[Albion] Today’s ref - Craig Pawson

[Farehamseagull]

Whilst still fuming about the incompetence of Stuart Attwell and VAR from 2 weeks ago, as one who always tries to defend referee’s usually, I have to give credit and say I thought Pawson was decent today.

 

[Ethelwulf]

He had a very good game in all fairness

 

[RexCathedra]

He was being roasted on Twitter for trying to hand the game to BHA.
I expect that's a function of the relative size of the two clubs' followings, rather than any objective standard.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Felt he tried to let the game flow and didn't give too many silly dives attention they sought.

Because it's well known the authorities were trying to engineer a Brighton v man city final

Yep. Led by Ten Haag and their players ridiculous over reaction to Webster rightly not being booked after he was slightly late to a challenge when their player had just been booked. It was never a booking for Webster though, just a ‘big club’ frustrated as not every decision went the way they demanded it for a change.

One of the best reffed games we have had in a long time. It was almost like he was given instructions to do the complete opposite to what Stuart Attwell would do. Wish all games were consistently officiated like that. Was like going back in time 20 years.

Have to say Mitoma was lucky to escape a late red card.

 

[Perkino]

He did let the game flow but I'm surprised he didn't give out more yellow cards. Some players were constantly simulating

 

[Berty23]

He did quite well. A few decisions seemed a bit odd but you always get those. Sooner football bans arguing with ref the better. Bruno is just disgusting. The bookings for United were all obvious. Mitoma could have gone down to get second yellow for lindelof.

I think Bruno is my most disliked player. Can you imagine supporting him every week? Just horrible.

Yes he was good. Let a lot go and didn't go for anyone's bullshit.

 

[Solid at the back]

I thought he had an excellent game to be honest.

 

[kevo]

Good game overall, one or two iffy decisions but you're always going to get that.

Good to see you are still keeping up your ability to come across as a complete wanker on this site..

 

[Weststander]

At first he fell for the disgraceful cheating of that cnt Goofy.

Then wised up and repeatedly waved play on.

 

[Invicta]

Yeah he was good. Not sucking up to Utd like many a ref.

 

[Littlemo]

Yeah, I thought he was decent today.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Good game. Didn’t put up with the constant Utd diving and whining….

 

[Eeyore]

Have to say Mitoma was lucky to escape a late red card.

There was a period of United pressure in the second half where I thought we were on the better side of him.

Introduce the rugby rule. Captain can ask questions. No-one else.

It's insane to think that, by the nature of the game, rugby refs will always miss a lot more yet get far less back chat.
