HarryBosch Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 you couldn't make it up couldn't see the pen but wouldn't be surprised if it was bollox has anyone ever seen or heard of the oppositions fans berating the referee for wrongly sending an opposition player off? after yesterdays Chelsea-Villa incident where both the attacker and defender dived to get/prevent a penalty (which has hardly recieved a mention as it's now the norm) it's restored my faith in football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 it was a penalty. I called it before he whistled. Mick Fletcher 1 sept 2001 away at Tranmere is still the worst performance I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 worst ref since Ian Williamson (that game at Peterborough in December 2008) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I sometimes feel sorry for refs. Everyone calls them when they've made bad decisions, yet they get no credit when they do well. But jeez - this bloke day today was just incompetent. It would be quicker to go through the decisions he got right than the ones he got wrong. Dale's defender chops Evina down and it isn't a freekick. He does it again and it's a red card. Spoilt the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tounkara getting booked for standing his ground was another bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Having seen the red card on telly he does rather go in with his studs showing and foot off the ground. If Rochdale appeal it, they'll lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst refereeing performance I can ever remember was Phillip Don, we were at home to Norwich early nineties in the Premiership, we lost 3-2 and Ruel Fox scored a goal when he was about 5 yards offside, I think Chris Makin got sent off as well, an absolutely shocking display of refereeing and judgement, he was a complete tool. That Kevin Friend is also a shocking ref as well, I've seen some unbelievably incompetant displays from him over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makin was sent off the year after, think he scored in that game too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 That Kevin Friend is also a shocking ref as well, I've seen some unbelievably incompetant displays from him over the years. Think he has been bad in the past but it was mainly all in our favour. IIRC we've won about 80% of the games he has reffed us in, including the 5-0 demolition of Forest when even Rocky scored.

FLH1993 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 compare that so called premiership referee's performance with Mark Halsey's when he reffed us a while back. Gulf in class is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Their No. 2 got away with about five bookable challenges, including two on Evina and one on White. And yet when the ref showed him a straight red for that tackle from behind (booking at most) there was a massive chant of "You're not fit to referee" - from the Oldham fans. It was never a penalty either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 If Hazell's nudged him in the back it's a foul. What makes you think otherwise? Because he didn't give it for that one - he gave it for the second one. He then checks back and decides he's given it against Hazell and played advantage, even though he plainly didn't. Or you can have it your way and he pulled play back after Hazell's robust challenge. Surely it's advantage over when the guy has a header on goal?
