[Albion] Referee tonight

[Littlemo]

I thought he was ok. Got most decisions right and was generally consistent. My main gripe was he was too whistle happy.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I “noticed“ the ref, but usually for good reasons. He was in control.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Very good ref tonight and probably most European refs are different level to the dross we have in Premier league with the exception of a couple.

This is not true, but any excuse to dig into our refs

European refs take no nonsense and its no coincidence that pundits, managers, commentators and journalists week in week out go on about English referee's being average at best compared to other countries. Yes, we have some good 1s in Premier league but in my opinion only a handful. Obviously, its a tough job on the pitch but the VAR errors which is managed by refs also come into my criticism.

 

[Husty]

Weird, I thought he was terrible. Fell for every trick in the book Marseille tried, and they very nearly got away with it.

Yeh, he was dogshit.

 

[AZ Gull]

I was convinced our goal was offside. Not seen any replays. My main criticism is he should have got the book out earlier (timewasting, some fouls) and then went mad with the cards towards the end. Why was Dunk booked?

He wasn't.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

He wasn't.

A mere detail.
If he had been booked, why would he have been?

Did have a chuckle post-goal, as Joao was knocking over picnic hampers and blankets in the East stand after the goal how the ref was very calmly stood there just watching with his yellow card in his hand ready

Why the sneering attitude at the Family stand?

Ffs lighten up

Oh, was it funny?

 

[dazzer6666]

Oh, was it funny?

Obviously not to some

We've actually had this referee before - he was in the middle for the pre-season friendly against Real Betis at the Pinatar Arena on July 17 2014.
