Trader Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 I see Walton's is referee in the match against Brighton on Saturday. I hope he has a better match than he did the last time he was referee here. (v. Leeds the season before last). The most inept performance I've ever seen - and from a Premier League referee too! Just hope he hasn't got something against us.
bpsaint Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 Oh for **** sake, you just know something will go against us now. Controversial decisions follow that guy around like a bad smell.
dellish Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 he made ureine rennie look good , was the worst ref i have ever seen
corky morris Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 Was/Is a bad ref - terrible against Leeds, but the absolute worst was the guy at Tranmere 2 seasons ago. Shocking, even their manager said we had 2 dead cert pens & 2 others that looked decent..................I remember every single member of the team spoke to the referee after that game......................
saint cozza Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 His performance against Leeds was one of the worst displays, possibly the worst refereeing display I have ever seen. Just hope we can have a similar result though.

I was there that day, almost forgot how bad he was - unbelievable!
View From The Top Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 I was there that day, almost forgot how bad he was - unbelievable! Yep, worst I've ever seen.
beatlesaint Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 His performance against Leeds was one of the worst displays, possibly the worst refereeing display I have ever seen. Just hope we can have a similar result though. It actually bordered on cheating, the only thing he didnt do was put the ball in the back of the net for them. Fortunately niether could their players :-)
krissyboy31 Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 He's just hasd his 52nd birthday. I thought referees had to retire at 47?
Mr Saints Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 Agreed, it was the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen (equally bad for both sides). I recall a Jaidi header being disallowed for a push even though there wasn't a Leeds player within 10 yards from him.
LostBoys Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 I agree the Walton performance at the Leeds game would have been appalling in Divi 7 in the parks on a Saturday. This is a genuine plug for all the unpaid guys in black in the local leagues.
Golden Balls Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 Was by far the worst refereeing I have ever seen. I remember at half time we were 1-0 up and still the ref was getting loads of stick from fans and players as he walked down the tunnel. Rickie Lambert pointed towards the fans then his ears as the boos rang out despite us winning. He somehow got worse in the 2nd half. Thank god we won or there could have been a riot.
brightspark Posted 17 November, 2011 Posted 17 November, 2011 I wouldn't stress, I've actually met the bloke at the end of the season we beat Leeds and one of the many questions I asked him was about 'how he felt about being known as the worst referee Southampton have had for 20 years' or something along those lines. He replied with something like: "you know what home fans are like", but interestingly couldn't even remember if he had refereed us that season, and once pushed to remember refereeing a game at SMS, couldn't remember who we had played. He thought we had lost as well. So even if he had any bad feelings towards us, he's probably forgotten them already!!!
John Boy Saint Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 (edited) Ahem! I shall try again:blush: Edited 18 November, 2011 by John Boy Saint
John Boy Saint Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 He's just hasd his 52nd birthday. I thought referees had to retire at 47? Nope, even in the Premiership after meeting certain criteria, they have the self assess option to continue, that they feel capable in themselves to continue. Dermot Gallagher spilt that little gem during a meet the ref evening, he said that he had signed himself back on to the roster after passing the natural retirement age. But during a game between Villa and Man U Ronaldo had picked the ball up in the Man U half and was off up the pitch like a whippet, when he got to the Villa box the time on the stadium clock was 4:20 the attack broke down and Agbonlahor picked the ball up and was off down the other end: Dermot said when he got to the Man U box the stadium clock said 4:40 he knew then that it was time to call it a day. I wouldn't stress, I've actually met the bloke at the end of the season we beat Leeds and one of the many questions I asked him was about 'how he felt about being known as the worst referee Southampton have had for 20 years' or something along those lines. He replied with something like: "you know what home fans are like", but interestingly couldn't even remember if he had refereed us that season, and once pushed to remember refereeing a game at SMS, couldn't remember who we had played. He thought we had lost as well. So even if he had any bad feelings towards us, he's probably forgotten them already!!! In contrast Peter Walton is obviously in total denial of his inept abilities, after that Leeds game the assessor (unless he was on the payroll) must have written a totally damning performance report that you would remember. Hopefully the 1st half hour will be played at Championship full on 100mph by both sides, and he "pulls" something to get the hell off the pitch.
david in sweden Posted 18 November, 2011 Posted 18 November, 2011 I see Walton's is referee in the match against Brighton on Saturday. I hope he has a better match than he did the last time he was referee here. (v. Leeds the season before last). The most inept performance I've ever seen - and from a Premier League referee too! Just hope he hasn't got something against us. will be interesting to see how many cards he dishes out..... Brighton have the highest number of CCC yellows this season..35, whereas Saints have got 18..only Coventry (15) have a lower " yellow card" count .
Jonnyboy Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Well thats 2 pens we shouldve had so far...
Crab Lungs Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Brighton doing the niggly South American stuff again, then surrounding the referee as soon as one of our players commit a foul. Guly booked, I bet Poyet asks his team to wind him up in the 2nd half...
Under Weststand Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Pretty inept performance so far, 2 clear pens not given & allowing them to niggle & spoil with no recourse.
Jonnyboy Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Alright we'll let him off a couple of those
Mattio Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Other than Trevor Kettle, he is the worst ref I've ever seen!
gaz Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Lots of dodgy penalty decisions, sending off Taricco was harsh on Brighton.
Dazza82 Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Lots of dodgy penalty decisions, sending off Taricco was harsh on Brighton. Agree with pens but it makes up for the two he missed in first half! Taricco looked to have called him a F**king Cheat, deserved if you ask me was on at him all game.
Norm Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Just home. Walton was sh*&% and Brighton not much better. I'm really pleased we stuffed them.
saintdavid Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 One of the worst and most bizarre refereeing displays I've seen for a long time; how he's Premier League standard I'll never know. Should've given at least 2 more penalties, fortunately it didn't cost us as the lads were absolutely superb in the second half today!
Jimmy_D Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Wait... was that the referee from THAT Leeds game? I said today was the worst reffing I'd seen since that Leeds game, didn't realise it was the same one! It wasn't bad because it seemed biased today... it was just terrible... the number of decisions that he got wrong just kept mounting up and up and up >_
Whitey Grandad Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Can't complain really. I don't think he got much wrong. Taricco was in his face all the game and must have said something nasty to have been sent off. I couldn't hear what he said from my seat in the Kingsland.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Can't complain really. I don't think he got much wrong. Taricco was in his face all the game and must have said something nasty to have been sent off. I couldn't hear what he said from my seat in the Kingsland. True you can't complain because most of it was in our favour,Walton's refereeing was completely lopsided, we got penalties for actions that Brighton got absolutely f-all for.The ref was a joke,wait until you've seen some close up,slowed down film,you'll see what I mean.
Golden Balls Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Should have got 2 penalties. Not the 2 we did get though
del boy Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 I think the pens evened out - we had two dodgy ones to make up for the two cast iron ones he didn't give. He might have though about the ones he got wrong and thought "I'll give 'em a couple to make up for it when I get the chance" 1st half Rickie nearly lost his shirt being pulled back in the penalty area - not sure how that was missed. On another note - do you think Gus actually gives coaching lessons in time wasting and theatrical writhing? ...maybe its part of the South American coaching badge
paulwantsapint Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Taricco was on pitch poyet watched game on line thanks to stream Fonte didn't cheat but was fouled yard outside foul caused his feet to land in box Rickie took a slight knock then stumbled Unbiased commentator ( not DM ) said Navvaro should have gone when booked Great sub NA to save Hammond after he got booked for being caught in box
Gambol2K9 Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 It says it all when we win three nil and still moan about how bad the ref was. An awful display, he wasnt bias, just generally incompetent towards both sides
Huffton Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Don't know how anyone can say the second pen was dodgy, Rickie was clearly tripped. Re-take was a bit bizarre though...
LostBoys Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Loads of mistakes - Lambert wrestled down - possible handball from Guly shot but give the defender a break - pen was outside box to even it up - their midfielder should have gone for the terrible foul on Morgan - Taricco kept on at the referee all game trying to get Saints players booked for small fouls should have been yellow carded before the red - why did he book Hammond he just waited to be fouled which he was - truly awful but not as bad as last time
Wes Tender Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Appalling refereeing. There were at least two good penalty shouts that could easily have gone to us additionally to those he gave. Plus he wasn't even-handed with the fouls either. Yellow cards for fouls given one way and arguably worse ones going unpunished.
Saint Martini Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 He was awful be we have absolutely nothing to complain about. Sure he could have given a penalty in the first half for the handball and perhaps for obstruction but they would have been very weak. Both of them were 50-50 decision and he was letting a lot go in the first half so I can see why he didn't give pens there. In the second half Hammond got a deserved yellow for diving, he went down before contact was made. The penalty we did get was one of the most shocking decisions I have seen in a loooong time. It was clearly outside and Fonte wasn't even moving towards the penalty area, he was moving parallel to it. In Walton defense though, the assistant was much better positioned and he should have seen that it was outside the box. After the 2-0 he actually he should have send-off one more Brighton player (Navarro for that lunge on Schneiderlin), that challenge was ****ing awful and because he got a yellow he can't get any subsequent punishment....
70's Mike Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 do not mind cr*p refs if we win despite of him
Window Cleaner Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 do not mind cr*p refs if we win despite of him Trouble is next time it could all go against us. Crap refs need weeding out of the game. Brighton could have had a couple of penalties for imaginary offences as well.
Saint Lindford Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 First penalty was NOT a penalty, it was a good 2/3 yds out of the box. Second one was nailed. So glad Taricco got sent off, just would not shut up all game and constantly trying to get Saints players booked. Can't wait to hear Poyet's whinging at this one.
S-Clarke Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 He's such a **** ref. He'll be banished into the lower leagues before long.
SuperMikey Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 Appalling refereeing in the first half, somebody must have had a word with him at half-time because he seemed to be more on the ball in the 2nd half. Should've had 2 penalties in the first half hour, Brighton were all over Rickie and the worst bit of reffing for me was when 3 Brighton players were hacking away at Jack Cork in the centre circle and Walton was no more than 5 yards away and gave NOTHING. Inept and not cut out for this level, he's probably about Conference level.
warsash saint Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 The 1st pen was one of the worst decisions I have ever seen !!
RobM Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 As shocking as we feared. The Fonte penalty wasn't a penalty, but made up for the certain penalties he missed. The sending off was absolutely justified, even though I can appreciate how angry he must have been he should have known better, he should be setting an example!
Alwightmush Posted 19 November, 2011 Posted 19 November, 2011 I swear at one point it looked like he was stopping the throw in by the Kingsland to make sure the TV cameras were on the play (or him!) bizarre!
