Robbed by officials in last minute again
Firstly at Turf, now offside in last minute
Sky showed it as being clearly offside, about time officials could use it for such decisive moments

Offside by Arsenal - AGAIN!!!!

Lino had some making up to do.
Miss the offside, give the pen.
Same with all the top teams.
We didn't deserve anything, but you need the officials to do their jobs!

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
How many times are linesmans up with play. Rarely. Its a joke. I aat on the longsidr against sunderland to get a perspevtive of this. First half at one end second at other. The linesman on both ends was never up with play.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
We're always going to be hoping to get a point or even 3 at these places when we're never going to "deserve it" or be the better team. It's ridiculous to expect that we'll get something at Arsenal or Spurs or Chelsea or Liverpool or Manure and we'll all say "well on the balance of play we were the better side". That just ain't going to happen. BUT what we DO need and deserve is a bit of luck AND for the officials to help us out by giving us the tight/questionable/decisive decisions when it matters. And they simply aren't!

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
Agree with Macca, far to deep, gave them far to much time on the ball and the front 2's ball retention was pretty poor. Why Start a game with an 11 that offered very little against Southampton, was crying out for Sam and Joey. Top marks for the back 4 again, and I really hope the injustice of that spurs us on.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
Officials have cost us 2 points against Arsenal this season.
These points could still be crucial and worth £ millions.
Time for an instant replay for decisions such as this to help the officials make the right decision.
With the Koscielny incident today, and the one in October, it would have taken seconds to clear up and the officials (and me) could sleep easier.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
As Ralph Coates stated, the officials have cost us 2 points against Arsenal.
On the bright side a lucky win (without any help from the biased officials) at some stage later in the season will give us 3 points to compensate for the inept officials in both matches against lucky Arsenal.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
Well I have just had time to watch their pen on TV. Okay it was offside and should have been a free kick to us. However, if you watch the incident at full speed from the main camara, their players is no stood up straight and puts his head down. Ben has eyes only for the ball and gets it just before his foot is headed. Very harsh pen imitation.
Its hard to take 2 last minute controversial goals against them. I was looking for justice and still am. As someone said let this spur us on.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
Very annoyed at the time
But these things do happen, and we have to take the positives from the display and learn the lessons.
I'm not going to go down the Sam Allydyce route of blaming the officials for everything that is ever given against them, and be in favour or video replay, as its would ruin the game we all love.
Gutting though, but we should use our performances in games like this to spur us on to survival

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
They're wired up. A man in a van sees the replay virtually instantaneously and tells the fourth official/ref. Most likely when play is stopped e.g. as with the award of the penalty. In a matter of seconds, he's been told there was an offside. Similarly at the Turf, he's told offside and handball. Not likely to be practical when the ball is moving. And umpires seem to be getting along with it in sports such as cricket and tennis.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
Even in this scenario it wouldnt have been a simple as just freezing the picture when the sky editor chose to and deciding if he was on or offside. They would have been rolling the footage backwards and forwards frame by frame trying to judge the exact point when the ball could be classed as being played forward which in a two dimensional picture its not always that easy to do in the same way as trying to judge video evidence at cricket as to if a catch carried

They won't make instant decisions for fear of getting the slightest little detail wrong. It would be a nightmare.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
I'd rather key decisions were right. You could knock off the time players spend moaning about decisions and refs warning/booking them.
You would get about 5 mins back per game if subs could come straight on without stopping play ie one off one on controlled by the 4th official.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
Linesman bang in line with play - should see offside.
Ref miles from incident looking through a crowd of players. He obviously doesn't get a good view as he takes ages to give it (he pointed to the spot instantly for the Barnes pen, which happened right in front of him).
Linesman should have a decent view doesn't appear to give pen. Don't know if it's changed now they're all wired up, but a linesman used to put his flag across his chest to signal a pen, which he clearly doesn't do.
Looks like a bit of a "leveller" from the ref to me.

I'm all for the correct decisions to be made but technology certainly isn't the answer imo, I would struggle to watch a stop and start game, it's the reason I cannot watch most other sports.
I think a more reasonable suggestion would be to double the number of linesmen, to help them keep up with the line.
I don't understand how running the line works, how do they keep track of when the ball leaves the players boot and keep up with the line at the same time, does the referee signal when the ball is kicked? if it's a long ball from one end to the other it must be difficult to make that split second decision. Following the line constantly while looking the other way to time exactly when the ball is kicked.

Yeah we're definitely improving but lets be honest, it couldn't have got worse from the performances we saw at West Brom, Southampton and Leicester. I don't know if we're good enough away from home to be winning games though which I guess doesn't really matter if we continue to pick up the points at home like we have.dsr wrote:You can't see any signs of imrovement, then?

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
The last three games definitely suggest we're not good enough to be winning away at Tottenham, Man City or Arsenal. Which doesn't bode well for the Liverppol game, either. But on the other hand, it could be argued that Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Hull, Swansea, and Crystal Palace are possibly easier games than Spurs, Man C, etc?
Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
If we continue to improve away from home then we could easily collect points against those sides. It could also be our players ''playing the occasion'' away at these big sides, we just have to show that level of performance against the lesser teams which so far we have failed to do. We have played all of the top sides apart from Liverpool away from home which bodes well.dsr wrote:The last three games definitely suggest we're not good enough to be winning away at Tottenham, Man City or Arsenal.

You do realise those bottom 5 teams will be relishing the opportunity to play us at their own ground and will see it as a massive opportunity to regain some ground on us.
I'm not sure we have improved away from home, a loss is still a loss and we don't create more than an odd scoring opportunity.
We won't be favourites for any of them and probably won't be picking up too many points unless the 'Keep it tight, don't concede and hope for a draw' tactic is ditched. We need to be going for it from the first minute in all these games, 5 or 6 points would be massive in the grand scheme of things.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
Each manager should get two challenges per half. All this rubbish about causing disruption to the flow of the game. Virtually all the instances where a challenge would be made would follow what would be a natural break in play (penalty /foul/offside).
Take the decision away from the increasingly inept officials.
It's no coincidence that week in week out,season after season you know which referees will be at the centre of a s#$%storm because they aren't upto the task. These officials obviously need help. Even more so now with the speed of the game and how much money is at stake

I'd rather see us go for it and lose 4-0 than keep losing by the odd goal. High tempo from the off, if we get licked, we get licked. We have been licked numerous times this season playing scared (Soton, Leicester, Chelsea). It's hard to judge whether we have actually improved, the results would suggest so (we're not getting beat 4-0) but we have also been playing against 10 men for a large part of the past 2 away games and still lost.JohnMac wrote:You do realise those bottom 5 teams will be relishing the opportunity to play us at their own ground and will see it as a massive opportunity to regain some ground on us.

The lads had seven shots on target yesterday and we lost to a controversial goal in the eighth minute of injury time. They very nearly held a team in the top three.
We biffed a lot of those teams at the bottom at TM. Given our current points cushion it is the opposition who will be cacking themselves when Burnley turn up.

Except of course that we weren't negative yesterday. We played two up front, we had shots into double figures, and we deserved a draw. I'm told that the only team to have that many shots on target this season was Liverpool. How good do you want it to be?

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
I thought we played really well yesterday, 6 shots apiece on target is a lot better than earlier in the season.
I'd still like to see Tarks in front of the back four, we need to push the midfield higher in support of the front two, without leaving ourselves wide open. We were very poor on the second ball, but probably down to the fact they were a yard faster than us all over the pitch. Much as I love Deano I would prefer to play Joey who reads the game better than anyone else on the team. Defour has to be played in the middle or sell him, he's wasted on the wing.
We have most of the bottom half of the table to play away still, on current form that elusive win is only a matter of time. So much to be happy with despite yesterday's result.

We were very poor on the second ball, but probably down to the fact they were a yard faster than us all over the pitch. Much as I love Deano I would prefer to play Joey who reads the game better than anyone else on the team. Defour has to be played in the middle or sell him, he's wasted on the wing.

Re: Robbed by officials in last minute again
This had nothing to do with his position. There is a photo, on fb, he is in line with Koscielny, who is a yd offside, as the FK is struck. Everything in sight for him. He just didn't do his job.Clarettintedlense wrote:How many times are linesmans up with play. Rarely. Its a joke. I aat on the longsidr against sunderland to get a perspevtive of this. First half at one end second at other. The linesman on both ends was never up with play.
