[Albion] Worst refereeing performance since...?

[Han Solo]

Putting his leg in an unnatural position so that Mitoma’s arm which seemed to have incredible strength in bringing him down

Nah not that clever... looked like he was already slightly off balance and the small touch from Mitomas arm/shirt finished him off.
Imo in the category "contact but not enough to warrant a penalty"... no faul and no dive. Bad call from the ref first, sensible decision after review.

Yes they got the right decision in the end…one up tick for VAR

So what? This was a football game, not a service at a mosque.

Twat

I don't think we can blame the referee for this defeat. We weren't at our best today. We really needed to score during extra time while we were in the ascendancy. Nothing to do with the ref.

Apart from two blatant blocks on our players which went unpunished ?

 

[BluesRockDJ]

Is that what it was? Seriously? Fair enough. A bit of in-stadium explanation wouldn't have gone amiss tho. Most folks around/including me were left puzzled and - has to be said - unimpressed

Couldn't agree more

Compare those to the hundreds of things we didn't do well enough.

Think you'll realise when you sober up, that you're the twat ?

Eh!? for not being a bigoted arsewipe? OK

One of his worst decisions was not playing advantage when Yates rugby tackled Gruda. I think we had a 2 on 1 situation.

Is that an advantage though? We've had 4 on 1 before - and look where that ended up.

Nah. You're being an utter twat. You may also be a twat too. That's for you to reflect on.

Silly ‘statistic’

Precisely. If 95% of home fans object to a referee's judgement call that went in favour of the opposition, what were the other 5% doing?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

135 posts to discuss whether when referees possibly make a bad decision it is reason enough to conclude that we were robbed,
or whether when we don't play at out best this may possible contribute to a result that is not what we wanted,
sprinkled with sub-debates on whether one is entitled to one's own opinion (or, presumably, entitled to someone else's?)

f*** my old boots.

Anyway, I woke up today realizing that I'm quite sad that we were knocked out of the cup.
It seems my reaction these days is always to mull over it for a bit before lashing out.
Probably for the best.
My take is Fab set up to do the opposite of what cost us a 0-7 tonking,
and as a result we lacked an attacking cutting edge.
But we did avoid a tonking.
It was what it was.

Did you see how long the ref took looking at the screen before he reversed his decision. He really really wanted the penalty to stand imo

 

[ROSM]

I've said it somewhere else but I'm convinced even without var he would have changed his decision as the senior refs asst had already told him it was an error.

I've also said elsewhere that Bankes is the kind of ref who deals with symptoms bot causes. There are 3 or 4 other top refs who would have clamped down on the forest approach earlier. Kavanagh and Oliver being 2 examples.

Did his performance cost us the game? No. Did it impact the game? Yes totally

He could have made it stand in that case. Instead made a controversial decision to our benefit.

 

[Flounce]

He could have made it stand in that case.

Hmm, he might have had a problem explaining it away to the panel who oversee decisions, given he was given the chance to accept his error/bias. It was clearly NOT a penalty

Certainly tried though. I was in the stand watching him and he took way too long to agree with VAR imo.
