[Albion] Pawson

[WhingForPresident]

One of those where you can only conclude he is biased or was paid off.

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

Very much how I saw it.

Thank god for VAR

Draw a fair result but fk me. As bad a performance from a ref as have seen this season . Joker !!

In all my many years of playing, watching and rereferring football (and there have been a lot), that was up with the worst display of officiating I've witnessed.

Newcastle fans somehow incredibly think they were cheated out of a win by Pawson favouring us. These tweets are far from unique. At least when the referee robbed us at Spurs previously their fans had the self-awareness and recognised it.

 

[Zeberdi]

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?

I’m enjoying the conspiracy though

These are his results officiating Newcastle matches - someone with a good eye for stats can make of that what they will - nothing really jumps out to my untrained eye

Okay, he's just a shite ref.

I know it’s weird to reply to myself but this blows my tiny mind. Imagine watching that game as a Newcastle fan and thinking the referee was anything but incredibly generous to you? Madness.

But the same kind of logic that can lead to you thinking it’s fine when your owners are accused of crimes against humanity (massacre of hundreds if not thousands of migrants and asylum seekers on their borders), war crimes (in Yemen) and human rights abuses among the very worst in the world all in the last year…and global NGOs explicitly state the Saudi sportswashing via PIFs involvement in Newcastle and others has helped them. They should be hiding in shame at what their club represents today, not claiming victimhood at a refereeing performance that was blatantly in their favour.

The most one sided performance from a referee at the Amex I have seen apart from Burnley in the championship (which was also Pawson from memory). Was just unbelievable to watch

 

[Bodian]

On the penalty - given that play continued and they would have scored if it had not been for a superb save from Bart, hadn't they played their 'advantage'?

 

[fly high]

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.

Spoke to a couple of Geordie lads after the match and they thought he was an absolute joke.

 

[Guinness Boy]

A new variety of the old phrase coined though - “a great day out ruined by 90 minutes of Craig Pawson”.

 

[Deadly Danson]

I said exactly the same but I was told I was talking rubbish. Had Bart not saved it, he wouldn't have given the pen so they had been given the advantage. In any case it wasn't a foul so the whole thing should be academic.

I love the fact that a top 4 team owned by Saudis think the game is rigged towards Brighton.

There's a certain post truth populism madness to it I suppose.

 

[GJN1]

It was also Craig Pawson who didn't send off Joey Barton for stamping on Kayal in 2016. Still angry about that.

Actually, having now watched the highlights, Pawson blew up before the guy got his header in on goal.

Although the highlights didn't show the foul for the free-kick.

When they suggest Pawson is sacked, they don't mean by the PGMOL, they mean by Newcastle.

Newcastle thought he was terrible for not sticking with his original decisions for the 2 pens overturned!
