england1966 0 Posted October 27, 2012 Why was he not sent off for taking out Wes on half way??? Had already been booked as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,206 Posted October 27, 2012 ask Dowd...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 944 Posted October 27, 2012 Dowd played on to let Holt through, but had Herd not already been on a yellow, I''m pretty sure he would have come back when the ball was out of play and booked him. I think Dowd used the Holt chance as an excuse not to send off a second player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted October 27, 2012 I liked the "offside" decision when Wes was clean through, even though the header that put him through was made by a Villa centre back. Honestly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted October 27, 2012 Like many refs, Dowd bottled a very obvious decision........poor ref today I thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted October 27, 2012 two shoves on Bennett in the penalty box were ignored (either half) something I doubt would have happened were they to have been in front of the goal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 498 Posted October 27, 2012 You only have to see Herd''s reaction to know, that he knew he should have been gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted October 27, 2012 Terrible decision not to punish that with a red card. But then I never expect much from Fat Phil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Allman 1 Posted October 28, 2012 I’ve always thought that Dowd just makes the rules up as he goes along and blows for whatever he feels like whenever he wants. Which is what he did yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The gut 0 Posted October 28, 2012 I think the foul on Wes was a straight red in itself. The fact Herd was already on a yellow makes it an appalling decision by Dowd, who I think had a reasonable view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 1 Posted October 28, 2012 Phil "WokSmuggler" Dowd is the worst ref in the Prem!!! He had yet another shocker, always likes the limelight too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
