mightysaints Posted 13 March, 2010 Share Posted 13 March, 2010 I have watched Saints for 35 years and have witnessed some poor ref decisions but that was quite honestly the worst ref i have ever seen.

mightysaints Posted 13 March, 2010 Author Share Posted 13 March, 2010 Thank god his mistakes did not effedct the result. Still cannot fathom how he gave a free kick when i thought we had scored a 2nd, if anything it should have been a pen to us. Quite frankly he was shocking.

My honest belief, yeah he got a few wrong, but Hammond could have been sent off towards the end. Maybe a couple of ball to hand incidents that COULD have gone for us.

Huffton Posted 13 March, 2010 Share Posted 13 March, 2010 Christ, that bad ? Worse.

Coastal Saint Posted 13 March, 2010 Share Posted 13 March, 2010 That was the most blatant Penalty I have ever seen. I assumed he had played on to allow the goal. He had Fonte's head gripped under his arm for f' sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only big one was maybe Barnard getting felled by the last defender but looked like an accident/tangle of legs to me Well you need to go to Specsavers....so why is it ok for Leeds defenders to be all over Lambert and Barnard yet as soon as Jaidi, Thomas, Fonte and Harding got anywhere within 5 yards it was a Leeds free-kick. Why would Barnard go down when through on goal? On several occasions the linesman was about 3 yards away never flagged but he can see a free-kick against us from 40 yards? He was atrocious! You are the only one posting on here and on the match thread to think otherwise. I have referee'd many games over the years so know how difficult it is and I try to give them the benefit of the doubt - this fool was totally incompetant .

Barnard was clipped, but thought it looked a bit like barnard running accross the defender and getting accidently taken down, the defender couldnt have got out the way IMO. He wasn't good, but he wasn't THAT bad i didn't think. A few decisions went against us, or didnt go for us, but build a bridge, get over it, we won.

Golden Balls Posted 13 March, 2010 Share Posted 13 March, 2010 wasn't that bad.......few wrong decisions possibly, but that's the same of any match. Fonte was fouling the defender for our 'second' btw I'm sorry, but with respect, you're wrong! It was right infront of me and Fonte was being fouled. How a free kick was given the other way was unbelieveable! Also, the Barnard one was quite clearly a tug. He bottled it as it was the last man meaning it would have to be a red card. And just before that there was the shove in the back of Puncheon as he was about to control the ball. AP went mental about that! The incident with Harding was a joke. He booked the player meaning he saw what happened. And what happened was violent conduct. Therefore, red card. You can't just book him because he didn't cause any damage from lashing out. Seems he would have only sent him off if he knocked him out! I've been going 19 years and that is the worst ref I have ever seen. Don't think I've ever heard such loud and constant chants about a ref before either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 13 March, 2010 Share Posted 13 March, 2010 worst ref. for a long long time, in the first half you had to wonder if he'd been plucked out of the street or something. 2nd half he improved a bit (not hard...!) but he really did have a stinker today, no getting away from that. glad it didn't cost us!

What, by holding the mans arm with his neck Hammond was on a booking and then went through the back of the Leeds player, the ref waved play on but went back and had a word after. Well before that corner was taken, the ref had a word about shirt pulling etc, then when the corner came over, they both had a lump of each others shirts, and i honestly thought Fonte was fouling the defender, hence why he missed the header at the near post.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 13 March, 2010 Share Posted 13 March, 2010 A truly bizarre refereeing performance , I can't remember St Marys ever being quite so collectively angry with a match official . At times he was so one sided you started to go beyond questioning Peter Walton's competence and started to wonder about his integrity - perish the thought .
