Jack Dawe Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I just thought I'd started it now. Why wait until 5 o clock? We know he'll be shocking. And from Worcester or Walsall. Absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 James Linington from Isle of Wight. Geographically a good choice. Competence to be decided later today. Following last weeks ref coming from 30 miles from Newcastle, the ref for Newcastle v Brighton today is Keith Stroud from Hampshire. He is a Luton Town fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hertsexile Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Not sounding to good so far. Hope he an improvement from last week . A big crowd to perform for so not much hope. Let's hope his linesman understand the off side rule, and stop the throw in line walks for 10 yard gains !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixit Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Clearly thinks he should be officiating in the Premier League and wants to be friends with the unlucky Villa players who have been sentenced, like him, to playing in this grubby league. It's no surprise to me that he comes from the Isle of Wight, they'm a funny lot over there - think Forest of Dean.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Consistently inconsistent. There were patches he wouldn't give us anything then spells when he'd give us everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Best I've seen in a while. You can't ever get everything right but majority was good. Also really good in the discipline front. Perhaps players will start learning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Some mistakes, but nobody is perfect, unless you sit in the stand. Overall, I thought he was good as he booked the Villa players for fouls and dissent. Enforcing bookings for dissent is a new instruction this season and it's easy for refs to take the easy option and ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Seven yellows for Villa today . That'll cost them in the next month or two. Shame he didn't card Grealish for his shocking dive. If their #12 had done his little swallow dive at the same time they could have got a good score in the synchronised category. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that tackle had gone in on a red shirt we'd be crying out for him to be sent off. Two footed tackle from behind. You just can't do that nowadays.

I must admit I thought he was looking nailed on to get a second booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caseyeverett300 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 One thing I liked was the fact he didn't allow time wasting for either team and that is one thing that fustrates me so much when we are losing and teams do it against us was lovely to see us time wasting for a change.

Offside Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I thought the ref today was pretty good - much better than the one against Newcastle last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 We have to be honest (don't we? ). That was about as much as a "homer" ref as you could hope to see (whilst playing at home). The Bryan booking was borderline red for me. Immediately afterwards Bryan caught another player and could have got the second booking. The ref seemed to book their players for inconsequential tackles, that were fouls, but hardly dangerous or malicious. The only common denominator was that their fouls were within 10 yards of the box. Quite late in the second half, Gary O'Neil blatantly blocked their player on a breakaway but didn't get anything. The foul was in their half though so I guess that doesn't count. To summarise, I thought he was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Jr. Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Re Grealish diving, the ref did also wave away Tomlin's claims after he clearly dived in the first half, without booking him. That inconsistency was at least dealt out evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I also thought the free kick that COD got that Tomlin scored from was dubious at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I couldn't believe we had 5 minutes added on at the end of the second half. The reason being that only 3 minutes were added on in the first??, we had far more and longer stoppages in that half, a Villa player was down for at least 5 minutes in front of the Dolman, the players even had a drinks break while he got treatment.

Is time still being added on for subs etc? Sure there used to be a director that 30 seconds to be added for each goal and sub, which would work out about right.

Yes mate, it's not the fact 5 mins were added on at the end of the game, it's just that if its to be consistent then 7-8 mins should have been added at the end of the 1st half.

They say things even out in football. I remember the same referee giving Middlesbrough a similar dubious free kick in a similar area of the pitch in a live Sky game which they scored from and won the game so we were due that one.
