Have you taken leave of your senses? You know full well that he's a weasel-faced arse. It's possible he's a weasel-faced arse that couldn't see Dunk's armed being pulled, I'll give you that.

Don't all politicians?
I can't comment on the incident as I haven't seen it yet, but I think over the course of a season these decisions tend to even themselves out, for and against.
As much as I think he's an utterly turd referee, I don't think he had much choice from his angle. Keane's shirt was pulled halfway up his back and Dunk held his shirt for the whole corner routine. Yes, he was fouled first but in a more canny way. This is where Dunk often loses out: he's very naive.
The thing is, once again, no consistency. Give that, you need to give two or three pens a game. Remember, this is a ref that disallowed an overhead kick for a high boot though so consistency is unlikely to be high on his agenda. He makes "technically" the right decisions, but not sensible ones.

Very harsh decision, but at the same time Dunk can't really grumble - the fact that he was being fouled himself, doesn't mean that he didn't also commit a foul.
The most annoying thing, as [MENTION=30752]NooBHA[/MENTION] points out, is that most of the pulling happening before the ball was even in play. Most refs would have stopped the corner being taken, had a word with both players, then got on with the game.

Exactly this. You see that sort of hassling and pulling in penalty boxes all over the country week in and week out and its always handled that way. It'll be another five years before we see a penalty given for something so commonplace.

Or at least until next time he's officiating one of our matches again.

And he gave it a long time after the initial contact - a good 2 seconds after Dunk had been dragged along about 5 yards. Awful decision.

Hope we never have him again , perhaps the club should make a formal complaint about him and suggest we don't want him to officiate any of our furture games for the rest of the season

why did the FA appoint a ref from B'mouth for a match in Lancashire on a Sunday lunchtime ?

Poor decision, if he gives it very week then no worries. He won't.

A different kind of pasty
When I heard him whistle, I assumed, like I'm sure all fair minded footy fans everywhere thought, he'd blown for a foul on Dunk. Absolutely appalling decision, until you remember who the ref was, and which side it was against.

Dunk was yanked across the penalty area
Don't forget Dunk's challenge against MK Dons. Easy come, easy go, it's football. There will be other dodgy decisions against us in the rest of the season as well as dodgy ones for us.
Seems the burnley fans rated him

Does anyone have a list of the games in which Hoops has given dodgy decisions against the Albion? Are there many, or is it just that he seems to be Bournemouth's Fairy godfather referee that pisses so many off?
Basically I am asking if he deserves the abuse he gets from us.

The commentator said that it was only the second penalty Hooper had awarded in 18 games this season. Maybe he felt he needed to up his stats?

They would, wouldn't they? He won them a point.
