It’s the angle he came in at. Most people will go down if you shoulder barge them in that position.
If the players were running on the same trajectory, no penalty but Pervis was hit hard from the side. The West Ham player was not travelling towards the ball, it was a foul all day.

Perhaps because Pervis made an absolutely meal of it? Seemed a fair enough shoulder barge, but there was no attempt to play the ball so could have gone either way.
Biggest annoyance from the ref today from me was his positional sense. Got in the way of our passing game on numerous occasions.
Sometimes we have to take it on the chin. Ref had nothing to do with us losing today. We were poor, especially defensively.
What ? He definitely didn’t fall for our terrible penalty shouts and diving for a start !

Don’t be so thick, it wasn’t the refs fault we lost today. How about blaming the players, or the club who has left de zerbi with no defensive midfielder?

Talking of thick - where did I say it was the refs fault we lost today? See what you want to see as usual.
Grow up. You're a what, 50? year old man who has a big girly tantrum on here every time we lose.

Let’s get him to point out the tantrum and where I’ve said it was the refs fault we lost / very simple to back up accusations… it’ll be easy for him I assume…
So chilled - never too high never too low as my posts on here and actual human conversations at the game will testify. Think he’s had a tantrum and is trying to see things that aren’t there

More irritated by the stomewall (under current interpretation) handball in the second half.
Odd that when our players can't avoid a handball it's an immediate penalty, but our opponents have them waved away.
Presumably Mike Dean was on VAR and tbought Taylor had taken enough abuse for one game.

We were rubbish. So was the ref.

Amusingly Michael is now on the Sky Saturday afternoon show ….but he’s sat behind a screen on his own away from the other pundits

He chooses not to go to games yet just pick holes in opinions on here. On the tv you prob didn’t see the 3-4 off the ball ‘injuries’ West Ham had then suddenly recovered from - whilst Taylor delayed the game 30 secs. He fell for everything is all I said - yet posters jump on it and take it wrong. He was shockingly naive and shit.
Because this isn't a thread about those things. It's a thread about the ref. No one on here has said we lost because of him.

I saw him wave away several valid claims for fouls (and 2 penalties) by Brighton players but give free kicks each time a West Ham player shielded the ball, waited for contact and dived forward. As you say naive, or bent, and shit. Maybe Moyes is also his mate, along with Dean?
