He got that bit right - no thuggery or sly stuff preventing clear cut counters. The Albion players must have stayed respectful, against their instinct, in those many long lectures from Friend.

The penalty was about the only decision he got right all day.. The Locadia offside was an absolute joke. Useless
Just...but only just...offside. Just watched it on the full match re-run that’s on Sky now. Not an ‘absolute joke’, but a very tight decision they almost certainly got right

Game of opinions, just watched the same footage which confirmed what I thought at the time. Onside, PS I sit in the West Lower and was pretty much in line. Each to their own...
I’m only quoting based on the TV replay.......also WSL but the other end, and at the time our reaction was ‘WTF’....

Thought it was hard to know from the TV, Pen was 100% stick on though, but Friend was so poor and the west st Lino, what was he on?

You’re absolutely right......but even if he’d been good I don’t think we’d have won the game.
Correct....we didn’t have a shot on target.

Personally I don't think a couple of their players were very respectful, one in particular. I would have taken a game full of cards over a game full of chats, which is what Friend loves to do.
Someone needs to hook his mic up to the speakers so we all know why chunks of the match we've paid to see are being lost.

Couldn’t go to the game but he sounds like an absolute tosser

His man cave will be extra full tonight with red shirts. We didn’t play well but every time we even touched them he blew up like a star struck teenager

If I could change anything in the sport, it would be to see 4th officials have the power and be forced to add on ALL time wasted, not just PL but at all levels including at WC’s.
(Said hypocritically, as we must have hung on to famous and nervy wins before by ‘game management’).
Not a particularly Albion v LFC bugbear. I recall tons of cntish teams such as Cardiff coming to the Amex and wasting time from the first second.

He’s hated by LFC fans for past performances which went against them. He always seems to piss off a club.

I thought it was the ref who decided how much added time there was to play and just passed this to the 4th official.

I thought the same. Under my wish, the under-employed 4th official would take over that aspect.

I listened to the BBC Radio Sussex commentary whilst at the game (useful for those distant incidents when you can't really see what happened, etc) and I recall one point well into the second half when Wazza said something along the lines of "28,000 of us can't be wrong about all these poor decisions" (or words to that effect!). The fact that CH in his typically measured way mildly queried the decisions shows that they were somewhat ridiculous/biased, and that's without my blue and white tinted glasses on too.
