But Glas, were you there?
Utter garb. Ref was very good

Should he have disallowed the own goal? We lost because we were toothless again. No ones fault but the players on the pitch and Hughton.
If there are any complaints about the ref they should be coming from Wolves. Kayal was a walking yellow but somehow got away with it (noticed he had a few cosy chats with the ref), Bruno could have been off and he took note of the time wasting and added more. One of the better ones we've had this season for me.

Ref was fine by me, in fact one of the better.

No issue with the ref today just our misfiring team
Awful ref, challenges from behind unpunished, waving play on and then not pulling a lay back when still in same phase.
Time wasting unpunished.....
Edit - not the reason we lost though

Wow I thought he was the worst ref this season but reading this thread maybe I was looking through stripe tinted glasses. If so, ref, I apologize for calling you a w*nker several times this afternoon.

Indeed, I hardly noticed the referee today - thought he was far better than the one against Ipswich. True, he could have penalised the Wolves keeper for time wasting, but have you ever seen the six second rule enforced? I haven't.
I thought today's ref, like tuesday's, seemed to let too much grabbing and pulling back go, for my liking. I thought their player who kicked Calderon when the ball wasn't near him should have been booked. But today, that was pretty much my only complaint. When their keeper tried to go down again late on, he wasn't having any of it, when they wasted time he just added it on, and there was another incident where Bruno clearly fouled their player, and he did nothing. I don't think we can really complain too much about the ref today.
Time wasting is a hard one for refs to get right in the eyes of many fans. If he starts booking players, he gets yelled at because he is holding play up while he waves the card and makes his notes. If he doesn't book them, people ignore the time he adds on and demand he take action. And to be fair to the keeper, he took the goal kick from the same side every time. I've seen keepers change sides late on depending on how they can waste time. The only time wasting the keeper did in earnest was the feigning of injury twice, other than that he didn't do too much more than you generally get in the course of the match.

He let the game flow and not needlessly blowing up for everything, the way the game should be played. It's a CONTACT sport.
As for time wasting, he added a fair few minutes on the end, over the five.

It was in the 70's and 80's, but those days are gone.
He didn't seem to grasp the fact that you can pull play back now.
As for the goalie having the ball in his hands for 19 secs........ Ridiculous.

Load of cr@p, I wanna watch a game that flows and some tackles are let go as opposed to just breathing on an opponent , and him rolling about like he's been shot. Ref had a good game today, it's just sour grapes from some of our supporters who like a scapegoat.
As Dunk or JFC weren't available for selection today, it was the ref or the pitch.
I thought he did quite well by us today -
* Could have booked Kayal, but didn't.
* Could have given Bruno a second yellow (and that would be a disaster) but didn't.
* Added extra time over and above the 5 minutes stipulated by the 4th. official to counter the time wasting.
