[Albion] Premier League 21-23/1/23

[LamieRobertson]

Another referee having to warn a captain about players surrounding the referee, just make it an instant yellow or sin bin, simple.

Every team does it I know.

I like the way he handled it….immediately called over the Fulham captain ….to give some sort of warning …wish more refs did this early….or even make it clear pre match that he’ll start handing out cards

It's irritating me that we'll have played 2 games fewer than some teams above us after this that we could be above. I know points are by no means guaranteed but it'd be great to know where we really stand at this point in the season with all played same amount of games.

When the bloody hell is the palace home game going to be rearranged (on that note)!?

It's usually short arms long pockets.

Spur are 5th in net spending over the last 5 years (£331m), so they've hardly been scrimping. And they've kept hold of their talisman.

Anyone would think that Spurs fans are being a little....entitled ?

Oh sorry, my mistake, I was just guessing as it's usually that with Levy.
Despite the fact it's not his club, not his money.

TBH I don't really care, although Spurs losing is always enjoyable.

Odd that we didn't fit that Muff or Palace game in last midweek, with it being kept spare for Cup replays. Only thing I can think of is probably too short notice, but shirley it could've been arranged. After all, you only get about 10-11 days notice for a replay, so whats the difference.

With sides like Leicester, Leeds. West Ham Everton etc near the bottom could it be because there are no easy games as sides outside top 6 have improved

 

[dazzer6666]

Class strike from Kane

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Boooo

 

[Is it PotG?]

Better effort than his penalties

 

[Sheebo]

Little point but this is why refs are so thick and shit. Goal in injury time - at least 30-45 secs out of the 3 mins to restart - blows up dead on 3 mins. So piss poor.

I can’t tell you how much it annoys me. We’ve actually gone backwards since the World Cup, which was the perfect opportunity to improve things after how FIFA approached it (not often you can say that).

Our last two games have been prime examples. Against Liverpool in the first half, Caicedo was down getting treatment for at least two or three minutes. We then had a VAR check for the penalty. What does the ref add on? Two minutes.

Against Leicester on Saturday, several stoppages in injury time including almost a minute preparing for Maddison’s FK. I think he then actually blew up BEFORE the time he’d signalled.

Conning fans and making officials complicit in cheating (time wasting).

How are Spurs winning. Completely outplayed in that half. Fulham look good and helps to have a CF who may score 15/20 goals

After seeing Forests antics in the first half against us, I decided to time the stoppages in the second half with the stopwatch on my watch (sad I know, but I could see what their plan was and did it out of interest). With all their constant going to ground, rolling around, taking an AGE over every set piece etc there was just short of 9 minutes. The officials added 5.

I could've done the same with the Villa game, but couldn't be arsed. I doubt the ball was in play more than 55 minutes in either of those games.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Certainly following the pattern of our home game v Spuds
Fulham look the better side creative-wise but fall to a sucker punch from the Divemeister General then 'manage' the game

 

[zefarelly]

Real football not premiershyte I know, but well done Darvel. THats like Steyning Town beating Aston Villa.

F me spurs are boring.

Spot on, Forest and Villa were two of the worst for it I’ve seen in years. The thing is, it shouldn’t matter. If the refs did their job and added the time wasted on at the end, it would stop it almost overnight.

I’m generally against big changes to the rules and officiating but I do think there’s an argument for drastic changes to timekeeping.

And I know, all teams do it to an extent. Doesn’t make it right.

I literally just nodded off for 10-15 minutes, I never do that watching football!

Not sure what woke me up but it doesn’t look like anything in this game!

Another classic example in tonight’s game. Six minutes of injury time signalled, at least three minutes of which were stoppages. Ref played less than one minute extra.

It’s like they can’t wait to end the game as quickly as possible.

Unbelievable again from Tierney there. Stoppage time injury - play started 90-30 secs. Was in play for 3 seconds and another double injury. Restarts at 92 mins on the dot. 2 throw ins spurs took 30 secs each. Another 45 secs for another injury. So should have been at least 3-4 mins to be added to additional time - played 50 seconds! Unbelievably naive and plain thick. Glad it irks you too…!
