Barnes penalty claim

[albionite]

Todays ref had a shocker, apart from the comical Blackpool clearance he prevented.

He took that full in the face and for a moment there I thought he was going to go down. Fair play to him though, he wobbled a bit, but stayed on his feet kept calm and carried on.

 

[clarkey]

He did take a tumble when a Blackpool player ran through him though

I thought it was funny when Gus just looked at the West stand's fury over one of the decisions and, for once, decided not to get involved himself.

Looked stonewall penalty to me.

This is on YouTube.

I was down the front to the right of you. Was going mad at the ref for not giving it.

Looked like a penalty from wsu but there didn't seem to be any claims from our players which is normally a good indication.

 

[Philzo-93]

I never felt so robbed in my life!!! Blatant peno

Must be one of those ref's that are peno-phobic!

 

[Bean]

Maybe we should sue the ref

Im sure a Blackpool player handballed in the penalty area near the end too.

I had a clear view of that from where I was and it was blatant handball from the Blackpool player, There's many refs who would've given the Barnes penalty claim as well.

clear pen...i thought you could see his shirt being tugged (i am in WSU)

It's not my video, just off YouTube. So I was nowhere near you!

Penalty and a red card. The ref has cost us 3 points.

Spot on. The agonising thing was from our seats roughly 6 yard box you could see the cross going straight to Barnes foot until he was shoved over - joke ref. Bottle job.

 

[DT Withdean]

Exactly. No reason for Barnes to dive there as he would have scored otherwise

Exactly. I was exactly in line. Barnes had no reason to go down, when about to stroke it into the net.
Linesman & ref both blundered.

what is it with dodgy refs at albion games

Is Gus p***ing officials off, and even if subconcious, there against us?
On holiday, I met someone who's mates with a league ref, and the main thing they knew about the new Albion was that the official found Gus a nightmare.
I defended him, but just wonder.

It look like one of our defenders handballed a cross before they equalised, was quite a long way away though, anybody nearer see if it was

Yep, they should have had a pen for that. Dunk I think it was

 

[HenryC]

I thought that but someone said afterwards that it was Barnes' hand?

I saw Ashley as he was leaving the stadium and he admitted that it was his hand! Still worth trying to claim a pen though!!

 

[Skaville]

Does anyone think it WASN'T a penalty?

 

[Silent Bob]

The ref and no one else in the world.
