Chambers headed the ball on with Jackson level with three defenders. At that point the defender then heads into his own net. If Jackson had touched it then he wasn't offside anyway. If they believed he was offside then he wasn't interfering with play as the defender still had to try and get the header in to stop it going in. If he was offside the Assistant would have flagged straight away or at any point during the celebrations. Farcical. - A clear Ipswich penalty for handball not given despite the player moving his arm towards the ball. At the same time Jackson was penalised when clean through after a clearance was fired at his shoulder / chest from point blank range setting him through. This was awarded as a handball. - A penalty was given for Chambers barely touching their player, which arguably was a dive but started 4 yards outside the box and he was in the midst of completely falling over by the time he entered the box. Should have been clear to the referee and Assistant that this was outside the box. - Wycombe should have faced 10 men for the remainder of the match with Donacien arguably due a straight red before Wycombe won their penalty, but at the very least this was a second yellow. - Luke Chambers, if adjudged to have pulled down the Wycombe player should had a red card. He was the last man and it wasn't an attempt to play the ball as he touched the players shoulder. So there is no double jeopardy rule. This is a clear straight red if the referee believes it is a foul. - Ade Akinfenwa was penalised for TWELVE fouls. After the fourth one the referee warned him not to do anymore. When players are often yellow carded for three or four fouls as persistent fouling, how come Akinfenwa was only booked on the twelth occasion? - The challenge by Smyth on Skuse in the middle was very late and a clear yellow. Smyth had been booked for kicking the ball away but wasn't cautioned here. - On that note, two Wycombe players wasted time by kicking the ball away before Smyth was booked and four afterwards. None were booked. How can one be a yellow but six others not? - The Wycombe keeper was booked for time wasting on 80 minutes when he had actually just got the ball and was about to take the free kick. Despite the fact he was not booked on other much worse occasions including refusing to give us the ball for a corner. - Several players were booked for decent when there were players on both teams who protested much much worse (in one case calling the referee a useless c*** - Wycombe's 5 who had already been booked) and this was ignored. - When players already booked were wasting time, the referee deliberately turned away from play so he couldn't see it so he couldn't take action. Noticed this on several occasions. - One bad tackle from Donacien and one from Nolan went unpunished (before they were booked) as the ref wasn't looking at play but was talking to players jogging back instead of focusing on the play. - Countless throws given to both teams incorrectly when it was obvious who they had come off. - Just to add a conspiracy theory element - the useless Assistant is from Colchester. Really? A team and town that hates us. He may not have any affiliation but why take the risk EFL? There were countless officials to choose from with only 3 games being played. What have I missed? | |

Even if he had been booked for not giving us the ball for the corner, it never ever happens that a player is booked twice for time-wasting. | |

Or the caustic, sarcastically laiden thumbs up after checking with the lino for the next free kick the GK took. | |

If Holy had come off his line prior to the kick (he didn't) there's no way the ref would have known (unless the linesman who takes a minute to decide someone might have been offside see's it and flags it with the flag that doesn't work unless there's a free kick that can be turned into a penalty sees it). | | | |

Can't imagine why they sometimes make 'mistakes' Someone less blinkered might draw a straight line between no on-target goal attempts and no goals. | |

Okay Budgie I'll bite. Although why Phil hasn't banished you yet I'll never know. Referees do make mistakes. Sometimes even a couple in a game. Just like heart surgeons do. They have to work under enormous pressure, with skill and precision and mistakes will happen. However, last night refs was like going in for surgery, having the surgeon turn up with a can opener, eventually settle for a chain saw, whilst wearing roller skates, asking the receptionist to help his decide where to cut and then perform the surgery one handed after 6 pints of special brew, a couple of doobies all whilst watching Babestation. You can't blame 90 minutes of massive mistake after massive mistake as all being made in the twinkling in the eye and if they were, then clearly his judgement is so bad he shouldn't be anywhere near a professional level. For your information we had a shot on target. It went in. The scoreboard said 1-0. Then that prat intervened. | |

Of all the things he did that could justifiably be criticized, that isn't one. It's standard procedure, now and has been for a few years, for the ref to watch for encroachment into the area. It's the assistants job to check for the keeper leaving the line. | | | |
