[Football] Zerbi kicking off

How soon is now?
I’m glad de Zerbi has shown a bit of passion. The ref lost the game for around 10 mins in the second half, but it was still nil nil at that point. We lost the ball in the centre circle with a mix up between MacAllister and Undav(I think), and they scampered off and scored. We’ve always been vunerable against counter attacking teams, as we’re not quick at the back
Like the ref!
De Zerbi doesn’t agree. I’d wager he was closer to the action than you

Terrible ref, any Fulham player going down and holding their head game stopped, Brighton player goes down, play on. I also believe that the ref created a new PL record for the number of times he blew his whistle.
If I was De Zerbi I would appeal the red card, as I fail to see how you can be red carded for stating a fact, which is not connected to the ref's performance.
Howard Webb sacked one ref this week, and perhaps after to-day another one should follow also.

With our substitutions we were always going to be open to the counter attack. I prefer that we went for it at home with this as a potential outcome than be happy with a nil-nil.
If De Zerbi was given a red card for saying that then the ref has really proved that he is a c@nt.
the biggest shortfall in the ref’s performance was not dealing with the feigning of injury by the Fulham players, breaking up the flow of the game. Our Roberto is a purest and he’ll have wanted to say something, especially after last week’s clear cut mistake.
I’m glad we have him as our manager rather than someone who sits on the fence.

Fair play RDZ - he was atrocious and thick as shit to fall for all their play acting and time wasting. Fulham we’re absolutely terrible - anti football and we played alright and dominated. It’s one of them - take it square on the chin and remember why the wins feel so good - and also remember justice when we finish above that anti football shower of cheating shit.

Was that it?! Did he hurt the referee's feelings, or something? Hardly a red card offence, surely?Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi, who received a red card at the final whistle, speaking to BBC Sport: "I told the referee that I lost time in the meeting with his boss this week. Nothing more."

Darren England should thank his lucky stars it was only de Zerbi, not the out of control demented psychopath that was Chris Hughton! 
I'm sorry but how can you not come away from that game shaking your head at the standard of refereeing and Fulham's obvious anti football tactics. Someone on here prewarned us that it was a tactic they employ (so do Wolves) but it is beyond frustrating watching it and the ref falling for it time and time again.
Such a shame that someone within the Fulham camp has looked at the rule that the ref needs to stop the game if their is a serious injury and has thought "hello we can exploit this to our advantage" - it comes from the manager and is a clear instruction to employ it during games
Still if we had been more clinical it would have been overlooked by I can fully understand RDZ kicking off straight after an undeserved loss.

THey're a sensitive bunch
imagine how nervous you'd be if someone threw you on the big stage, on tv as well, in front of millions . . . .having to do something you know you can't do.
We'll take that as "I wasn't there so didn't see the refs performance".
Suspect there were a few more adjectives in what he said, even if that was the gist of it

Never late in a V8
Watched the highlights, twice ref stopped play when a Fulham player went down,but they were not head injuries. Mitoma was a shirt pull
Agreed. Our final ball into the box and weak finishing cost us today, and going Gung Ho when we might have protected a point didn’t help. Continuing to play high risk football when Webster and Estupinan had been replaced by attacking players was an accident waiting to happen.
De Zerbi didn’t do us any favours, getting too wrapped up in what’s happening in and around him.
