The officiating today was bordering on criminal , how many times did West Ham players go unpunished for fouls and the penalty on Sterling was diabolical , the fact we won 4-1 despite the ofiicials just shows how good this team is , the saving grace is that over 38 games we have time to turnaround horrendous referee performances unfortunately as we have found out , when 4 or 5 decisions go wrong in a quarter final , it is impossible to turn over that amount of bias
He's the main VAR Man as well.
Nice to see Pep in the post match interview still let everyone know just how much we got fucked over in the 2 games v the Dippers as well when asked about the Raz penalty.
Although it will fall on stoney ground with bent cnuts at the FA / PGMOL.
I also enjoyed the Ya Ya free kick near the end, when Swarsbrick walked back 8 paces instead of 10, and then after the West Ham players had near enough got into position just in front of him, walked back around in front of them (and thereby knocking another yard off) to draw his line. Surprise, surprise, Ya Ya's shot then hit the wall!
I literally can’t see why how he missed the pen of Sterling. He was looking right at it and the ball moved in the opposite direction to the defending player’s momentum! I can kind of see why West Ham didn’t get their one as the player fell outside of the box, though the tackle was just inside.
