Yesterday's refereeing

Post by Cleveleys_claret » Mon Jan 20, 2020 7:46 pm

Two things really annoyed me yesterday more than anything else with the ref yesterday. The Taylor goal, and Wood on Evans. Both of these fouls were blown up immediately when surely the ref should have allowed play to carry on to allow the end of the move. Then if either ended in a goal VAR can be checked or pitchside monitors. Both these decisions were wrong and both could of led to goals by allowing play to carry on for just 5 seconds

Anyone else noticed a relatively new trend for refs.

They have stopped blowing for free kicks from contested headers if the ball goes to the team fouled against.

The giving of the free lick was good for us because it gave us a free cross into the box whereas now we get possession of the ball usually cork westwood in tight midfield situation where we still have to work the ball.

The free lick always goes down well... depending on what one is asked to lick of course ;)
