Ref Watch

[eboblue]

Best ref I have seen for years and years. Hardly noticed him.

Our last 2 games - 19 fouls committed by City......NO BOOKINGS!!

 

[Semper aggressus]

Good ref tonight, what a refreshing change it makes to a game when the officials are fair.

 

[JRockBlues]

That's all we want, a ref who officiates a game properly.

 

[deano ou812]

Credit where credit’s due he had a very good game bar the g.jesus foul,he was spot on refreshing change from the dross we get every other game,be expecting him to be demoted to the championship for a number of games now ..

 

[super_city_si]

Even handed ref. Refreshing.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

I'll add my name, I thought he was excellent.

 

[Rammy Blue]

He didn’t do anything wrong with the Jesus foul, it was never a red so what else can he do?

 

[Nascent Blues]

It was a red. The second motion of the foot was a stoods up scrape down the back of his Achilles.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Full-Time:
Watford - 33 attempted tackles, 10 fouls, 1 in 3.3.
City - 26 attempted tackles, 7 fouls, 1 in 3.71.

Evened it up 2nd half and didn't send Cathcart off, but other than that good ref. Not the one we were meant to have mind...

 

[deano ou812]

In my opinion I thought that was a bad tackle worthy of a red no intention from Cathcart to attempt to get the ball all about getting the man,think pep was onto the ref at full time about that seemed to be in a long conversation with him,but thankfully g.jesus is ok we got the win and 3 points so all is good ..

What utter bollocks, there was no malice whatsoever, he was just tripping him up.

He’ll be demoted back to the Championship next week

Think you need to take a look at it again it wasn’t great ..

 

[Nascent Blues]

Watch it again. If he 'had' just tripped him with the top of his foot, which I do actually think was his intention, I'd agree, but he doesn't and that's why Gabby was hurt.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

This game should have been reffed by Kevin Friend, who has been the worst ref for us in terms of points per game over a number of seasons. So much so that it stretches credulity that it's coincidence or random. And he was absolutely shit last time he had us (at Brighton) even though we won well.

I do wonder if the club have had a word. Hooper was excellent tonight.

 

[SK14BLUE]

Best refereeing performance in my opinion all season.

 

[wolviedinho]

Cant argue with the official. Apart from Jesus he dealt us a fair hand.

 

[Dodge]

Mate, take another look. Raked, studs up down his achilles.

Red all day long.

 

[Dodge]

So, apart from one of their players raking his studs down Gabbys achilles, in a potentially season ending challenge, he had a good game?

Wow.
