Saint Martini Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 If we take away the penalty decision and the 5 minutes of extra time he invented he had an ok match. He let the game flow and in general didn't start waving cards for no reason. But you're judged on the big decisions so a 5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 How did he not give that penalty? Was in a great position to give it. You just know if it had been Aguero against us who went down it would've been given. Thankfully it didn't matter in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 If Lambert deserved a booking then why did Hooiveld not get one for the Dzeko foul on the edge of the area. It was a worse foul in a more dangerous attacking area. No consistency. For me Atkinson is the worst Prem ref, he is clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Never seen us been offside so many times in my life. There were a few that completely baffled me. Lambert despite starting in front of a CB. and there was one that sticks in my mind Davis made a run very late, and got called up for offside when he must have been yards onside. Oh well - we won!

chestersaint Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 I stand by my earlier post during the game. The man should be struck of, no excuse - 'As City made that final attack 35 seconds + after the injury time was up in the first half, I just watched the referee continue with the game until the ball ran to one of our defenders. At this point the ref lifted the whistle to blow until the ball went back to a City player, the whistle was immediately lowered until the ball was lost again to a saints player, where upon the ref blew up. Either time is up or it is not. It should not depend who is in possession of the ball. Now most of what the ref has done in the first half is subjective and a matter of opinion - that passage of play is not. If anyone gets a chance to review the game then look out for it. Something should be done because that without a shadow of a doubt is cheating.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 OP must be having a giggle - he was beyond awful and his lino on the Itchen side was even worse.

He let the game flow and in general didn't start waving cards for no reason. But you're judged on the big decisions so a 5/10.I reckon he was a big club biased ref. Only because we are a clean team and played them off the park was there no oppurtunity for him to impact on the game, but I feel he was waiting to do us.

rooney Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 A poor performamce by the ref.

That was the most blatant foul i've seen not given. If it had been the other way round he would have given the pen, a red card, and probably had the Saints player executed in the centre circle. The bloke is an incompetent ****. Also does anyone else think their goal had a hint of offside about it? I paused it on MOTD last night, Dzeko looks a shade in front to me, not that it matters now...

Wes Tender Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Papa Waigo Papa Weigo was hardly ever offside. He was just too quick for the linos to keep up with him. But I am in total agreement with most on here, that the referee was extremely poor, as was the Itchen side lino. And anybody who had money on us beating them 4-1 can jusitfiably be livid that the nailed-on, dead-cert, stonewall penalty wasn't given. It was as blatant a penalty as I can ever remember. I don't think that I have heard any commentator defend the ref's decision on grounds that there was any element of benefit of the doubt, or that the ref was unsighted. It would be nice to believe that the incident will be assessed by the authorities and that accordingly Adkinson has a black mark against his name.

He was bloody terrible, let Toure shirt pull for 4 different free-kicks before he booked him as well as the penalty non-call. Utterly shirked responsibility. Can't blame him for the offside decisions, but I'd like to see all of those again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
