[Albion] Pawson

[Gazwag]

I wonder if his wife has been let out of the suitcase yet, maybe it's only a stoning for the draw instead of a beheading

I have no idea what this result on a Google search means - can anyone clarify it, as it looks....erm...'iffy'?


"Craig Pawson (born 2 March 1979) is an English professional football referee who officiates primarily in the Premier League, having been promoted to the panel of Select Group Referees in 2013, as well as in the Football League. He is based in Newcastle and is associated with Newcastle Fc ."

When giving two non penalties aren't your worst mistakes you know you've had a shocker.

I put this on the main match thread but thought it works here too…

The guy behind me said that perhaps his wife had bought him a “referee experience” gift and he chose our game to use it.

 

[tigertim68]

I hardly ever moan about the ref , but that was the worse performance from a ref in the premier league I have seen ,

 

[Uh_huh_him]

As bad as the Atwell performance.

The Burn, non-foul was incredible.

The inconsistency in fouls given was ludicrous.

He probably had no choice but card Welbeck. Hopefully for calling him a cheating ****.

If you're going to rile up Welbz, then you've had a shocker.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I was pretty confident the 2nd was going to be over-turned from my view of it in the North Stand.

 

[El Turi]

I’ve never seen anyone so desperate to give a team a penalty. He fell for their diving (standard smug Eddie tactics) all afternoon yet failed to give O’Riley a penalty when he was giving those kind of decisions all afternoon.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Thank God for VAR, is all I can say.

He was so bad that we thought he was terrible and Newcastle fans thought he was terrible.

 

[jcdenton08]

One of the worst performances I’ve ever seen at the Albion in the premier league era.

Useless Mother****er is the best description I can think of.

Ha! Interesting detective work

He supports Sheffield United though


Premier League’s official match centre account tweeted a short statement on both overturns as if it was needed:

1. “57’ VAR OVERTURN - VAR checked the referee’s call of penalty for the challenge by Lamptey on Gordon and recommended that play restarted with a Newcastle free kick as the contact was outside the penalty area.”

2. “70’ VAR OVERTURN - VAR checked the referee’s call of penalty for the challenge by van Hecke on Willock and recommended an on-field review – with this deemed to be minimal contact and not sufficient for a penalty. Upon review, the referee awarded an indirect free kick to Brighton and issued a yellow card to Willock for simulation.”

Incompetence and poor refereeing but no conspiracy theories from me

Claims of bias against Craig Pawson show that football conspiracy theorists are out of control

Social media pundits have accused Pawson of an anti-Spurs and anti-Liverpool agenda over his 'reaction' to Harry Kane's injury-time winner against Man City

Cntish Dictator loved the look at me drama of pointing to the spot, for outside the box and dives.

Not sure what the Newcastle fans were complaining about. He gave every single decision their way.

They think Weiffer should’ve been sent off.

 

[albionfan37]

Cu nt of a ref tried his absolute hardest to get a geordie win, I’m actually surprised he let our goal stand the prick

 

[CHAPPERS]

It started so early with the non foul and booking when burn flattened minteh.

Weifer I did not think was a foul but if it was a foul then it has to be a yellow. Bruno not getting booked was incredible. Three bad challenges and not a single one a yellow.

We should also have had a pen. That was a clear foul. He stood across the defender to shield the ball and was kicked over. I assume VAR couldn’t send to screen again.

Guimaeres gets away with it every game.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Having got home and now watched back some bits I'm even more angry - 100% a booking for Burn early on which he didn't give a foul for and a yellow changes the game.
Both pens obviously incorrect.
Wieffer non 2nd yellow the only correct call of the day but it could have been given.
O'Riley pen there is 100% contact, he'd have given it to Newcastle and it would never ever have been overturned.
The Ayari handball is 100% but it wasn't a foul by JPvH so in essence another incorrect call.
An avalanche of appallingness and thats not allowing for the 50/50 calls of which he gave every single one against us. One of the very worst refereeing displays you will ever see and one of the very few where there is a genuine case to be argued of bias.

Fair enough, but what does "...associated with Newcastle FC" mean, and does he officiate a higher proportion of their matches as opposed to other PL teams?

 

[ROSM]

My own view (having not seen any replays)

- 1st one looked tight as to whether in or out the box.

- 2nd one - never a pen on 1st viewing as it lookma clear dive. Can't have claimed to have seen it either

- 3rd one, I didn't think it was a foul for the free kick. Haven't seen if it was a handball i.e. outside of natural body shape/moved to ball

Our pen appeal. I was sure it would be subject to a proper review (paused game, image on screen etc)..very surprised that didn't happen

Burn - can't believe it wasn't given as a free kick. I was sure it would have been a card too

Wieffer - surprised at 1st booking given Burn hadn't even been given as a foul. Second incident, I wasn't sure it was a foul in 1st place..suspect the red card check probably said that hence why no second yellow given but can't overturn the the decision of a foul.

Bruno - at least 2 bookings not given.

Tonali - man does he fall over easily.

Welbeck - must be bad for him to lose his temper. He was clearly pulled back.

So in summary a weak and inconsistent refereeing performance. I reserve the opportunity to change my mind once I've seen the incidents on screen
