That first half was shocking. All through the first 45 minutes he was giving them free kicks for fouls that he was waving play on when exactly the same were challenges were being made against us.
As for the penalty, a good referee, if not sure (as clearly both he and the lino were), would be to at least pull it back for the clear foul on Gross after he played Murray in on a couple of seconds before.

Their defender wasn’t even looking at the ball and just dived over in front of Solly - ridiculous. Solly even held his hands up to show Mason he’s wasn’t fouling. Pathetic decision that - everyone went MENTAL!

worse still was that he changed the corner to a goal-kick! If it wasn't a corner because Shawcross didn't touch it then it was a stonewall penalty.
Shocking refereeing performance all night!

Very poor, looked lost with his decision making. He'll know he's had a shocker.

Fair to say that was by far the worst officiating we've seen at the Amex for a while. A risible performance from the ref and both linos. Showed no command of his role and lost the respect of all players very early on. He was routinely ignored by Stoke players at free kicks, throw ins and goal kicks. I don't like that side to Stoke's game which sets out to rile opponents but tonight they were given a helping hand by an unacceptably weak display from officials at this level. Credit to both teams for not letting things boil over which can easily happen when the referee loses control and respect. Poor show from him on which I hope he reflects.

strong and stable with me, or...
Stinker, just didn't get with the game play at all, as if he set out not to book anyone, so just allowed Stoke free reign on gamesmanship, and as well as missing as clear a pen as you might wish to see (how does his assistant not help there!?) misses fouls and bookings to them, but gives pathetic ones like March at the end.
Very poor.

I'm not normally one to knock the officials but I'll make an exception tonight. He was ****ing clueless.

If Mason yells ‘no pen’ into his earpiece on the spur of the moment then then the Lino won’t give it.
Shocking performance tonight, hope is withdrawn from his next game.

On reflection, and having calmed down a bit, it has to be said the ref and his lino's had an absolute shocker. That pen could and probably would have changed the game. He gave a free kick to Stoke for handball, it beggars belief. Everyone that watched it around the world saw a pen, the only two that didn't were the ref and the lino. These decisions can cost millions of pounds. Thank God we have video tech coming in next season. Also, Muzza's rash challenge for a deserved yellow was purely down to the pen, I doubt that challenge would have otherwise been made. Anyone that has played knows you will be riled by a bad decision. Shawcross agreed it was a pen. I like him, plenty of needle and annoyance, would be happy with someone like that in the Brighton line up. Also we were awful defensively tonight. That is very not us and we need to sort that for Old Trafford. or we'll get spanked. I think we deserved three points, but we didn't lose, despite the officiating. So, all in all, mildly happy.

To be fair, he did manage that. In the first half, he gave all the decisions to the team attacking the north stand; in the second, they went to the team attacking the south.

You obviously did not watch the match mate , Stoke got away with 2 fouls in the first minute , and that set the tone .
Blatant time wasting , blatant block on AK , blatant penalty missed , need I go on , ref was useless

Is it that they're both shit sticks, or that they stand up for each other?
Or, more likely, both.
