Sh*thousery by the Referee 07:43 - Mar 2 with 4203 views | numptydumpty | In injury time in the second half, someone threw a bottle at one of their players from the safe standing section (Stan Bowles) stand. It landed off the pitch. But the referee ran from the centre circle, right over to where it landed, picked it up and then ran directly right across the pitch and placed it, in front of one of the dug outs, off the pitch, then ran to the centre circle and then blew his whistle to restart the game. This took nearly two minutes of the six minutes injury time. Great sh*thousery by the ref. Did Sheffield s job for them !!! CCTV could surely have sorted this. Was this absolutely necessary ??

Did take a stupidly long time (yes it shouldn’t have to have happened etc etc) and I thought at the time we were unlikely to get the time back. Considering the performance I think R block regulars deserve some praise for it only being the one. Very old school to throw a lighter when every other person has a vape. |  | |  |

That lino was on a bung according to the chap behind me. Every 50/50 decision went against us and he wasn't too happy at the refs blatant time wasting Ref should have got a yellow for that !! |  |

Sh*thousery by the Referee on 08:05 - Mar 2 with 2422 views | Ned_Kennedys | Whoever threw the bottle will probably get a stadium ban and deservedly so. It was that person who wasted time, not the referee. |  | |  |
Sh*thousery by the Referee on 08:09 - Mar 2 with 2399 views | mart_Goblin | I agree with this . I said on another thread that it felt like both he and linesman were both metaphorically sticking 2 fingers up at us at the end. Don’t get wrong , if someone throws something in a football stadium then they are an idiot who deserves to be kicked out and dealt with . But what struck me was the item was no where near the linesman or the playing surface and was right up against the wall . He was in the centre circle and instead of just going straight to the 4th official and reporting the incident and using the cctv that’s in place , he showed the most amazing bit of ‘peacokery’…showing us all his feathers and plumage as he deliberately ran the clock down making us all watch him slowly jog to and fro across the pitch . If the item is on the playing surface then fine. If the item is a danger to the Lino then fine . But with 2 mins left I thought it was actually ridiculous and unnecessary. [Post edited 2 Mar 10:44]

Sh*thousery by the Referee on 08:15 - Mar 2 with 2342 views | Wegerles_Stairs | Thought him and the linesman on that side were awful. The ref was a typical homer (for the away side) sucking up to the team likely to be in the Premier League next season. If the lino did his job properly, he wouldn't get lighters thrown at him. QED. It was after the challenge on Dembele, wasn't it? How he cannot flag for that I don't know. [Post edited 2 Mar 8:17]

Sh*thousery by the Referee on 08:21 - Mar 2 with 2318 views | mart_Goblin | Just to clarify , I think it was a lighter . And to also clarify , it’s irrelevant what was thrown , the idiot who threw it should be banned for a long time . |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Yes agree the supporter will get a ban. But is it protocol to pick it up, run across the pitch etc. It was off the pitch. The incident was noted and surely that was enough ?? CCTV can do the rest [Post edited 2 Mar 8:28]

Sh*thousery by the Referee on 08:30 - Mar 2 with 2252 views | Wegerles_Stairs | The decision not to send off Choudury summed that ref up. Would have booked him for the foul on Koki if he hadn't already been on a yellow but bottled it and Wilder subbed him off soon afterwards. Down to ten men for the last quarter and it's a different game. It's weird, when I watch The Big Match Revisited they seem less awful - maybe we need Brian Moore to announce where they're from before kick-off to improve things. |  | |  |

Some of these refs just like to do odd things. There was that one who kept doing funny little sprints from the goalkeeper up to the halfway line. Scratch the surface and most of them are Cooting away. |  | |  |
Sh*thousery by the Referee on 08:36 - Mar 2 with 2240 views | ted_hendrix | There was I believe 9 minutes of added time basically giving us 99 minutes of football In which to put the football into the Sheffield United's net three time, Ifso factso winning the game. Every week once we've lost a game It's the same old twaddle on here about crap officials. |  |

That guys running style was hilarious. The speaker system should have played the Benny Hill tune to accompany his little stretches and sprints !! |  |

I didn't think the foul on Koki was a 2nd yellow but he could have had one at the end of 1st half for all the time wasting performance taking throws. |  |

Sheffield Utd weren’t better than us at all.They were more clinical in that they scored with their 2 shots on target while we missed ours.No way were they better than us in any other department. |  | |  |

Indeed. Up where we sit most thought we only got that penalty as Smyth and the crowd appealed so loud. Ludicrous to blame the ref, think they’re getting sick to death of featherweight footballers tumbling about at every even half hearted challenge. |  | |  |

"Ludicrous to blame the ref, think they’re getting sick to death of featherweight footballers tumbling about at every even half hearted challenge. " The issue I have is that the ref wasn't consistent - SU player tumbles over, free kick, Rangers player does the same, play on. |  |

Yeah, this 100%. The ref's inconsistency and repeated rewarding of their continual falling over yesterday was very frustrating. |  | |  |

They walked that game, and never had to get out of 2nd gear. Their midfield bossed ours, their movement was better, their control of the game was better. Nothing wrong with that, they spent a fortune and are still pretty crap and they'll get battered next season. We are still unable to control a game and put sustained pressure on teams, we are a counter attack team due to the ongoing problem in central midfield. We gave it a good go though, but Sheff Utd deserved it. |  | |  |
