yesterdays ref

Deserves a lot of credit in how he handled and controlled the game throughout 10/10 a refreshing change not to be moaning about one

 

I think collochini should have been red carded for the foul on fletcher
That was pre meditated and done in an attempt to put fletcher out of the game

Otherwise, agreed

 

Aye good points, however, based on his overall performance, he was excellent !

 

For not booking Catts in the 1st minute (most other refs would have based on reputation alone) and the 2 advantages he played in the goal build-up, I would have to agree.

 

Personally I thought the ref was a homer, and gave every 50/50 the Skunks way..We had to beat him as well as the team..

 

I had the same impression, booked Coates first chance, and Catts second chance, Tiote committed at least five fouls before he was punished, Colochini's, disgraceful cowardley attack on Fletch merited a red , Catts booked for impeeding a breakaway correctly given a yellow but when the similar fouls were committed against AJ in the lead up to the goal, yes, he played advantage but surely he should have got the book out later. And some of the free kicks they were given where laughable, Colback obstructed a break into their box and was awarded a free kick for his troubles. All you can say was he didn't affect the game too much and for that we must be thankful, but any praise should be tempered with caution in my opinion.

 

Aye, sums it up.

 

True, my first thoughts were we are in deep **** with this ref but he did improve.

 

Cattermole a booking was almost identical to something colback did to stop Larsson getting down the wing. But as colback was on a yellow the ref didn't book him. To me a booking is a booking whether you're booked or not

 

A difficult game to handle from start to finish ,according to what colour glasses one wears as always ,i still think he had a fine match imo

 

This! It was either a calculated attempt at inflicting damage on a players known weak spot or a brain dead stupid attempt at getting the ball/player! Coloccini's not daft, so I would suggest the former, the horrible bastard! Fortunately he didnt catch him as flush as he could have had! Once a player tries something as cowardly as that they deserve to lose the game!!! That Neymar broke his back as a result of a similar incident!
