That was woeful from him last night wasn't it! Literally gave every contact as a foul in the first half which just led to players falling on the floor and getting something. Yet in the second half George Hirst was being practically rugby tackled by the centre back and he just let it go.
I was relieved to get away from VAR this season but I'd love to know what it would have made on the NFL block on O'shea in the box in the second half. The Ref was right in front of it.
Also don't understand the groans from Brum and about the 'disallowed goal' The forward jumps into Greaves with a leading arm and no eyes on the ball!
Ah well...hopefully we get some Refs that can live with the occasion better than that this season but I won't get my hopes up. |  | | |  |

Discussing that on the way home last night. Was his bar set so low, particularly in the first half, because he knew it could easily get feisty and if he'd let some go early on he'd probably have ended carding half the players?
I didn't enjoy how he reffed it but if it had gone the other way he'd have been accused of not reffing the occasion. |  |

He was awful but he got us out of jail. Gloss over it. |  |

Know what you mean but the Sky commentators kept saying how there is meant to be a higher bar for fouls this season apparently. Well, that was not the case last night.
I have no idea how he didn't book the centre back that got hold of Chaplin or Cochrane when he went flying in to Ali. | | | |

Exactly. Same as the pen really. I think the rule is harsh but it does deny a potential goal scoring opportunity. | | | |

Shame there’s not a higher bar for sky co-commentators |  | | |

A ref that gives us a pen away from home in the 95 min is not an awful ref. | |

In fairness to the ref he was just protecting himself. Had he given all the 3/4 yellows he should have done to Brum he might not have made it out of there in one piece. As I said pre match St. Andrews is not a very nice place to go for a big match. The mentality of locals is insane. The will get fined for that match at the least. |  | | |

Absolutely dreadful ref, and a big part of why the first half was so disjointed.
Then second half was letting lots of go, and probably should have have handed out a few more cards.
He wasn't biased, just crap.
Though I do think it was a clear foul for their disallowed 'goal'.
Penalty obviously very soft, but probably right by the letter of the law. |  |

That doesn't make sense. If the ref was that scared, he doesn't give that penalty, especially that late in the game.
I think the ref understood the situation and atmosphere and blew early for fouls to stop the game getting out of control.
I can guarantee the people moaning about him being too whistle happy, if he had ignored those early fouls and then a Brum player wipes out a Town player resulting in an injury for a few weeks, would be the first to blame the ref for not penalising those early fouls. |  | | |

The problem was a lot of the early fouls he blew for (both ways) weren't fouls. |  |

while I thought the ref was very poor. the plus was that he wasn't a blatant homer. He booked Brum players as well (how many have we seen rush to book away players & ignore similar fouls from the home team) & he penalised them just as much for petty fouls. And he did give us a dubious, point saving penalty. |  |

Exactly this. The game couldn't get any flow to it because he just blew up everything there was minimal contact. Don't think it done either team any favours. | | | |

Probably get down votes, but what the heck. Thought Brum were unlucky. A small nudge for their disallowed goal and a pen that we would be moaning about if given against us.
Still you take what's going. Never believe the old saying " It will even itself out " as we found to our cost last season.
Whilst it is very early in the season I do have slight concerns due to injuries, recruitment and the ongoing saga's surrounding Davis and Hutchinson.
Big money in the bank is all well and good, but we seem to be having more than our fair share of problems getting signings over the line and those we are getting don't appear first choice Cajuste excluding. | | | |
