CANARYKING 708 Posted March 17, 2018 Spineless, totally spineless. Should have sent off at least two Reading players with straight reds including the keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,717 Posted March 17, 2018 Have to agree, one of the worst we’ve had this season which takes some doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 2,062 Posted March 17, 2018 The Blackett challenge on Pinto was an absolute disgrace. Hopefully will be banned retrospectively but I somehow doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted March 17, 2018 From the foul missed on klose in the first minute to the corner he didn''t give us on the last ....and everything in between, a pathetic weasel of a refereyeing performance. ...allowed their players to kick us up in the air all match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,223 Posted March 17, 2018 Have to agree, the GK stopped a goalscoring opportunity and Blackett went in two footed and off the ground..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,757 Posted March 17, 2018 Maybe it is just me but I didn''t think it was even a penalty... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,223 Posted March 17, 2018 I sit in line with the Barclay End penalty area.....definite penalty....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted March 17, 2018 The GK shouldn’t have been sent off to be fair - I thought it’s no longer a red card if is a pen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 2,062 Posted March 17, 2018 100% was a penalty. Not sure how that''s even debatable. Probably one of the clearest pens you will ever see. Defo not a red either - yellow was fair for that. The Blackett challenge however was disgusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,206 Posted March 18, 2018 Anyone see Gunter headbutt Madders around the 94th minute?Ref missed that, hand bags as well following the final whistle with Klose pushing Gunter away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,757 Posted March 18, 2018 I didn''t think it was a penalty as the keeper gets his hand on the ball after Maddison shot. Clearly I''m in a minority here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly I''m in a minority hereSorry KC - you cant get a hand to the ball AFTER you have Kung Fu kicked the opposition player , and get away with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,757 Posted March 18, 2018 Fair enough. I''m talking about how I viewed it in real time.To me it seemed like a 50/50 ball, Maddison got their first and tried to knock it past the keeper who got a hand on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 2,062 Posted March 18, 2018 Even if he gets a hand on it, there is still a goalscoring chance denied as he clatters through Maddison. Maybe if the ball had gone out of play then you''d have more of a shout with that, but the ball was still live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,763 Posted March 18, 2018 No, it was an obvious penalty but generally the ref was very poor, just seemed to lack basic concentration as he missed so much. Not that the linesmen helped him much either. Was weird he would ignore some pretty poor challenges and then anything in the middle of the park, a slight nudge or whatever would be blown up for.

king canary 8,757 Posted March 18, 2018 He set his stall out by completely missing the foul on Klose in the first minute so no surprise he didn''t get much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CANARYKING 708 Posted March 18, 2018 Is it just me or has the refereeing of our games been p..s poor this season, we seem to have been on the wrong end of some really bad decisions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
