Can’t argue with any of the replies regarding the cards, or lack of them, even Pope could of got one for time wasting in the first half hour. What I would say though, is how did Newcastle not get a penalty. It was just after they’d scored and it looked like Estupian was going to have one of their shirts off here it was pulled so much as we were defending a corner or free kick.

Burn has turned into a bit of a bell end, that swipe at Lamptey towards the end was a bit twatish.
What a surprise…
Dahoud was booked for asking for a yellow for a Newcastle player. It’s a new rule this year. Having said that, Attwell decided not to enforce it all game until that moment.

Ooh I have a plastic fanboy - notice you couldn’t provide evidence of a ‘hissy fit’ or me blaming the ref last week. Just ignored it cos you were wrong and being a knob as per - sad when you make false remarks then get called out eh
He also decided not to enforce the other 'new' rules this year - like retreating 10 yards, bookings for carrying/kicking the ball away - and so on. But that's not just him, it seems to have been dropped by all refs after just two weeks.

No complaints from me, although there really weren't any controversial decisions for him to make.
On a bad day, could have incorrectly given a pen against Dunk, and incompetent VAR wouldn't have overturned it.

Thought he could have played advantage better as well
That's just BS. There are times when we lose and posters lay into the culprits (players) and times when we win and still ctiticise the ref, because they've had a poor game.
Of the 20 PL teams last season, it's probably accurate to say that Brighton received the most (meaningful) decisions against them. It is ok to say that.
B-right-on
Living the dream
Based on the fact that we got more Howard Webb visits with official apologies, then, yes, utter BS
And still not as many official apologies as we should have had. eg, 1 apology for that Spurs game. ****ing joke.

He was weak and obviously had Spurs on his mind. Could have sent off Burn. Why did he book Dahoud? I assume for telling him he should have handed out a booking to a Toon player, which would have been the correct decision, saving Dahoud a booking
He was certainly not good imo

I think our expectations of Atwell were very low, so by that measuring stick, he did ok.
