Andrew Kitchen

[GrahamC]

Absolutely destined for the Prem.

Denied us at least one obvious penalty, allowed Chowdury to commit three yellow card offences & still didn’t book him & couldn’t get the card out quickly enough for Wells.

Vardy’s late one on Max was a booking every day of the week too.

Rubbish.

He was bloody useless for both sides.

I said to my dad I think the bloke has Vardy pyjamas. Couldn’t wait to give them decisions.

Rubbish? He was worse than that.

[Clevedon Red]

Gave absolutely nothing first half the went on the rampage on the 2nd dreadful performance.

[Open End Numb Legs]

I am generally in favour of refs letting the game flow but he didn't want to make the big calls in the box, particularly for us. Not biased, just too passive. As said, would do well with VAR to make those calls for him. Think he will be a bit embarrassed when he sees the coverage, of course, a ref is only as good as their assistants, if they don't step up.....

[Tony Tootle]

Linesman had a better view of the penalty shout in the first half and should’ve been flagging for it IMO

[steviestevieneville]

Young ref that was star struck . We should have had two pens . One on dickie & wells . Not sure about Tommy’s

The one on Dickie? Ref had best view.

I was on about Conway one although haven't watched the game back so maybe it would've been soft

That was the sort of foul the refs were supposed to be clamping down on. The defender never looked at the ball, sign him for The Bears.

Yes, have now seen the highlights and definitely should have been given.

[Wanderingred]

He’s named after the wrong room in the house. Andrew Toilet is more apt. 

[Midred]

Would he have given them for Leicester,  almost certainly!

Tug continued into the box then he clipped his heels.  TC should’ve made more of it. As should Tanner from Justin’s high challenge.

[Offside]

I was really annoyed with the linesman as well with the penalty not being given for the foul on Conway - it was blatant and right in front of him.

Agree Dave , this is where players like vardy and the more experienced players get penalties etc , being clever ,

max could also of made more of the vardy challenge , saying that if you watch again the ref actually reacted to the crowd noise he didn’t see the incident , you see him look back after the foul took place , 

[Red Billy]

Cant seem to put my finger on exactly what it is but when ever we have a pen claim it always look like  we’ve gone down to easily.  Even when it’s a stone wall pen on the replay we always make it look like we’ve dived.

Just NO!

[Dr Balls]

It was a generally poor refereeing performance but unfortunately what we have come to expect at this level. The worst part about is that the supposed “big team” is always given the benefit of the doubt whether it be fouls committed or those challenges that suddenly become “fouls” when it’s the supposedly “lesser” opposition that are penalised. And it doesn’t just happen in the Championship, this bias is obvious in the Premier League and even international fixtures. And it’s the lack of consistency that really riles supporters. I am sure Leicester would say the same happened when they faced Manchester City. It’s an inherent bias of the officials.

As my son said Tommy had his shorts pulled so hard that we could see his boxers. Blatant penalty! I can accept that the ref maybe can't see that, but the lino was dead in line and less than twenty yards away.

 

[1960maaan]

I thought he was a very , big club fan. Seemed to give them a lot of easy decisions.
I was impressed he booked ours for the first fouls , yes they were fouls , but  there were about 5/6 fouls on Mehmeti  that weren't bookings. 
I'm not sure about some of the Penalty shouts . The Dickie one was a good shout , but the rest I'm not so sure.

It continued into the box, so it would have been a penalty 

[Severn Beach Pigeon]

Posting this seperate, but it will likely be merged with my last post.

 

If a foul is outside the area, but the player falls in the area- freekick.

If a foul starts outside the area, but the contact continues inside the area, then it's a penalty. Regardless of where it started.

In theory, Faes could have been tugging on Conway's shorts all the way from inside our own half. Once Conway is past the edge of the penalty area, it becomes a penalty offence.

He could have started his run anywhere and been beheaded in the box by faes and still not been a penalty with that ref 

[Mr Popodopolous]

Just watching EFL Highlights, WBA one given at Millwall.

If that was a penalty then both of the ones on Conway and Dickie very much were. Didn't look a great amount of contact but Bryan on Diangana is the benchmark, threshold.

Lots of Sunderland fans saying their penalty was soft too albeit I thought it was perhaps justified.

Conway was 100% a penalty, not even debateable.

I thought Mr Kitchen was terrible, as was the lino by the Lansdown.

Can’t believe Lansdown has Lino, he’ll have Karndean surely!

[Red-Robbo]

Apparently Mr Kitchen is aware of the obscure FA rule that says Hamza Choudhury is allowed to come flying in two footed from behind on any player, but if anyone in a red shirt does the same it's a foul. 

[Bazooka Joe]

That Kitchen will certainly be feeling the heat on here.

Best for him to stay out.

Rubbish.

I could not agree more. 
 

If I was a player, supporter or exec of Leicester I would be embarrassed at how biased the ref was. How Dickie was not a pen I don’t know, but that seemed to become the benchmark.
 

We could have had a player clubbed in their box and it would have been deemed 50/50 due to the forward having a head. 
 

To be seen as that ‘poor’ on national tv is bound to create questions! 

[handsofclay]

To be fair to Mr Kitchen he misunderstood the news that Leicester will escape any punishment this season.

I don't think Stroud is that bad generally. He had one atrocious match officiating at AG and supporters seem to remember him from that. His more recent efforts were decent.

It seems a bit of a coincidence that both Kitchen and Kettle are poor however. If we get a ref called Toaster coming here, watch out!

But yes you could have had 2 penalties or certain a free kick /red card for Leicester .

Again we find our questioning the standard of officials this season and above all their consistency!!

if Vyner or Dickie had grabbed Vardy shorts 100% Kitchen points to the spot !

As for the Dickie shout I refer back to an incident when Pring made little or no contact and the Ref points to the spot. 
Let’s face it consistency is a real problem

Yep exactly. Penalty all day long if Vyner or Dickie on Vardy.

Dickie one will need to watch back..wasn't there a handball in the also missed or was it ball to hand.

Was just thinking about that, Pringy had a hand on the arm and was deemed to have kept it their to long/pulled it back if i remember correctly. 

Yet having two hands wrapped round dickie whilst looking in the opposite direction of the ball, a charging elbow into the back of the shoulder with no intention of playing the ball and an obvious shirt pull (most debtable as it seemed to start outside the box) are all waved away. 

I don’t mind if referees are soft on fouls or hard, just be consistent!

The West Brom and Sunderland penalties yesterday both looked softer than the ones that we were denied.

[Mr Popodopolous]

Little arrogant and one eyed but then this is from a Leicester page on the Dickie shout.

Apparently the penalty shout was due to Dickie and the dark arts.

I forgot skimreading this thread, about the foul by Vardy on O'Leary. Blatant booking that was disregarded as Graham rightly said.

Choudhury too was fortunate, did he get booked in the end?
