Looking at the red card on tv one has to question why the ref and lino thought it was a red for one player and not for the other. Yesterday throughout the championship the standard of reffing was a joke the sooner VAR comes down the leagues the better some of these jokers are killing the game.

Holmowl Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 For the first time in my zillion years watching Wednesday I did ask myself that very question after half an hour yesterday. I genuinely could not believe how badly Fox, Butters, Fred and Wildsmith were playing. I think we are looking too closely at the ref’s influence. The guys that influenced the outcome yesterday wore blue and white. But no, the game was not fixed. We were just staggeringly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR was used in the Rennes v PSG game last week and a bad tackle incident was sorted in 30 seconds, resulting in a red that otherwise couldn’t fairly have been given. And the injured player was down for 3 minutes so no time was wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Apparently it was the same ref we had against Derby who gave a penalty and sent Loovens off but totally did the opposite with a similar situation at the other end involving Fletcher. Yesterday you’ve got an incident where it’s two yellows or two reds. There’s no way it’s a red card for one player. When you see decisions like the ones we are seeing, it’s natural that fans, players and managers are going to get angry and frustrated but nothing will change because the officials will never be held accountable in the same way other football professionals seem to held?

It was just a combination of a young keeper’s mistakes, poor officiating and a team with fragile confidence after recently have a run of the worse performances for over two years.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I can understand people thinking it was fixed In my opinion it wasn't fixed Just another game ruined by incompetent officials Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

GY-owl.4 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 my Lad is 12 now but i remember 3 seasons ago when he was 9/10, we was travelling to a game and he was calling Scott Duncan the 'worst ref, who cheats' even back then. Ive seen nowt in the 3 years since to think he is wrong. Scott Duncan, hang your head in shame for being such a cheating van/car. nowt anyone says will make me change my mind. destroy everything he loves.

bigash_swfc Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I've got a feeling things like this need to happen, so we can learn from them. It might turn out to be a positive. In terms of league experience, Pelupessy was way off the pace and when your bedding in a young keeper, its natural that your aim isn't to achieve top 6. Look at Evertons backward trend since allowing Pickford the oppurtunity. Butterfield, Loovens shouldn't really play again for us. And Fox, still has alot of potential, I wouldn't want to bin him off, like most do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
