For some reason failed to book Mitrovic in the first half when he pushed Dunk over as he was attempting to take a free kick quickly. Also failed to book a player for deliberate handball. Rubbish.

Excellent ref.
The premier refs are a million times better than some of the clowns we had in the championship.

Takes some neck to complain about a ref who gave us two penalties.

Normally a one man circus. Was fine today. Stayed out the game for long periods and took until the 60th before I’d paid any attention to him

Premier League referees often officiate in the Championship.
It's a myth that they're 'better' up here because they also ref down there.

Was spitting with this. Why give the free kick then decide to blow - the ball isn’t in play so the kick should be taken.
I actually thought he was very weak and a pretty shit ref - irrelevant he correctly gave us 2 pens. In fact I’m not sure he did - Lino gave second one luckily.

The ref wasn't going to give the second penalty for the handball but the Lino was very vociferous so he couldn't ignore it.

Played advantage for Fulham a couple of times, decided not to for us and the booking of Murray was ridiculous. Both penalties were nailed on so he’d have been plain cheating if he hadn’t given them. Luckily the linesman was waving his flag like a maniac for the second, which he wasn’t going to give. Seemed very happy to book Albion players but not Fulham ones. Other than that he was fine

Thought he was ok although any ref that isn't simon hooper or mike dean is usually ok...

or Jon Moss although in all fairness to him Moss is too incompetent to be able to cheat
Exactly. Giving a free-kick to a team is not really helping them if you're not going to let them take it
He also should have given a couple of yellows to Fulham in the first half, but otherwise he was fine.
I'm yet to see MOTD but there was nothing lucky about it.
The Family Stand would have rioted if the lino hadn't given it.

He was waving but didn't put his flag across his chest which I thought they were supposed to do as a signal for a penalty?

Looking at the rerun on game of the day last night, I don't think it was a case of knowing there were a few seconds left, giving the free kick, then blowing for full time. He looked at his watch after giving the free kick, so I think he just realised after giving the kick that he'd lost track.
Again, watching the game back on sky, the ref was actually quite quick to blow his whistle. I don't know if he just responded to the linesman quickly, but It wasn't exactly a contentious decision, it is probably harder not to give it. So I think he probably would have given it.
Not any more. I think it changed before the last season (may have been the one before that), now they're just supposed to wave their flag, then indicate the direction of the decision.
