Hooper showing his usual impartiality towards Bournemouth tonight.

 

[El Turi]

In the 19 games he’s refereed Bournemouth, he has given them 9 penalties! It’s crazy he’s allowed to referee the matches of the team he supports.

 

[zefarelly]

It's not like they're impartial professionals or anything, what do you expect!

Nothing wrong with the ref today

Nothing wrong with the ref today

Booked Welbeck for nothing

Watch his movement. Barely leaves the centre circle. Literally not fit to referee. But he did ok in an easy game to manage.

 

[Seagull58]

Booked Welbeck for nothing

That was strange. He was reluctant to get his card out all game for many hacks on Joao Pedro and a couple on Lamptey but booked Welbeck for virtually nothing. He was generally OK though. Ignored Ayew crashing to the deck for no good reason on several occasions.

Should have at least booked Lerma, but didn't do much wrong today. Largely anonymous.

Lerma or the ref?

 

[Stat Brother]

Jeeeez, I get so much grief for being 'pro ref' but come on FFS.
4-1 winners, no VAR, no controversial decisions and there's still this.

Are 'we' now so ingrained we just have to slag off the ref, at the end of the game, irrespective of what actually happened?

Ref had a good game.

We make an exception for Hoops who always deserves it.

No he doesn't, that's pathetic.

He 'deserves it' if we've actually been wronged.
He's earned our silence when praise is due.

Lerma or the ref?

I see what you did there!

I was referring to the ref though. Unusually innofensive, helped in large part by the game.

 

[AlbionBro]

Booked Welbeck for nothing

True and he didn't book Schlupp despite warning him on several occasions, wee Billy was been assaulted by Schlupp every time could get near the jinking Scotsman.

 

[Weststander]

What was RDZ’s crime, encroaching?

 

[Hugo Rune]

I thought he was poor.

He offered Palace their best chance of getting anything today but was completely overshadowed by our brilliance.

I lost count of the number of fouls we should have been given compared to the 50/50s he gave Palace.

We’d be destroying him if Palace had been able to make a game of it.

Should’ve dished out 2 or 3 more yellows when they were bad-loser hacking away at Gilmour and others.
