[Albion] Martin Atkinson

Red was debatable.

2nd was offside, that’s the fault of the lino.

I hold no blame for the above, but to miss a booking for a player taking their shirt off is unforgivable. So was the inconsistency for what he gave as fouls. He was very lenient towards Cardiff but gave everything against Brighton at any given opportunity.

VAR would have over turned it I imagine.

No chance VAR would have overturned it. Debatable, but not a clear and obvious error.

 

[El Turi]

If we had VAR in this country we would have got a point from that game.

He couldn't even get the minute's silence right.

Grossly incompetent.

It was a very poor performance by the ref. ****ing shit to be exact.

I can't say he cost us three points though, it was 1-1 when he sent off Stephens and while I think it's a harsh one I can at least understand why he gave it. He did give a lot of fouls against us, more than I've seen in a long, long time, many of which were dubious(or wrong if you want to be less diplomatic). And he (and whoever the **** of a lino was) dropped a bollock by missing the offside. So he didn't cost us three points but he did cost us one. Not booking Bamba for taking his shirt off was symptomatic of how god awful he was. Not that that had any material effect on the result, but still...

I'd say the biggest contributing factor to us not winning was how we played in the first 30 minutes. We should have smashed them out of sight, they were genuinely the worst premier league team I can remember seeing(certainly that we've played against), instead we went very passive and became increasingly sloppy, allowing them back into the game. If only we'd been more positive in that first half hour we would have been 2 or 3 goals up and Stephens's red card would have been nothing but an irritant.

Think that’s a misunderstanding he asked if he could have his shirt as a souvenir

that ......we just need to improve with so many basics of the game.


the last few weeks have not been enjoyable viewing to be honest....ANDONE & BISSOUMA seem to play ok together , as a small plus to take from the game .

Dreadful performance. The game was a stinker but he didn't help blowing up for every ****ing little touch. Especially from BHA player.

Can the FA take action? Sure, there is no excuse for all four officials to miss it, but he is bragging about lying to an official, surely there's something about ungentlemanly conduct, or unprofessional behaviour?

The French ref had an excellent game, no comparison whatsoever. The South African TMO got that decision wrong imo, ref is blameless.

 

[OzMike]

The ref was a joke to be honest and if they review this game they will see that.............................or not as the case may be.
Fancy relying on an honest answer from the player
It’s like asking Mr Tumble if he was tripped.

 

[sydney]

my god that bbc article is pitiful.......cant wait to see what the repercussions will be .......

Is the TMO not an official

Will you be saying that next season when it is in in operation at all Premier games, as is expected to happen. Incidentally I do agree with you and cannot wait for it to happen efficiently.

He made one decision he did not officiate the match, the excellent French ref did
