He bottled it. Went for the easy calls even when they were outright wrong.
Weak, inconsistent and rather irritating.
That ref OUT.

Absolute C U Next Tuesday
Booking Albion players at every opportunity yet ignoring similar from Bournemouth
Afternoon !Three bookings each.
I'm sure both sets of fans could find things to be critical of. But he didn't make any bad decisions, just those usual subjective ones that go tribal in their analysis. A little bit of inconsistency, granted. But, from a neutral perspective, he would barely warrant a footnote.
I’ve been on here in recent weeks defending refs, so I feel justified in saying todays was very poor. Numerous times Bournemouth players threw or kicked the ball away, albeit subtlety and got away with it, dunk arguably does it one time and is straight in the book.
Not wrong to book veltman for dissent but veltman was completely right to point out he was being fouled persistently, which the ref did nothing about.
Absolute bottlejob.

Usually I disagree with these ref threads/OP’s.
But this bloke was a wnkr. My reasoning; he bought almost every Plucky tumble to the ground after light scuffling, whilst he dismissed our equivalent … on repeat.
To me all the light scuffles weren’t free kicks at all.
Then he failed to dish out a second half yellow when we were fouled on the counter, but was red hot on us doing the same. Aren’t they all bookings?
Thank god we took the lead. In the first half they kept walking off with the ball when we got throw ins. Plucky and their mate the ref would’ve run the final 45 minutes down at apace.
Mitoma …. forever in your debt

When Dunk went to chat with him after our third I think he was saying sorry we messed up his bet
They kicked or threw the ball away 5 times we did it once, we got a yellow they got none

I wrote that before he evened things up VERY late in the game. He showed bias or ineptness before that ….imo

They should've had 2 or 3 bookings for booting the ball away and the like. Some of the free kick calls were garbage.
But no VAR farce, no major incorrect decisions that affected the outcome.. I feel that's about as much as we can hope for.

Sad that we have such a low level of expectation isn't it.
I think he only did that because the Bournemouth players made a fuss about it - I think only then did he realised that he should be booking players for time wasting.
Quite funny Bournemouth were time wasting and throwing the ball away when they were losing 3-1 !
You’re doing Atwell and Hooper a disservice.
And then he forget again when Brooks kicked it away (further than Dunk)

Agreed. Thought he was fine. But football fans will be partisan. Officials, VAR, etc are always an easy target.

If anyone thinks that ref performance was better than the one we witnessed on Thursday, then I feel for them.
I enjoyed the game. Having been found out in the first half, we were great in the second.
