Refereeing 12:30 - Aug 17 with 2127 views | Kerouac | The refereeing last night was appalling, it seems to be the norm. Every game I watch as the officials tolerate multiple, cynical, yellow card worthy offences from our opposition...and then book us at the first opportunity they get. Last night (I haven't checked) I wouldn't be surprised if we had the same amount of yellow cards as Millwall...a team that was as dirty as they come. Who at the club is holding the authorities to account over this? - Latibeaudiere was deliberately injured. The left sided centre-back Wallace had no intention of getting the ball, he lined Latibeaudiere up and aggressively put his whole body weight through Lati as he started to jump. I knew instantly that he was injured. I turned to the bloke next to me (who was following the ball and didn't seem concerned) and said; "that's Lati done, a dislocated shoulder I'd bet". Apparently the referee and the linesman, who was stood yards away couldn't see what I could see from the other side of the pitch though...and do you know what? I don't believe it. - McNamara was one of the dirtiest little sh*ts I've ever seen down here. He repeatedly got away with late tackles where he missed the ball completely and went straight through people's ankles. Each of them was worth a yellow. 4 in a row. He was allowed to hobble Manning before the ref finally gave him a card. Manning continued but was eventually substituted as a consequence of not being 100% and picking up a yellow card himself. McNamara should have been sent off. - There was another awful challenge on Grimes, it looked like it was a deliberate attempt to injure Grimes to me...I think it was Saville. Who in management is doing something about this? Complain, make it public, put pressure on refs, talk about it in press conferences...but most importantly, when the opposition starts with this sh*te, why not temporarily bring someone like Wood into the midfield (just for 5 mins) to mark someone who is dishing it out and order him to kick the git into the stands. It would be worth a booking just to let the oppo know that we won't be standing for it even if the ref is. Nigel Pearson https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62423051 [Post edited 17 Aug 2022 12:33]

Refereeing on 12:43 - Aug 17 with 2095 views | jasper_T | The problem with Manning is that he was diving and dishing out a few cynical fouls of his own, as he always does. Referees and assistants aren't going to protect a player doing that. Darling is made of similar stuff. Always moaning and toppling under little to no contact. The assistant on their side the first half very quickly lost interest, it seemed. | | | |

Same outcome but Pulling a shirt isn't quite the same as going out to deliberately to injure your opponent , | |

Refereeing on 13:56 - Aug 17 with 1985 views | onehunglow | Manning not in the same class as that lot. Why do you think such scum play for a team like Millwall,the sewer of football. Leon seem be have morphed into a benign clown suggesting that challenge on Lati was ok and normal. It was mean to cripple the lad Frankly,Im glad Im not involved as I feel Rowett wants a Kirkby Kiss | |

Refereeing on 16:32 - Aug 17 with 1921 views | OptimisticJack | Some poor decisions from the ref. A strange one for me was when Lati was being treated for his serious injury. Yes it was off the field of play but yet the ref allowed the play to continue immediately alongside the injured player. I feared a player or players clattering into a seriously injured player whilst being treated on the ground. It was a relief to see the play move away from that area. | |
