OldNick Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 He is useless, he ruined the FA cup game and now the Liverpool chelsea game.Inconsistant, gerrard only 1 minute before left a leg in and should have been sent off and then sent Lampard off for a non foul.Then a minute later gives a handball like he did the pen against DMG. A very poor official
DT Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 The most un-Saints related post ever. Well done. Agree though.
sidthesquid Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Always was an Rse - and looks like a pervy scoutmaster, too
JustMike Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 he is the worst ref i have seen in a while, clearly has sir alex on his friends list
Window Cleaner Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 It's déjà vu actually. Lovely goal by Torrés though, what a player he is. Did you see Kuyt wandering all over the place, causing havoc, that's what Total Football is all about.
OldNick Posted 1 February, 2009 Author Posted 1 February, 2009 The most un-Saints related post ever. Well done. Agree though. It reminded me of ther FA cup game where his poor refereeing ruined the game.On that iccasion I doubt the result would have been different but he ruined the entertainment.Gerrards tackle was as poor as Pattersons and he did nothing.
chocco boxo Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Sir Alex would had approved with his usual glass of red in one hand whilst the other would be writing Mr Riley another cheque.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Sir Alex would had approved with his usual glass of red in one hand whilst the other would be writing Mr Riley another cheque. ! What are you trying to say old bean? (probably exactly what I have been thinking for years!)
Plumstead_Saint Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Felt sorry for Lampard and looked like he got the worst of the exchange....but his studs were showing. Not sure Gerrard deserved the yellow for diving, though he did go down a bit too easily. But I saw others doing the same. what about Bosingwa putting his foot on Kuyt's back and pushing him off the pitch on the short corner though? Definite red card IMO

aintforever Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Who gives a ****, glad he ruined the game. I was watching elephants on BBC1.
Appy Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 It was funny because it was Lampard. Any other player it wasn't a red.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 The sending off woke me up as i'd dozed off watching a very boring game until then. Mike Riley was also ref a few year ago when Lampard broke Alonso's ankle in a tackle. Was also amazed Bosingwa was not sent off as Riley either didn't see it or bottled it.
benjii Posted 1 February, 2009 Posted 1 February, 2009 Just seen it on MotD2.... The guy is a complete joke. Absolutely awful. Gerrard - borderline red card challenge, not even given a yellow. Lampard - wins the ball cleanly, didn't go in with excessive force, got studded by Alonso late, sent off. Bosingwa - studds in Benayouan's back ( ), a yard in front of the linesman, Riley watching it, nothing. Pathetic. All refs make mistakes but he always makes mistakes over "big" decisions. He loves giving a pen or getting the red card out. Just look at him. What a pathetic, nerdy, gimpy, dweeby, weasel. As if he has any clue about actually playing football. He's a spacky, speccy little anus. Anyone remember our 2-2 draw away to Leciester on the opening day of the season under WGS? Super Kev scored a belter. Riley gave Leicester a pen in that match because Svennson looked at Les Ferdinand. The man is a plonker.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 I was astounded at how poor this guy was in this game. The most shocking part was him completely ignoring Bosingwa put studs into Benayouan's back at the corner flag. The linesman saw it and flagged...Riley just ignored the incident! This was the most blatant example of 'ref rigging' I think I have ever seen - I reckon Riley had previously given a poor decision against Chelsea, so then ignored this incident to 'even' things up. Unprofessional conduct and he should be banned for that display.
Thedelldays Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 him and rob stiles always crop up with "big" mistakes...
markr27 Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 What, you actually saying Howard "Collina" Webb didn't get this match? I don't believe you.

But I saw others doing the same. what about Bosingwa putting his foot on Kuyt's back and pushing him off the pitch on the short corner though? Definite red card IMO It was Benayouan, not Kuyt. If you can make such a mistake after the benefit of endless replays you should allow the ref a small oversight, surely. Or perhaps Riley feels like me - any player shielding the ball in the corner like that deserves a foot in the back .......if he's an opponent. Riley is, however, without doubt, the worst of the current crop.
Saint Martini Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 The Gerrard tackle, the Lampard one and Paterson against Manu were al very similar. The only difference was how the tackle connected with the opposing player. Gerrard kicked air because the Chelsea player jumped up, Lampard did the same but Alonso then kicked hm which made it look like he hit Alonso and Paterson hit Vidic (although with a ball inbetween) full on. According to pundits this means that the Gerrard tackle was a yellow, the Lampard one should have been nothing and Paterson got a deserved red when al three should have gotten the same card (red). The all went in with the foot in the air and studds showing, how simple can it get?
Big Bad Bob Posted 2 February, 2009 Posted 2 February, 2009 The all went in with the foot in the air and studds showing, how simple can it get? I am so glad I am not the only one that thinks like that. It as a red card pure and simple, feet first, studs showing, off the ground. How the hell Andy Gray can defend that is beyond me. And in my defence I missed the Gerrard incident so can't comment. It's not the referees that are ruining games, it's the pundits, like Andy Gray, who thinks that ANY card is harsh and should not be given,

Then they both should of gone. And I don't care whether Lampard got the ball or not (and to me there was nothing that said he did conclusively) his feet were off the ground and he was diving in studs up!!!

That is what is great about football, it is opinions.i took it as Lampard did go in with his studs up but the man was nowhwere near it, it was Alonso who followed through and kicked Lampard not the other way around. Gerrards for me was more dangerous to the player.

Very similar to the incident at St Marys against Man Utd, so yes he was right to be consistant and send him off, even though I think on both occassions a yellow would have been enough.
