Herman22 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I often wonder does the ref get a chance to look at any of his decisions at HT? Surely he would see that he’s been tricked by Cockhead or whatever his name is. Somehow we managed to get 4 yellow cards in that half. I don’t think there was one real tackle in the half! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 My view is the ref is totally out of his depth and is listening far too much to the home crowd and Brighton players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 4th PL game apparently. It'll be one of his last if he keeps up this level of performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanVillan Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The level of refereeing has not been catching up to the modern game. They need to look at this and improve. Here we have another one, in over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Just now, OutByEaster? said: I think we've looked okay and there were patches of very decent football toward the end - the bookings are a worry though and it's having an effect on our ability to press and to challenge runners. A second goal would definitely kill it and we need one to take it out of the hands of this ref. Cucerella's theatrics were laughably bad - he wasn't even fouled. Yeah I feel there will be a red on our side with a second booking. I feel though the draw specialists will nick a goal. So we'll need to get a 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Very niggly game with the ref in danger of losing control. Can’t see 22 finishing the game but it will be a lottery to see who gets the first red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 4 yellows from 5 fouls, 80% hit rate. That's pretty impressive. I missed the goal, was it a good goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got booked for going to the toilet before half time Did you leave the pitch first? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Buendia for Watkins at some point I'd like to see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Digne gets done so easily but we knew he wasnt the best defensively. Decent enough due to the scoreline but Brighton have been poor and absolute shithouses with their dark arts. At least we look like we’re fighting more together as a team. At this point I think AVFC are just a joke to this body of referees in England. Watkins for Buendia would be my first change. He’ll work harder and will add a bit of finesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 We still look vulnerable when they counter. I can see them leveling the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paranoia on this site about refs is absolutely ludicrous 1 minute ago, romavillan said: not sure he's corrupt, that gets bandied about a bit too much. he's absolutely a word removed though. You are right. Its almost certainly just more incompetence. But I am more than happy to be unfair to the ref. After all he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) It's only the 3rd Premier league game the ref has officiated, hence the difficulty in him trying to keep a lid on things. It's odds on for someone getting a red in the second half. Edited February 26, 2022 by sheepyvillian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Could do with a 2nd goal as this is Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 We closed down their passing lanes, and prior to Konsa's wild pass slowed the game out to see the half out. To me, that's encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
