First goal , shocking reactions from defenders , let alone the free header. Second goal nuhui gave ball away when he had options left and right . Fourth goal let snodgrass waltz through then pudil fouled him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) there’s some sort of conspiracy to keep them down C) if they have a major rival then point B is something to do with them (Man City are big on this) That may be so but how can one foul in 94 minutes of football not start alarm bells ringing ? You can bet if it had been a Premiership match SSN would have a discussion about it on a loop for the next week. It just defies logic simple as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he got all of the important decisions right and was in the right place at the right time on all big calls. So what did he do wrong? AV and Bruce's teams know how to play the officials, they know when it's good to drop at the slightest touch and they know how to pressurise him as a collective...every AV player had a go at the ref at one time or another but none crossed a line. He may have missed a couple of things for us that could have been important, but he missed a couple for them too...refs make mistakes. We got angry because AV did their job...they turned us around at KO. They niggled and dropped at nothing. They got the rub of the green and almost every 2nd ball...they were just a bit better than us even though we did well and played ok. They were given opportunities to put in crosses from silly free kicks (and they were free kicks). Their set pieces were fantastic. Their goals were pretty good...the first one scrappy but they stuck theirs away we didn't finish our scrappy one. I'm an ex ref and I didn't see much wrong with what the ref did today other than I think he missed 3 free kicks we should have had but he was much closer to them than me. Neg me if you want to express your frustration and any remaining anger...but I'm not far wrong Firstly if you cannot see what this ref did wrong a trip to Specsavers is needed and secondly where have you been as the neg has been removed for over a week or more.

markg Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 fair play. probably won't get a response. Don't know why you are getting a hard time. anyone that went yesterday must know that there was some fixing going on. As for saying it is something that the pigs would do, well there is plenty to take the mickey out of the pigs for but trying to do something about the FA screwing them over isn't really one of them in my book. We are too nice and lenient as a fan base. God knows what it would take to make us angry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 3 hours ago, HOSTAGE IN PYONGYANG said: I have sent the following letter to fa@info.com It will be in the bin by now. "Dear Sirs, I would like the FA to investigate the level of officiating during the Sheffield Wednesday vs Aston Villa played at Hillsborough yesterday. I know as a paying member of the public I cannot instigate a full enquiry, but the FA, as the regulatory body should be aware of what happened at the game. Firstly the amount of fouls awarded was somewhat disproportionate. 16 to 1. I find this very strange. I am aware that refereeing is a difficult job to do, but 16 to 1 seems to suggest one team were 16 times more, shall we say physical, than the other. This was not the case. Secondly the overall standard of the officials was somewhat one-sided. I have never written to the FA before, as in the past I have assumed the referee had made poor judgements, as we all do. Sadly that cannot be said of the referee in yesterdays games, as the decision making was consistently poor. I look forward to your response. Regards" The problem is mate, one berates you the rest follow like sheep. But just look at the posters names, they are all in the same clique. They voice their opinions on someone else's. You have only done what most of the fan base wanted to do yesterday. Straight after the game quite a few on here were saying how corrupt the ref appeared was. but then have a go at you for having the balls to try and do something.

IIRC one was because a player when a ball went out for a throw in for them the ref gave it the other way. Player said What, that's our ball? and was sent off for dissent. Ref blew for full time immediately went over to the opposition players had a laugh and a joke with them and walked off with his arm around one of their players shoulders.

Thank a lot pal, but I do not respect the opinions of people who didn't go, then comment "Villa are better than us". They were not yesterday.

Guest mkowl Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 You forgot that for the 3rd the ball went out of play before the cross that got them the corner. There was a doubt about that but that one does like it might have brushed off a defenders back. However it was the all round reffing all game that irks in addition to those key moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is no 'poor us' self serving boll0cks. Poor refs are poor refs. We have them most weeks.

Any other week I'd agree. Easy to point the finger at the ref. When usually they're just poor. Equally poor. He was something else. I actually wish we'd won. Not just because overall the lads didn't deserve to lose as they were worth at least a draw. But also because so many people going mad about a ref when you've won gets taken more seriously.
