Great attitude - people make mistakes, luckily we still won so no real damage done and our next game is Southampton (not city who we needed baleba for )

The ref made the amateurish blunder of reacting to a player writhing in pain.

He’s dreadful - one of the very worst. I think it was him a few years back who gave a pen against little Tariq in a challenge with Ayew at Selhurst - he’s an appalling ref

As bad as Attwell may be/is, and we have a lot of beef against him for some truly shocking decisions over the years, interestingly when he refs us we have a win % of 52.9% (Reffed us 17 times, W9 D4 L4) which is the 2nd best win % of any ref during our Prem years from refs who have been the man in the middle (at least 10 times). The best ref as far as win % goes is Andy Madley with a 54.4% win ratio from 11 matches and only 1 defeat. Atters does have the 'honour' of being the only ref so far to have sent off 2 of our players for a 2nd yellow in a game.
Baleba's unlucky red was our 20th in the Prem so far and the 5th for a double yellow. Yellow card count is currently 466.
Kevin 'definitely not our' Friend was the man who has brandished the most reds towards us with 4 alongside 23 yellows (thankfully he is no longer blowing a whistle anymore). Anthony Taylor is leading the list of most yellows with 33 (& 2 reds) from 17 games. Others to have reached the 30 Yellow Card Club are Pawson (32 from 17), Chris Kavanagh (30 from 14) and of course Mr. Attwell now joins the list after 3 more yesterday, he now has 30, 2 double yellows and 1 straight red. Surprisingly our great friend Mr. Dean only dished out 24 yellows in his 15 games he took 'charge' in with the notorious Dale red card being the only one he gave against us.
Will we make it to 500 yellows this season? Just 34 to go, history suggests we should reach the target sometime before the end of the campaign with our average yellows being 62 over the past 7 seasons.

Or, and bear with me here, he could have given a straight red which VAR would have asked him to look at and would be appealable if he still thought it a foul.

Risky strategy as that’d be a 3 match ban instead of one. Plus he’d look even more of a tit for sending someone off for something that was arguably not even a foul.

Just watching Sky's Ref Watch and Jay Boothroyd asked the obvious question as to why VAR could not get involved. The ref Gallagher fudged his response and waffled on about how they wanted to bed in VAR.

Ultimately, they all agreed it was NOT even a foul! FFS

I thought that Arsenal (unsuccessfully) appealed Rice's suspension following his sending off v us?

Referees make wrong decisions, it's part of the game. It doesn't make them a c****. And it's that sort of abuse that means there are less of them coming through. If you were called a c*** every time you made an error at work how would you respond ? I do suggest that if these things raise folk's blood pressure to the point of irrational outbursts then trainspotting may be a better pursuit.

Most of the errors supporters call refs out for actually aren't when viewed neutrally. Today it was an error. It happens.

Thing is - it's not even this decision that bothers me about Attwell - it was another clanger of course but he's generally useless anyway so that's par for the course. Following on from THAT Spurs game where no one will ever convince me that he wasn't biased against us and subsequent games that he's been involved with us, yesterday it was the accumulation of small decisions against us from the first whistle that smells fishy. Nothing that major but continually warning us against time wasting even before we started, little fouls that went unpunished, silly amounts of injury time and even just before the red (and I haven't watched this back) there was an obvious yellow for Bournemouth during our attack that he waved advantage for, this led directly to the attack that Baleba stopped - I was expecting him to go back and wave the yellow at the Bournemouth player for the earlier foul but, no this buffoon chose to show a yellow to Baleba instead.

I fully expect a video to emerge where it's revealed he hates Brighton due to a seagull nicking his ice cream or something.

Dreadful referee, had another really poor game, but I’m being generous and putting it down to incompetence rather than malice
