Ref for Cardiff Match

[Bish Bosh]

Roger East

Most of us focussed on Mike Dean's decision at Boro in May...but East missed the push on Lewis Dunk before Wednesday's equaliser at the Amex. Should have been a routine easy spot too.

Anyway we live in hope for Saturday.

Lets hope the result is not the disaster it was last season down there. We were abysmal!

 

[BensGrandad]

Unfortunately I think it will take more than a dodgy ref for us to get 3 points down there on Saturday.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Ahhh Mr. East, we haven't had the pleasure of his company for some time. Unlike Mr. Stroud who seems to ref us every other week.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Ahh good, ref #429 we have an issue with.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Will we get Dean this season do you think?

Why's that? Cardiff had a bit of a bounce when Warnock first arrived, but they are reverting to type again now (abysmal).

Wells can never be that bad again.
I can never get that wet again

Whitestone or Mike?

Would suggest it is was the linesman who should have spotted it, just as it was the linesman who should have spotted the offside for Boro's goal. Mike Dean however did completely **** up over the sending off and the subsequent review.

Almost certainly, as the authorities HATE to be seen to bow to any club's preferences (or otherwise) of officials.

Obviously they'll wait until an absolutely CRUCIAL game at the business end of the season, before gracing us with their top, top man.

To be honest I'd settle for better weather, it was horrendous last year. I wonder if we had won the toss and kicked with the wind in the first half that scoreline (not neccessarily the result) may have been suffciently different to have closed that two goal gap to Boro, the 4-1 was a freak result in a freak game.

The weather was not the reason we blew that game, though. In a season when Chris Hughton made very, very few errors of judgement, this was one - radically altering our successful shape / style, and going to 3 in midfield (trying to compensate for the absence of Beram Kayal). The three in there (Crofts, Sidwell, Stephens?) all stood and waited for each other to track / tackle / pick up midfield runners, as the Cardiff support players took turns to wander into the box and score.

Yes but, don't think they will get him to the Amex high profile away game is best bet.

I will totally agree that the selection was poor, and that we may well still have lost the game, just not sure we would have lost by 3. It was nigh on impossible for us to move the ball forward in the first half. Weather notwithstanding i'd agree it was a poor performance that may well have ended in defeat, but I have never seen a game played in conditions as bad as that.

I'm going to go for Villa Park in May. That sounds just like the sort of thing the FA would do.

 

[kjgood]

Last year was probably the worst game of football and worst performance from Brighton I have ever seen in many years of watching football. The weather absolutely destroyed the game and we couldnt cope with the conditions.

Even the, we could have got back in it after half time. At 3-1, we missed a really good chance to make it 3-2 and then conceded a penalty minutes later to end the game as a contest. If it had become 3-2, you never know what might have happened.

Worst performance maybe but not even the worst game I've seen at Cardiff. The 0-0 under Hughton in the previous season was a terrible match. I think there were more goals last season than shots in that game.

Dear lord that was the DULLEST game I have ever been to. Nothing happened at all.
