Are you sure![]()
gerbil said:It's not a case of appealing for everything is it.
McPhee was bundled over in the box so therefore it was a penalty.
Forster handled the ball before he scored so it was handball. 2 or 3 of our defenders all appealed for it at the time as well.
Referees this season have been total pony and decisions like these that go against us could be what sends us down.
So yes WE CAN BLAME THE REFEREE.
Kaney said:Even a point would not be good enough out of a game we should have quite honestly won, even rotherham beat reading last week and.
I saw the goal on TV after the match and it would have been a brave decision by the ref to disallow it, his arms were by his side. As for the penalty I havn't seen the replay but to be honest who would've scored it?
Tom the Croc said:I have to agree with Kaney here. It would have been very harsh to rule out the goal, and I cant see where we should have had a penalty from. There are far too many excuses made about refs when we lose, when perhaps we should simply admit we are not good enough. We have to play at our very best to even stand a chance of gaining results in this league, so when we dont even average teams like Reading will outclass us.
gerbil said:The referee is paid to make "brave" decisions that's what he's bloody well there for. If he can't do that he shouldn't be there. There are far too many refs these days that won't make decisions and are "guided" by how the crowd react to things.
Who would've scored a penaltyYou're joking right? It would've been nice to have had the chance to miss it.
gerbil said:You don't know where we would have got a penalty from??
Did you see the game??
Nobody's making excuses,we were crap last night end of but when decisions go against you you've got no chance.
Kaney said:Again bringing the ref into it, we were crap last night fullstop! I'm as disappointed as the next guy and felt like shit after the match, not only at the result but also at the performance and looking ahead to the next fixtures in which we have possiblyy the biggest game of the entire squads career.
Tom the Croc said:And I still fail to see where we deserved a penalty?? I most certainly was at the game and I saw no incident in that match last night in which we were worthy of a penalty. Another case of blaming the officials I think?!
gerbil said:Bringing the ref into it?
The thread's about not blaming him!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't say that we weren't crap.We were f***ing awful last night.
What I'm saying is we probably would've had a point if it wasn't for incompetant officials.
Kaney said:There you go again blaming the ref yet contradicting yourself in saying we were "f***ing Awful", The post is about the ref, full marks for observation there but it is about NOT blaming the ref and I feel we have to take responsibilty for defeat and not forget "ifs" and "buts" because whats done is done
