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 )

Damage has definitely been done to Baleba though hasn't it . These apparently wrong decisions always have sequeences.

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

Surely no ref would do that??

Ooh it’s a corner said:

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

Terrible decision.
Wasn't he also the ref in the game that a Burnley player scooped the ball with his hand in the penalty - most blatant penalty. He and the lino were the only two people in the Amex that didn't see it and Burnley go up the other end and score.

Is Kelvin Morton still available? Even though he’d be pretty old by now, I’m sure he could do better.

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.

Europe every season with those stats

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.

not 'arguably', it was 100% not a foul.
If anything the Bournemouth player was reckless and out of control and if anyone committed an offence it was him
