Referee Yesterday

[Andy @ Allerton]

Thought he was very biased towards Chelsea

 

Did his decisions look reasonable on the telly?

 

And what was the script when the linesman gave a corner, the referee seemed to point to the corner, then changed his mind, then let them take the freekick about 20 yards away from where the incident happened?

[Cooger]

He's one of the worst in the league.

 

Don't think he understands the advantage rule. If he can, he'll blow his whistle.

First half he didn't have much to do, thought he was consistently conned by SWP in the second, when did he turn into such a cheat?

Should have had a pen for the foul on Crouch but we become accustomed to not getting blatent pens against the chavs, seems to be at least one per fixture, and maybe Drogba should have been booked for his elbow in the first.

 

I've seen much, much worse refs this season though.

[Guest Ant]

He was very poor

Speaking of refs, anyone see uriah rennie at newcastle yesterday? Looked like he had a few too many mince pies over christmas

[Guest Kaizer]

We were denied a obvious penalty, how he managed to not give us that one I really dont know.

The Chelsea players seem to know they can do whatever they like to our players in the area and get away with it, been going on for years, they must f***ing love it.

Particulary annoying as when Kuyt or Crouch went anywhere near thier defenders the ref was blowing for a free kick

Man seems to have lost what little grasp he had of the rules. And how the feck did he lose his cards?

[Sion]

He's a poor ref in general, don't think he did much wrong yesterday though. Mainly due to the fact there was little actually to do.

 

That's Styles, not Rennie

Couldn't fit them and the extra pies into his old shorts.

Alan Green on the radio was saying that the ref was looking at Xabi and then Kuyt getting boxed in the face and didn't take a blind bit of notice of either.

yep he's right on that - gave a freekick but took no action when SWP swiped Carra in the face second half either. Diving little bugger he was too.

Probably had his orders from the FA and their bosses Sky at half time. It seems like he was hell bent on trying to get them back in it.
