Owl At Risk Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 5 minutes ago, Not Jon Newsome said: Hardly the refs fault, Grigg came back on the pitch without permission. So is the correct decision for him to stop play, take it back to restart from a previous infringement, giving Wigan possession at restart, and then immediately give Grigg permission to come on...or would the correct decision have been to stop play, deal with/punish Grigg's new infringement and restart play with Wednesday in possession? i.e how can a Wigan player breaking the rules, while the ball is in play, result in Wigan having the restart as a result?

S72 Owl Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Same as the other week when some were complaining about the ref, I don’t think he was that bad yesterday. No referee can get every decision right. I was on Kop for the Reach penalty claim so didn’t have the best view but Reach didn’t even claim for a penalty which suggests the ref got it right. The fouls on Hutch were fouls. Don’t want to see Yellows for slightly mistimed tackles. We’d be going crazy if Hutch had been booked for something similar.

Buxtongent Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 So, it's finally come to this. A Referee is judged by the number of cards he gives out! The best games I have seen have few yellows. The occasional admonition by the Ref butplay allowed to continue. A Good Ref does not need to be brandishing his yellow card all the time. To me, an abundance of yellow cards usually shows that the Ref has lost control of the game. I well remember the time before cards, when the Ref actually BOOKED players, and this happened infrequently. The current game, with its constant stop and start to card players not only shows the standards of Refereeing has gone down, but so has the standard of conduct of the players.

He didn’t get booked either. Nice to see a ref keeping his cards in his pocket, imo. Usually makes for a better game Edited January 20, 2019 by sibon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the handball in the first half again though when Fletcher's shot was blocked, their player looked to put both hands up. Hutch would definitely have been carded if he'd made the thigh high challenge that went unpunished against him. The Reach one was a great tackle had a perfect view of it from the north If tackles like that one are going to be called and pens given then we may as well give up on Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I must have blanked the handball out - I do vaguely remember some shouts a few times. But despite you view that the ref was awful, there's been no thread until today and no clamour from the Owlstalk meltdown crew. FACT See the reactions to my first comment on this thread...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I thought the referee was far too lenient on some of the tackles coming in from the Wigan players, there should have been 3 Wigan players cautioned in the first half, and a couple more second half, the Wigan player that got booked first should have been cautioned twice before he actually got cautioned. And i’d Like to see the tackle on Bannan again, because from where I was sat it looked like a lunge with both feet off the ground and could easily have been red. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I don’t think any of the officials had a bad game yesterday. I recall a challenge on Reach in the first half. He was through on goal before being take down by a defender. It was an incredible challenge where by he legitimately got the ball against the odds. No penalty. And rightly so. The the Kop burst into a rendition of ‘We only get poo refs’. It’s all about perspective. I personally didn’t feel as though there were many decisions that I could disagree with.

Harrysgame Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 4 hours ago, oldishowl said: The problem is that they tend not to show yellow cards early in games because it means they could probably end up sending somebody off. There were two or three challenges on Hutch in the first 30 minutes that would have got yellows second half. You can get away with all sorts first 30 Don't get this, why are they so against sending players off? Not like it matters to them on bit, if a foul is worthy of a yellow then give it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 They would say they do all they can to keep 11 on the pitch. If they book players early then they get themselves into the position like when we played Derby. The ref booked the big centre back early, he then committed another bad foul on Lees but the ref just gave a foul when it should have been another yellow. He then gave another foul against him and then he fouled Matias on the edge of the box . Because he would have had to send him off he didn’t even give the foul. Lampard subbed him at halftime to save the ref further embarrassment. The whole episode was a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have booked Garner about 14 times. Every one of their fouls was a foot left in on our players, should have been cut out early on. He missed 2 hand balls in the box, along with another couple outside. Missed all the shenanigans off the ball from Wigan, kicks and trips after the play had finished or just blocking runs off the ball. His marking out of the 10 yards with his spray was comical though. Saved me typing it out ! Wigan weren't another PNE but were niggly all the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomtheOwl95 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Peter Bankes is a poor referee, yesterday he was terrible for both sides. Missed obvious fouls, gave fouls for nothing. I'd say we were on the fortunate side of if in the 2nd half but the 1st half he was giving everything to Wigan. He seems to not be able to control games for me, seen him in games not involving Wednesday and he's exactly the same. Linesman was awful, three blatant throw ins that were given to Wigan after their player had put it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAnotherShez Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Thought Fletcher should have had some free kicks in the first half. that big CH (one with bird poo on head) kept pushing him off balance just before the chance to head.

Oliver Cromwell Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Thought he had an OK game, I shouted for the penalties for the fun of it though I was too far away to see. Having watched the highlights I think he got the decisions right, the handball in the first half might have been given by some refs. Home fans can be a little biased though!!!

This. Both of those could have been straight reds. Two blatant handballs in the box and possible pen onnreach. Allowed so much time wasting ( though he did add on 11 mins extra time) and what was that about after 15 mins when he stopped the game to have a chat with the bench? Thought he was garbage.

Dot Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Don't think he was as bad as some are making out... but he was poor Wigan came for the draw and were time wasting from the off and he didn't do anything. Then when we were 1-0 up he started rushing everything He allowed the Wigan defence to boss him about as well, that was bizarre, they wouldn't go back from free kicks etc, happened several times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
