[Albion] The best advantage played at the Amex to date?

[Uh_huh_him]

Do you mean the ball to hand?

If you spread your arms out like that in the penalty area, then ball to hand becomes a bit of a moot point IMO.

 

[BensGrandad]

very good advantage by the ref

 

[worthingseagull]

Can't believe we didn't sing "You DO know what you're doing"

 

[C17BHA]

Great Advantage...But It Was A Nailed On Red Card

Dreadful tackle.

 

[Motogull]

Did Cresswell get a yellow for that?

Yes.

 

[Hastings gull]

Certainly up there, excellent refereeing.

Yes agreed. I suppose the cynic will say that we are congratulating the ref for that as we scored, but at the end of the day, the refereeing in this instance by any standards was spot on.

 

[BensGrandad]

very good advantage by the ref

But why was the penalty claim refused?

 

[dazzer6666]

Yes
He put his whistle in his mouth and then waved play on

This. I actually shouted something like ‘you ****’ because I thought for sure he was about to blow but could see (as it’s right in front of where I sit) we had so much space. Excellent bit of reffing and nicely done by Muzza too.....just the kind of player you need in that situation. Would not have been as confident if it was Solly, Jose or Knocky for example.

Do you mean the ball to hand?

When his hands were up in the air, yes.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Same as Dunk on Wed (but was just outside the box). Arms in unnatural position above the head, clear penalty

Exactly what I said. There is no consistency at all. If Dunk's was a free kick then we should have had a pen.

I thought he had a good game and a great advantage played.
Not his fault, but when a goal like our second is scored and the player celebrates by waving his shirt around I still don’t get why they have to be booked. If I’d have scored a goal like that I’d have thrown my shorts into the crowd as well (definately a sending off offence).

 

[Blue3]

Good decision but generally I thought he was very inconsistent

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Good decision but generally I thought he was very inconsistent

Yes. Despite the brilliance of the advantage, didn't think he was very good from then on. Definite penalty.

 

[Aveacarlin']

I can’t think of a better one. I was sure he was going to blow for the shocking tackle on Knockaert...

I can't think of another scenario where this has happened. At the time I thought it was a fantastic display of officiating, irrespective of the final result.
