[Albion] Ref today

[Icy Gull]

Well?

 

[JJ McClure]

Lost control in the second half

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

****

 

[Bold Seagull]

What a game like that highlights is the tools refs are given to enforce the rules and gamesmanship and just woefully limited.

If your only discipline is a yellow card, then it’s not a punishment for a player taking one for their team.

With all the cheating that goes on in football we need an overhaul of the rules to give the referees more tools, whether sin bins, orange cards or other means that is a deterrent to anti-football.

 

[Swansman]

Good first half, lost control over it in the second.

Probably one of the most difficult games to ref this season though as Villa wanted to destroy the game. Showed them 6 or 7 yellow cards which is at least better than the 2 or 3 you often see in similar games.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Weak

 

[Guinness Boy]

Lost control. We could probably still be playing now with all their acting and time wasting.

That said, the worst decision of the game was made by VAR because the ref was unsighted. They got it horribly wrong. What is the point of this technofascist joysucker if it's not even pointing out clear and obvious things like Digne booting Solly in the shin?

The **** was laughing as he walked down the tunnel and got booed. I think he thought he had a great game. He was conned by Villa and couldn’t see it

I pointed this out at the time - tactical yellow card fouls to time waste should be a Red Card offence end of - the players are there to play football not fcuk around on the ground for several minutes as a timewasting tactic when clearly not injured or getting involved in protracted arguments with every official near them in order to delay the game while yellow cards are handed out.

- what team hasn’t booted the ball out of play or walloped it up the field into no man’s land to waste a few minutes but that was effin ridiculous today and the ref did nothing apart from handing out a deck of yellow cards (more than 10? in all, 7 in the last 10 mins?.) One red card for failing to heed warnings for holding up play would have put a stop to it imo. Geeze even gave a yellow card to a Villa player not even on the pitch - what a tool and Villa totally played him!

Persistent offences unpunished:

Unsporting behaviour - including feigning injury and showing a lack of respect for the game
Delaying restart of play
Dissent by word or action

They're even more limited when you don't use them. Six of their seven yellows came in the final ten minutes.

As others have said he lost control, well he never really had much control.

Useless ref.

What was Trossard doing giving the ball back?

 

[dazzer6666]

What was Trossard doing giving the ball back?

After Martinez ‘hurt himself’ saving a shot ? Ref told Lamptey we had to……..

 

[BN41Albion]

8 minutes of injury time largely because of blatant time wasting says it all

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

After Martinez ‘hurt himself’ saving a shot ? Ref told Lamptey we had to……..

No he can’t say that it not in the laws of the game sorry that’s bollocks

 

[Bodian]

What was Trossard doing giving the ball back?

Maintaining the sportsmanlike attitude that they should have had.

 

[dazzer6666]

That’s pretty much exactly what we were shouting

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

What was Trossard doing giving the ball back?

Said on another thread was trying to pin them in the corner for a throw in, but missed, which kind of summed his day up.

Why not run at them and try and score. He saved the ball stood up a threw the ball out. No reason at all to give it back. Trossard was wrong to do so in any manner

i will add he had the ball, as a keeper he could stay down and get treatment. What he done meant two restarts.

trossard was stupid

Yep. Lamptey waited ages to take the throw because of their faffing around , and seemed unsure of what to do. Said something to the ref who replied, he threw it to Trossard who was giving it back but aiming to give them a throw right in the corner but put it the wrong side of the flag.
