Referees’ Performances 2018/19

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

You sir should be banned from giving your opinion on anything football if you believe the Silva incident was not a penalty !

It begs the question, though, that if Silva's wasn't a pen, why do we have penalties awarded against us that are nowhere near meeting the requirements of a penalty being awarded as the foul on Silva?

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Last season Martin Atkinson waved away the most blatant penalty and red card I have seen in over twenty years. His performance today doesn't surprise me.

 

[Gordyola]

Sergio's was simulation. watch the replay and he wasn't touched.

You are wrong. Difficult for Atkinson to see, as most things were today, but his left foot was clipped by a Wolves player forcing the stumble there was also sufficient contact by the pull on his right shoulder

 

[Mikejl]

So I make that 5 penalties in a row that Atkinson has not given us... You can say benefit of the doubt but laws of probability my disagree, oh and there’s goal wasn’t just handball it was flipping offside too - still our fault for not converting the chances but it’s uphill battles against bent shit like this that make it so frustrating

 

[FantasyIreland]

The ref was wank but he got both penalty claims correct.

Yeah, its funny how the refs are never in the right position to see our pens, yet they have no difficulty seeing Salah clipped or any opponent against us.

I feel Wolves are being given more credit than they are due. Excluding the handball, they had 1 shot on target the whole match. We had 71% possession, 6 shots on target and 3 against the woodwork. That's about as one-sided as you can get.

Wolves had a couple of chances in the first half, but they created fuck all in the 2H and their "goal" came completely against the run of play.

 

[waspish]

Isn’t Atkinson the top referee for not giving pens to anyone? It’s like he won’t make a tough decision just runs around a field picking up his 50k a year utter shite referee!

We need promotion and relegation of referees because we seem to have the same referees for fcuking years.

 

[Jamoid]

Today proved why no English officials went to the World Cup.
How the fuck the linesman can't see a WHITE ball hit a BLACK arm then he should not be on the list of officials

 

[lasereyes]

Even if he somehow didnt see the handball, it was fucking offside also!

Kinda equivalent to the Sterling molesting by Alexander-Arnold in the CL where even Slippery Stevey said it was a double penalty

 

[lasereyes]

The ref was wank but he got both penalty claims correct.

Three questions:
1. Did the defender barge into David Silva in the penalty box?
2. Did the defender clip Aguero's heels?
3. Was the contact on Aguero more or less than on Salah last week?
