smetrov Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Worse ref this season - despite was Lawrenson was saying - he was getting all sorts of decisions wrong all afternoon - I don't even know what Grealish's first yellow was for...... Then there was the shot what cannoned of a WBA player - and he gave a goal kick - Numerous times he stopped the game for nothing - the complete opposite of what Lawrenson was saying... Shocking display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I wouldn't worry about refs on a day like today pal. They are words removed and will always be words removed… no matter what! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNeeUs Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Mark Lawrenson had a worse pundit performance than the ref. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Mark Lawrenson had a worse pundit performance than the ref. I know his summing up "over the 90 minutes villa just about deserved it" As I seen it - albion had a couple of early chances - and even those were gifts from our defence. We scored in the second half - then had a period where we were totally on fire ..... Easily the better side overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B94villa Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Bizarre refereeing, at times when he needed to put his stamp on the game (those 2/3 fouls in as many seconds for example) he gives nothing but then gives two totally unjustified reds. Needs to take a portion of the blame for the pitch invasion IMO, also got a few clear cut decisions wrong, including the blatant corner early in the first half. The decline in refereeing standards is becoming more and more noticeable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I haven't had a chance to see either incident yet. I take it neither red was justified. I was surprised at theirs especially. So I take it Grealish didn't dive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I've lost count of the number of times over the last few seasons I've thought our ref was one of the worst I've seen. I'm not convinced it's because of increased scrutiny on TV, it seems much more common to see blatantly indefensible decision in person without the benefit of replays. There has been a noticeable dip in the performance of referees over the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 At least he was consistent if nothing else. Granted, it was consistently rubbish, but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanky Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Diabolical performance. When he booked N'Zogbia in the first half he set himself up for a fall. Every other foul just became a card after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) dont know he gave us a late peno thought both reds were very harsh today but I think he wanted get rid of Yacob on how he reacted in 1st half to a tackle on Gabby when he had argument with his own player Edited March 7, 2015 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 yeah the pen was an all dayer though, thought tuesday baggies used the knock the ball too far, contact, fall over, free kick, almost like a tactic whereas tonight they didnt, tuesdays ref bought so many soft fouls from them resulted in decisions like the okore shoulder barge being a foul somehow, today was a different game, baggies didnt do it, like i said both reds were poor but his overall performance was nothing that stood out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
