Why is the reference to PoundLand funny? Is PoundLand beneath you? If you ever want to help heal the divisions in this country then you should also stop referring to people as gammons. No one should be judged on their appearance, and it also immediately kills the debate. Grow up.

This thread starts out by specifically referencing Massey, suggesting she should be sacked/demoted. The other thread references the officiating in general (the clue is in the title), which includes all the officials. "Poorest officials" - see the plural. And it does not start out by...

Er, yeah I've seen that one. That's not a thread that is specifically referencing Chris Kavanagh is it? It's about the officials in general, including Sian Massey. It was only Massey who got her own thread (with calls for her to be sacked/demoted), even though Kavanagh had a far poorer game...

So how come Mr Dean appears in the PL week in week out? :facepalm:

Where's the thread on Chris Kavanagh? He's the one who had a truly poor game.

It was Montoya's first decent cross of the match, and it didn't even count :lol:

You haven't watched much PL football if you don't think she's very good. See, we can all play that game :shrug:

She flagged straight away. The offside was close, especially at full speed and with multiple players around the same line. She's one of the better officials in the PL. She got this one wrong. It happens. That's why we need VAR at this stage in the FA Cup.

No, that's not what I meant at all. The poster I quoted suggested she is where she is because she's a woman (due some sort of positive discrimination / being seen to be PC presumably). I disagreed. I think being a woman makes it harder to get in the position of running the line in the PL...

Locadia's goal was brilliant and something I hope we can see more of. I don't have much confidence that he'll ever be a big player for us, but I hope to be proved wrong. March's goal was a miss-hit cross. But he was brilliant with his direct running and creativity when he came on and deserves...

Fair enough if that's your view. I think she's done amazingly well, despite her gender. And from what I've noticed she seems to be one of the officials who generally performs consistently well.

Obviously being a woman she gets extra scrutiny. Yet she mostly gets offside calls right, even really tight ones. She was obviously quite confident it was offside (she very quickly flagged), but she was wrong - it happens. That's why we need VAR in all the ties at this stage. Too much riding on it.

Hmmm, ok. You don't think it's possible that you, as a Brighton fan, is biased? I didn't feel there was any clear favouring of Millwall. Respect for the what they had done to come this far, and respect for the job they, as a Championship team, were doing on us - which is a worthy topic to talk...

When people are losing an argument they tend to alter the context to divert from their initial statements.

Sian Massey is generally a brilliant lineswoman and so if she got it wrong, then I've no doubt it was a hard decision to make.

Obviously it was onside and the lineswoman got it wrong. But that's not what he was saying, was it?

How were they not being balanced? They repeated multiple times all the incorrect decisions which VAR would have overturned. Janas even clearly stated that the ref seemed to favour Millwall! Regarding who deserved to win, if you're being impartial, Millwall were better until our subs came on...

All that and we end up with City. Brilliant.

They are there for the taking. They are knackered. We've got fresh attacking subs. We need to go for it.

Correct. AK extremely frustrating today too.
