All refs get decisions wrong, but not like this ref - probably the most consistently **** performance I think I've seen from a ref. Truly shocking.
One of you (who knows how to do video editing) needs to make a compilation of this ref and his decisions - will be fun to see, and if it's well made might ensure that Muppet doesn't ref another game anytime soon. Shooting the ball into a player's arm in the box = penalty! Kicking someone in the head in the box = nothing! Then not stopping play while Michu lies bleeding on the turf, letting them attack with a man down with a head injury - because that somehow isn't in his book. Then giving him a yellow card for being agitated with blood streaming down his face... The yellow to Davis was another gem, clean tackle = yellow of course, why not? Probably a few I missed, only half watching your game, but seems you played with 10 men vs 12 for long periods of this game.
St Gallen lot better than I thought they'd be. Fair play they had a real go. Hope we have qualification sown up before we go there.
Phew that was a tough match. Good to get 3 points but a very hard fought game that I think Swansea didn't get into before second half... On top of that the ref also was bad... Important to get points from that match but could have been St. Gallen who went with them as I see it.
The problem as I see it is that we have to use thesquad at the same time we're trying to form partnerships -tough to do - but tonight showed we had balls and the ref was balls!
Fine win tonight against a very good side. DeGuzman had a huge game. Comfortably the worst referee I've seen in years - some of those decisions were a disgrace.
If we played an Premier League team today, we would have lost with those mistakes in our defense. But we got 3 points. And that's is all that counts.
Did he get a yellow? Or was the ref just making a note that he had no number. Didn't show him the card.
Got to applaud their noisy fans and their hard-working team. How the hell they're in the Swiss second division, I don't know. Glad it's out of the way.
Was that ref on the take or wha? Utterly shockingly **** show by the officials. Do UEFA review these matches? we were quite slow but battled hard, St Gallen were very physical and pretty dirty too. Tiendalli was terrible for me, caught out of position lots and did little of value defensively. The Michu fiasco is gonna get all the headlines. WHAT THE FCUK DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET A BLOODY PENALTY!
