[Albion] Yesterday's Ref

[birthofanorange]

Brilliant ref when we win shocker. This is as bad as the shit ref when we lose threads.

Not at all - it simply makes a welcome change when there aren't any controversial decisions, so credit where it's due, surely....for balance, if nothing else.

pretty sure a fair few of the shite ref threads have been in games we’ve won

Think there was a fairly substantial one after the Liverpool Cup game

 

[Weststander]

He was very good, I just didn’t notice him, the way it should be.

Helped by the Albion simply coming to play football and West Ham naively thought they could too.

Areola in the first half did take the p with, you’ve guessed it, time wasting. Once we got the opener, it killed that stone dead

Win game = ref is good
Lose game = ref is bad

Absolutely not the case at all. Really isn’t.

Not necessarily……its just that people will talk about the ref more (sometimes but not always as an excuse) if we lose and hes been bad…its inevitable ….but there are times…such as the recent cup game when the geezer in the middle and the ones jogging down the line will still get some criticism

You’re right, I’m sure we had a shite ref for one of the recent Liverpool games

Not always. As mentioned a couple of posts back I think we are all still staggered by the ineptitude of the officials involved in our WIN against Liverpool in the cup. Ref, Assistant Ref, VAR all of 'em were absolutely shite.

Fine ok that happens. But you'll never see a thread praising the ref after a loss.

Liverpool should have been down to 8 players.

Best bit about yesterday was .......no VAR....are they on strike for higher pay like the majority of the country ?

I think it’s pretty simple. Most of our moans about refereeing are to do with time-wasting and deliberate cheating. We scored first so there was none of that to worry about.

VAR is always used to check every single goal. This has been debunked and explained around a hundred times in the last week on here alone. Don’t mean to have a pop at you, it’s just very irritating to see the same point being made, completely incorrectly, on so many threads.
