The ref tonight vs Blackburn

[NorthStandN1A]

absolutely shocking - how did Murphy stay on the pitch? Is it our style of play that makes these refs get booed off the pitch week in week out or are they just that shit?

 

[Conkers]

He lost control of the game after failing to referee the game properly in the first half. If he actually took control in the 1st half, there is no way the game would have boiled over like that.
Probably worked to our advantage though.....

The amount of poor referees this season at the Amex is unbelievable. It's become that regular I expect us to have an awful ref every game.

 

[Del Boy]

On a positive note the lino was amazing, should have got our mom for that penalty!

 

[Brownstuff]

I thought ref was very fair although difficult to judge some of the decisions from bottom of North Stand

lol...i think u may be right there

 

[Stat Brother]

Should they have had a hand ball penalty, just before we got ours?

It certainly looked like, from a distance, the kind of thing that gets given.

 

[Gazwag]

He was a joke summed it up when he booked LuaLua for the softest foul of the night

Justice was done i thing...they deserved no more than what they got and murphy should have had a straight red

Who says the East Stand doesn't make any noise.

There was a near hand ball as it rolled up his chest, which got us all shouting.
So when it did catch matey's arm, lino was in no doubt.

 

[We've signed Kanchelskis!]

I've been really disappointed by the referring performances for the last three games. I don't think it's bias, I honestly think the ref's just weren't performing to the best of their ability. Everyone has their off days, it's just a shame that these three different ref's have chosen our games. However, the lino was top class

If LuaLuas was a legit booking, then Murphy should have gone about five minutes earlier for a second yellow.

100% this.

 

[brightonmark1234]

danny murphy is a twat and he should of went for the tackle on bridcutt

 

[Soulman]

That Hanley had been booked, then was last man when he fouled again, a foul was given, the player stayed on the pitch.

I agree. It was cynical and dangerous.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i feel the ref bottled it to send him off

 

[JCL666]

Totally. Should've seen red for the tackle on Bridders and failing that a second yellow for the one on Kaz.

 

[brightonrock]

The first on Bridcutt was very late and very reckless, a stonewall yellow but probably a harsh red. Minutes later countered and he cynically wiped out the legs of Kaz (I think it was him!?), knowing exactly what he was doing. I looked that split second at the ref who was running over, reaching to his pocket for his notebook and cards. He then saw it was Murphy who he'd booked a minute beforehand and bottled it. Literally a carbon copy of the foul he booked Upson for in the first half. Absolute cretin that bloke, it was almost laughable how long Blackburn were taking over set pieces in the first half and he just let them get away with it. Joke.

 

[Bladders]

He wasn't great but I've seen a lot worse at the Amex this season.
