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.

I thought he was awful too. Looked a clear pen from my seat in block 3 and seemed to give them everything. It didn't matter in the end but thought he was poor.

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.

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!

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.'

Noticed that too.

OP must be having a giggle - he was beyond awful and his lino on the Itchen side was even worse. I know that referees are human and always likely to make the odd mistake, but it's the lack of consistency afforded that gets my goat.

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. But in no way is football corrupt!! or the Super Sunday clashes on SKY not so appealing once it's a one horse race!!

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.

 

 

my point exactly. If cameras were used more in those sorts of situation, instead of the twice-a-season goal-line incidents... we'd have more balanced results.

 

I'd like to have seen Joe Hart " penalty-saving genius(?)" ...facing up to Rickie Lambert !

A poor performamce by the ref. Why he did not give the Man City player a yellow card for diving on the edge of the penalty area at Chapel end bemuses me. He was only a few feet away too.

Why such surprise at the 5 extra minutes?

 

6 subs is always 3 minutes, plus trainer on for Fox, plus it took us an age to throw the ball back in most times.

 

Plus it's Citeh innit! ;)

 

Even MP was wasting time, picked the ball up, held on to it, talked to his assistant and then threw it back.

Initially I thought pen, seeing the replay, I certainly would have been ****ed if it was given a against us.

 

Seriously? 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...

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.

I just rewatched the match this morning and came on here to say exactly the same thing.

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.
