The players go to games to win.

The ref was appalling but no worse than the appalling ref for Villa or Forest.
So it's probably fair to say the ref wasn't appalling and that it's the laws which are.
To be honest although we have witnessed a number of poor officiating performances this season, in my eyes the ref last weekend was by a considerable margin the worst, and I'd guess RDZ agreed based on his outburst.

I know the laws surrounding head injuries are certainly exploited presently, but as officials they can somewhat counteract that by adding the requisite amount of injury time and clamping down on any other timewasting offences with yellow cards early on. The ref lost control of the game early on and never regained it regards timewasting, add in a sprinkling of perplexing free kick calls, one of which where our player got elbowed in the face and the ref gave a free kick their way, and I think a large amount of the blame for an awful spectacle can be laid at his door; irrespective of the result.

RDZ agreed last week and he also agreed v Villa. Trust your eyes and don’t think you’re being biased or anything - you’re not…!

Really quite galling seeing Fulham fans on Reddit livid about the time wasting and saying there should be at least 10 minutes added on.

Duality.

Good game in the end. Mitrovic would have buried that injury time chance but hey-ho. It's only a football match. Not life or death.

Pepsi glass half full. :)
