I think he was wondering just that when he appeared to all the world to be daydreaming about something much more interesting when he should have been ball watching. Could easily have been 4-0 right there. Knew we wouldn't get too many decisions for us when one of their players takes a whack to the face with the ball, falls over and gets a free kick. You gotta laugh.
I didn't think we played all that badly today. Before they scored their first, I thought we were arguably the better side (shame Long messed up his two opportunities), and even after they scored, we still looked decent and could well have equalised. On another day, we might have gotten a free kick, and their second goal wouldn't have occurred. At the start of the second half we looked up for it, but when they got the third, it was game over, they bossed it, and it was just a case of damage limitation.
There has got to be a stewards enquiry over the referee, or else the FA will lose all creditability. He was constantly behind the play, unable to keep up, constantly giving free kicks when the team he gave the free kick to had the ball. He gave them a free kick on the edge of the box as soon as one of theirs fell over....f**king disgrace. As for the Jelaivc foul, he gave the decision of no foul despite been 30 yards behind the play. Letter to the FA is in the post... Come on FA grow some balls and throw this joker onto the scrapheap.
The ref was ****e, and way behind play, but even though he was 20 or 30 yds away, he seem to give Arsenal the benefit of the doubt with free kicks, but when we were fouled he would let play continue. One of those says, if Livermore shot that hit the post went in, or either Long and Chester's chances had gone in, it would have been a different game. Put it behind us, and move on now.
Moss, a champ ref at best, promoted to the Prem this season...Gordon Bennett...We might as well give up now. I know that ref a game is not easy but this specimen seemed to lose all connection to common sense and logic. Why would Jelavic go to ground when he had the ball at his feet and was attacking their goal. Just doesn't make sense, and if it doesn't make sense he was fouled.
Funny old game, this one. I thought we were outstanding in the first half - probably the best I've seen us all season - with their midfield swamped and hurried and their defence utterly shambolic. But bang, twice; the class told when it was needed. The third killed it stone dead and they then had the breathing space to give us a footballing lesson. At least we'll be even bigger underdogs at Wembley now though, and - hopefully - we'll have a referee who doesn't pander to their lily-livered, screeching, diving, continental whims.
Unable to get to the KC today so had the benefit of watching the game on Sky and seeing the replays. Must say jelavic did go down a bit easily as it looked like he could have stayed on his feet if he had wanted too , its one of those occasions where 8/10 refs would have given a foul but it just happened that in this instance it wasn't given and we were punished. Had it been in the Penalty area you could say it would have been a soft penalty if awarded.

What was wrong? Can't you just watch the game and realise that officials make as many mistakes as players and managers? This, full agreement. Has Andre Villas Boas got a job?
Arsenal were clinical in the final third so fair play to them for that. We needed Livermore's shot to go in off the post and it would have been game on. Totally crap ref got loads of decisions wrong - teams like Arsenal don't need to get decisions going their way.
It just wasn't quite accurate enough. He hit it well so maybe he might have had the goalkeeper beat had it been a few inches more on target.
I can and I do. I really hope there wasn't something important you could've been doing around the house when you wasted time on that post
