A furious Ian Holloway...

[brightonrock]

...hit out at referee Craig Pawson after Blackpool lost their second game in 10. The game came to life in the 54th minute when Barry Ferguson was sent off for raising his elbow to Guirane N'Daw.

Holloway, unable to contain himself, was sent to the stands, and was still seething afterwards. "If you can see into my heart now there is a big black mark on it and that hurts. That is wrong. It's a sad day for me. I very nearly didn't go to the stand because I was that incensed. I normally know when I have done something wrong and on this occasion I hadn't."

f***ing BELLROT at it again. I hear he's thinking of investing in a Clinton's franchise.

Not fit to wear the shirt..... Not many are nowadays

 

[Lady Gull]

Clearly pawson is completely incompetent as a match official!

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Pawson is a liability

 

[Daffy Duck]

Pawson is a liability

That's not the word I would use to describe him.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Him and poyet should agree to pay fines and say what they f***ing like about that ****.

 

[theonesmith]

I'm confused, was it a bad decision? The player was sent off for raising his elbow? Did the player actually elbow someone?

Not just us who do not rate him either

Glad to see he is just crap and didn't have it in for us

As much as I was incendary on the day, Vincelot was a clear red and Barnes has no excuse either. The only issue is whether Burnley should also have had a red card.

There is no question though. The Burnley player should have been sent off..

And Burnley should have had a goal kick when El-Abd kicked it out of play. He didn't have as bad a game as people think, he was the pantomime villain because no-one (including him!) saw Vincelot's incident and then he rightly sent off Barnes. We appealed, and the FA upheld the ban. He only actually got a couple of things wrong.

What the f*** are you on about, he made terrible decisions both ways all day. We just happened to get the worst of them.

No, the big decisions went against us but we were the architects of our own failure. All the little decisions don't really matter. The Greer goal should never have been disallowed. I still don't know what was wrong with that.

No big decisions I give up.

I hate to sound like a jobsworth but the lino's flag was up well before Greer scored. Pawson got one thing wrong that day and that was turning up!

one or even two should have gone on the Burnley side which makes Pawson a turd anyone watching MOTD would have thought he might have sent off 10's if not more he was there to see the rules were adhered to and fairly and he was nor fair in any way

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Pawson is one of those refs....'Look at me', I have the power!!!

Consistency, fella. That's the main gripe I have with referees, consistency. I don't care how they interpret the laws of the game, as long as they are consistent.

Vincelot punch and Barnes two footed tackle = reds = fair enough

Two footed tackle on Tarrico and push in El-Abds face = nothing = massively inconsistent and very poor refereeing.

Not to mention the Greer goal..
