The Premier League Thread

Dreadful, dreadful ..... officiating in the premier league is turning into a farce .....

 

Once they bin off Lee Mason things will instantly get a lot better.

 

True - him and Mike Dean are just an embarrassment these days ......

 

Sky pundits didn't make that much fuss when it happened to us!

 

Difference is Marriner blew the whistle after we took the kick.

 

JWP anticipated as the Ref put the whistle in his mouth, you can hear the peep as he kicked the ball. The difference is that Mason blew twice.

 

JWP kicked the ball just before the whistle went.

 

Connolly, snap.

 

Would've been disallowed anyway. Maupay handballed it.

 

Miliseconds, if it wasn't ok to play why put the whistle in your mouth. Again I didn't say that Marriner was wrong, that's still debatable but can't be changed, I am just saying that Mason did blow to play but immediately blew again to stop.

 

You have to wait until you hear the whistle. Until the referee actually blows the whistle, he hasn't said it's ok to restart.

 

Of course, but that delay could be the difference in taking an opportunity or missing it. There have been many incidences where the Referee hasn't blown the whistle at all and just let it happen!

 

Not sure that is a penalty. Didnt he touch the ball first?

 

Oh dear!

 

Was that offside from the penalty?

 

Yes Lee it's a free kick. Someone else has to touch the ball after it comes off the post.

 

Do you think that Brighton have acquired some of our luck?

 

Taker can't touch the ball if it comes off the woodwork.

 

Blimey ..... Brighton need their shooting boots on ....

 

Ta, didnt know that.

Did you think I it was even a penalty, looked like he played the ball, and was taken so quick I didnt think VAR looked at it.
