[Football] Brookes worst ref in prem?

[El Turi]

I see De Zerbi has said he doesn’t like 80% of English referees. He’s completely right. All Premier League referees are arrogant with no obvious understanding of football.

I'm not sure about this referee today but what is shocking is the lack of consistency from ref to ref.

Against Fulham the ref blew to stop play every time a Fulham played laid prone on the pitch , today the ref waived play on when Joao Pedro laid down clutching his head. What is the actual rule concerning this and why is it not applied consistently across the Prem ?

He was clutching his back, having had 2 knees smashed into it.

Didn’t get much wrong today.

We lost not because of the ref. Get over it.

Blimey did we lose ? and I stayed to the final whistle !

 

[Seagull58]

He was ok by Prem standards. Way better than Salisbury, Atwell and Bankes, better than Taylor, on a par with Mariner, Atkinson and a few others. We could have had a pen and they could have had a couple more yellows.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I thought he did alright really.

didn’t have match to do and ignored a lot of histrionics from Pedro and a few of their players.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Ref was dreadful surprised to see how many are defending him. The red card aside, we weredenied a clear handball pen, the yellow cards were not dished out evenly. Once he sent Dahoud off he was giving them everything.

That said we should have been clear at halftime, but there isn’t way I‘m cutting the ref any slack for his second half performance

 

[theboybilly]

Stop this ref bashing now, please.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Don’t know what he did wrong to deserve this thread?

He certainly wasn’t to blame for our failings today that led to us not beating one of the poorest teams in PL history.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Needs to be extended to the officials as a whole. The penalty shout was nailed on handball. Another VAR howler. Ref got the red correct though and most other calls.

This.

VAR is supposed to support referees….

At that moment he needed support, clear penalty IMO.

 

[Rookie]

The general standard of the referees in the league is dreadful. It seems they have got so much worse in the last few years and probably since the introduction of VAR

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Shit ref It was his fault that our CB's couldn't see beyond the 5 yard pass to midfield all day, especially as the forward 4 were making great runs.

 

[BN41Albion]

The Blades supporters hated him until the red card, increasing angry at his 'Albion bias'.

He was fine today.

But the NSC tradition after a non-win, days of blaming the ref. Now, where's that Ignore Thread button?

I loved their 'Premier League, corrupt as fook', chant I know we're a bigger club than we were not so long ago but I didn't realise we'd reached the dizzy heights of being a super club that the PL is supposedly bias towards

 

[The Oldman]

Thought he was ok. Got most things correct including the red card. Pedro deserves an Oscar for his antics.

 

[Bish Bosh]

Two words...Stuart and Attwell

 

[BluesRockDJ]

I've seen worse referees than Brookes at the Amex this season.

But have you seen any better ?

 

[Justice]

Remember this is the idiot that drew the wrong line at shitehurst, closet Palace fan?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

He actually got a nasty knee in the back, when I saw the highlights, dirty, snidely challenge by the Sheffield player.

Completely unnecessary
