Is it ok if we call Norwich, fuckin dastards? Yes I meant to use a ‘d’ just making sure that’s ok with the pc police?

Absolutely spot on, quite how anyone can think a ref who ultimately influenced the result with his weak decision making was good is beyond me quite frankly, he gave us very little all game, as you say Two ridiculous tackles went unpunished in the build up to their first goal and even Stevie Wonder could see it was offside!Blue Wilf wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2023 9:19 pmHe was consistently good in the first half and consistently poor in the second half. He failed to deal with a number of cynical tackles ((2 leading up to their first goal). That meant that when he started to book people (well our player - Burns), it was for a tackle that was far less serious than many that had preceded it. How is that consistent? For me however, he was better than the so called 'assistant referees' who (as they always are) were shockingly poor and failed to notice infringements right under their noses. Just what is the point of these cretins?
Yes……. Things are just a tad too nice at times on here.
Specsavers for you mate . I had a look again this morning and there is even an Ipswich player in the 6 yard box who's back foot looks like it may be playing him on. The linesman is bang in line with it and looking right along the line as the ball is played. He looks to ME like he is behind the ball but its all opinions and its very tight call. He is not MILES offside as being said by others IMO.
Will you please stop forcing me to go watch this again.valleyroad wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:17 pmSpecsavers for you mate .

AND AND AND with as tight a decision as this being banged on about it is WHY WE HAVE VAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never mind onto Leeds and 3 points hopefully
It is fine lines, but you end up with what another poster has suggested……. Bookings later in the game that are hardly fouls.AzzurroMark wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 12:29 pmI guess it's all about opinions, but I stand by my opinion of the refereeing performance yesterday. He could've booked Morsy early on and to suggest that there was bias in the decisions made is incorrect. Indeed Harry Clarke was unlucky not to see a yellow, after getting involved with something which wasn't his battle when pushing a Norwich player following a challenge by another town player. I don't want to see the type of game where the whistle is being blown every few minutes. There could've possibly been more yellows, more fouls given but in my opinion that would have taken the edge off a fairly decent game.
Good result for Hearts yesterday eh ???marko69 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:44 pmWill you please stop forcing me to go watch this again.valleyroad wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:17 pmSpecsavers for you mate .

I’ll need to go look at the Old Etonians football rule book…… been misunderstanding the offside rule all these years.
Come on, Valley……. He’s offside. Its plain as day.
When I refereed, supervisors always pulled me up for an early booking. Hated it. Its a fine line, sometimes it works other times it back fires.marko69 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:48 pmIt is fine lines, but you end up with what another poster has suggested…….

But i do agree…… whistle happy refs are annoying
……. But the last “but” is this…….. its NOT consistent refereeing. Its the opposite really.
You’ve completely lost me with this post. Hearts winning at Parkhead and Hibs losing in Perth along with some news about Lee Johnson has got something to do with Rowe @ PR being offside?valleyroad wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 2:31 pmGood result for Hearts yesterday eh ???marko69 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:44 pmWill you please stop forcing me to go watch this again.valleyroad wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:17 pm

Montgomery ??
Heard Lee Johnson is going to be sacked soon from Fleetwood player
I thought you could post images up to this site but seems not ??
Back in the day……. In Scotland anyway, whether it be Old Firm or Edinburgh derby, CLEAR warnings were dished out, often with gestures by the ref that he was not going to tolerate any shenanigans. In the faces of players, fingers pointing…….. Was very clear indeed.valleyroad wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 2:39 pmWhen I refereed, supervisors always pulled me up for an early booking. Hated it.

Derby games are always refereed different. Referees will try to man manage and keep cards in their pocket for first 20 mins and let the game play out but sometimes it backfires.
In the photo I’ve got of that “ goal”… the linesman’s not even in the photo … ( I can’t post the photo - never can post pictures on here for some reason)…. so he’s not up with play or line with the last man. So much fur decent officials. It also shows Woolfie totally oblivious to Rowe behind him. He’s ball watch and “ marking” fresh air as per usual. He’s not good enough at this level.valleyroad wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2023 10:59 pmSpeak to assistant referee not referee.hallamblue wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2023 9:48 pmJust seen a photo of their first goal : it’s MILES offside ffs, absolutely bloody miles offside.
You need a photo ? Angles etc ??
I saw sky drew a line and it looked close.
Anyway its split second decision, actually the blink of a human eye ?
This type of stuff is why we have VAR, great eh ??
Freeze frames, frame by frame, multiple camera angles. The human being gets the blink of an eye.
Btw i don't regard anyone fron Norwich as scum for supporting a football team. Rivarly is one thing but this is the wrong side of the line ??
All a sideshow. Ipswich never beat Norwich because they failed to defend the box twice and missed gilt edged chances. Forget anything else and move onto winning at Leeds
Agreed.rossi wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:27 pmWhen all is said and done, it doesn't matter if their goal was offside or not (I didn't think it was, actually), and it doesn't matter KM saying we dominated the game. We didn't finish well enough and we continue to bleed stupid goals. But at the end of the day, we're still having a bloody good season. Move on.
You are right there Liz it's Tuanzebe with Burgess at Leeds and Williams back as wellhallamblue wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 4:40 pmIn the photo I’ve got of that “ goal”… the linesman’s not even in the photo … ( I can’t post the photo - never can post pictures on here for some reason)…. so he’s not up with play or line with the last man.
