This was my gripe. Clear and obvious dive - so book the **** - nothing. Banks was out of his depth.

[Albion] Worst refereeing performance since...?

Shocking ref. We get barely a sniff of a decision all game, then right at the end of the match he suddenly goes penno crazy and awards each team about 5 spot kicks each for what seemed like very little. Madness

weird thing was though that I didn’t see any player being fouled in between each kick

TBH, I'd rather VAR hadn't been there, and they had their penalty. It wasn't a bad enough decision to warrant over-ruling it - and we lost anyway, with our players knackered pre-Villa by having to play an extra pointless half hour.
Besides, if the goal* had stood, it might have spurred us into an effective retaliation (it has happened!)
*I'm assuming that Verbruggen wouldn't have saved the penalty, which would be the sort of bet that the bookies wouldn't be keen on!

It wasn’t until the last 10 minutes til we looked at it. To blame the ref for this and that is complete bollocks. They edged it physically and the bottom line is that we lost to a very good side.
Him twatting around pointing at his hand was just embarrassing.

He didn't seem that bad to me, I can't think of anything glaring he missed (apart from the penalty, which would certainly have been given on many occasions).
Lots of niggling fouls from both sides and lots of conning attempts made it a hard game to ref.
He didn't really affect the score, unless you count him not giving forest a pen.

Agree, but he had a nightmare.
A question, why was there a very long break with drinks at the touchline for the players, midway through the second half I think? No one around us in NS had the foggiest.

Yes, and the blatant obstruction was blatantly ignored.
Anderson should have been booked once the simulation became apparent.
I don’t get it, didn’t think he was that bad?
Just had ourselves to blame tonight, didn’t show up except for 10 minutes in the second half of extra time.

Wonder if those saying he was alright were there? Different perspectives but in the ground seemed to play with a no man’s land north midlands but not north shirt on?

Ha ha! Maybe you’re biased too? As I said earlier, he was irritating and far too Mr Important but he annoyed both sets of fans.
Added- yes I was there. TBH you’re more likely to get a balanced picture if you’re NOT there.
