West Brom Post Match Thread

[pride in battle]

It was heartwarming to hear pretty much the whole ground give Gareth Barry the ovation he deserved last night. We never really got a chance to say goodbye to him and I hope he knows how much he's loved by us for his role in our success. Love that picture of him running after Zaba as they celebrate the first goal against QPR

Yes it was fantastic, loved him at City

Dermot Gallagher believes Matt Phillips should have been sent off for his challenge on Diaz

http://www.skysports.com/football/n...or-spurs-against-man-utd-have-been-disallowed

Incident: Matt Phillips only saw yellow for this challenge on Brahim Diaz, but was it a red card?



Dermot's verdict: Wrong decision, red card

Dermot says: If the referee [Robert Madley] has the view we have here, he will send him off every day of the week because it is high, late, at speed and likely to endanger the safety of an opponent. But if you go back to the original shot, what you will see is that the only justification for not giving that is Gareth Barry is immediately between the referee and the incident and he does not have a clear view of it. All he sees is the outcome of it, rather than the actual occurrence itself.

Dermot was right it should have been a red but tried to mitigate with the observation about Gareth Barry obstructing Blobbies line of sight. Is this the same ref that did not see Walkers alleged foul against Everton. He took instruction from pitchside and gave him his marching orders, I want to know why no such instruction came from Friend he could have been no more than 20 yards away. Stinks.

That's why they'll probably go down

They won't go down.

It’s the only way the bastards can stop us.
If they review it and ban Dinho without doing the same for McLean an Phillips then we definitely have proof the officials and the system are bent.
I don’t think they will dare risk it.

Very good point Burton..........

So who was stood between the assistant referee and the incident? no-one, so why didn't Madley consult and communicate with the linesman. If the ref didn't have a clear view as Dermot says, then he shouldn't be yellow carding him. He should only judge on what he sees not on the outcome, Dermot is just making excuses.

He must really be regretting his move away from the “Next Year” trophy winners.

Lol .
