Ref Watch

Every time that Grealish laid off the ball to a teammate he was either clattered, clipped or pushed if a Bournemouth player was close enough to him. That's not to mention the ankle-breaker of a tackle that didn't even get a card (or even given as a foul). It has to be something more than just ineptitude, surely?

Agree. But he was still one of the best we’ve had in years. Its like its deliberate or something

Thought he was Bournemouth’s best player, to be honest.

I thought he was ok until half time, but came out having had his pigmol instructions for the second.

That Smith bloke is always a right dirty ****, could have had at least 3 yellows.

Yep certainly should have gone on countback, but I thought one of them was a srtaight red anyway.
 
The standard of refereeing in the EPL is awful.
VAR highlights the very obvious incidents that they have missed entirely.
Used to be funny that they were sponsored by ‘Specsavers’. They now need to buy some glasses.
Could they not be replaced by well trained chimpanzees???

They say a sign of a good referee is when you don't notice him (or her) during the game. Well we must have had a good one in our first game at West Ham, because there is not a single comment about the referee's performance in that game in this thread. So good referees do exist.

It was The Bottler! He was clearly pissed off with the last game of last season and couldn't give a tuppenny fuck about the West Ham game. Anyway, we play such boring, industrially sterile football that the wanker was probably wandering the pitch in a bout of sleep walking.

I did think Coote (no 'n') was fine in the first half, and having booked that guy after five, I thought he was gonna jump on any rough-house shite individual players were gonna try. Second half Coote reverts to type and enters the field as Coonte! The Cherries FB should have gone - he did nothing but infringe with every fuckin' tackle in the second half.

Anyone know what Dickhead Dermot has said today about the non red card? Was it that VAR was used correctly?

Yes he did. I agree. As the law is today it was the correct outcome. Cynical/tactical foul but not at the required level for a dismissal…. Fernandinho would have been proud of it
 
The balance this season is really against the skilful player who can go past people including these ridiculous fouls in our own half early in the build up. Newcastle and Bournemouth might as well have fielded 11 special forces guys and they'd still have just a few yellows.
 
Attwell, Tierney, Alti fan, Olivar and Pawson are our "elite" referees.

No wonder UEFA only give them the European version of zenith data system cup matches.a

Sorry that's bollocks. Ferny has done many cynical fouls but I don't remember him jumping in with both feet off the floor, out of control and making contact with another players knee.
KDB agrees with me by the way, watch his reaction
 
It’s a yellow card by the letter of the law.

  • Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed
  • Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned
  • Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off

There was no excessive force. It was a little tap on the side of the leg by the outside of Tripper’s toes/foot. I thought the Bruno foul on de Bruyne in the first half was worse, there was more force in it, and that too was just a booking as the force wasn’t excessive.

While it was a snidely, cynical, cheating (we were on the attack looking for a winner and that Bury wanker didn’t fancy chasing de Bruyne) foul, the right decision was come to and it is good for the game that it was.

When there is a real injustice we should be up in arms about it, but this wasn’t one.

The amount of times I’ve seen the words “out of control” and “off the floor” over the last few days shows how much everyone listens to pundits despite saying they can’t be doing with them and they all chat shit all the time. Those words are not in the laws of the game. Read the laws and stop listening to the pundits.

Complete rubbish, if its just a cynical foul and tactical why is he so high? if that was over turned for City Sky would of been outraged. Why single Fernandinho out? He was dirty but so are pretty much all dm in the pl. He is no different to Fabinho or Mctominay for example.
