[Albion] 11 vs 15 today

[RM-Taylor]

Can never win or get a result when you play against 11 and the 4 officials playing for the opposition. Some truly woeful decisions today

 

[Popeye]

Referee's were bad overall, but so were we.Not their fault we couldn't string passes together, were horse shit from corners, and just plain sloppy.

I listened to the first half on Five Live and even the commentary was biased towards Villa. Watched second half and the non VAR penalty was an unbelievably clear and obvious error.

penalty just one of a litany of dubious calls. one consistet theme of chris kavanagh's officiating that I have noticed is that every game seems to invariably descend into chaos. exudes all the control of a bald tyre

have to agree , Kavanagh is a f***ing disgrace , not even a look at the monitor for our penalty shout and Villa just playing anti football ......brummie ****s , f*** 'em , time wasting twatts and worth noting that although there were 8 minutes of extra time played he did not play one second over that despite booking martinez for time wasting .....its just a bad joke , pathetic.

The on-field ref can’t choose to look at the screen as and when he chooses - he has to be instructed to do so by the VAR official at Stockley Park.

Feels like another defeat so another referee thread. Seven Villa players were booked. None met the red card mark.

We should have had a penalty, but that was a VAR issue if the ref was unsighted.

Albion lost today because they failed to break down a team playing attritional football. We were poor.

It was a very cynical game at times with a lot of annoying fouls on both sides. I found it really frustrating. But I had no problem with the ref.

 

[Swansman]

They were not great and Solly should obviously get that penalty.

But the main problem today was Brighton not being good enough.

Martiez alone could have been booked about seven times for timewasting

 

[Springal]

When you have Welbeck and Undav as strikers you can’t expect goals. Both beyond terrible today

he totally lost control of the game. applied nowhere near enough added time after the 8 had elapsed, also seemed very beholden to villa throwing themselves on the floor and adding a few rolls for good measure

Refs have a tendency not to punish time wasting early doors. So he did get away with that.

I can't see how he lost control of the game. The players were losing control of their own composure. And Villa players were happy to take 'one for the team'. It was frustrating. It's just one of those (annoying) things.

Seven wsr

Seven were booked, but most of them were in the final 10mins.

If the ref actually got his book out earlier, as was fully warranted, players would have been on a yellow much earlier in the game.

I was just saying to my other half that I'd love for some maverick ref to actually apply the poxy rules early doors.

Martinez should have been booked early in the 2nd half and then bloody well sent off near the end with a SECOND yellow.

If goalies start actually getting binned off for their timewasting it will stop.

ok ...please tell me , who was on VAR duty ....Mason , Dean...?? some other northern fuckwhit...?

Ref wasn't great, and nor were Villa with their anti football, but the ref didn't lose us the game today. One to just write off as a bad day at the office I think.

Everyone was poor today. Not sure Welbeck or Undav had an opportunity.

Definitely. And we know that. Players will have bad games, teams will have bad days.

But referees are meant to be capable of applying set laws and rules. Today they did not do that.
