable bastard's attention, he never got to the point where he flicked his ear. I was quietly informing the telly "Don't kick 'im in the scrotum, Ilkay, just don't do it, even if yer need to ask him 'Ref, WTF is going on?"
Exactly. Not just him either. I’ve watched Oliver refereeing some games and he looks like he’s being sent to the gallows. Terrified.
Did nobody else hear the fourth official screaming down Mason's ear when he should have sent off Luiz for the foul on Aguero? This is one of the reasons why we never hear what refs are saying on a VAR interlude. Some pillock would leave the mic on and we'd hear from, say Blind Pugh to Blind Bat, "No, Nooooooooooooooo! Yellow, yer bald-headed half-wit, no one is off unless the shirt is blue, Are yer colour blind yer fuckin' moron!" And then, quietly, surreptitiously, like a shoplifter in C&A, the whistling wanker looks around, hums YNWA, and gives a throw-in to the nearest team to him!
That was the Alty fan.
Yer right - I must have been blinded by the sun shining off a bald pate! I wondered when I typed Mason, whether it was The Alty Tit.
I think he was saying Bernardo was fouled before the throw was taken, so a re-take. Could be wrong. Was out of his depth tho clearly, even to at times it wasn't an easy game to referee
Well it's not an easy gig.
Well no, I suppose balancing your judgements against how the media is going to react to them is a difficult job. I suppose I’d have more respect if they were more decisive and a bit more like this fella. If you didn’t like his decisions he’d tell you to go fuck yourself.
Roger Milford.Thought that because the foul occured before the throw-in was actually taken that the ref made us re-take it. Similar to what they do for corners these days. That was my take on it anyway.
