Even the decisions he got right were wrong because there were advantages to be played. Truly abysmal display. One of the worst refereeing performances I’ve ever seen, and I don’t think that’s being unfair. He was conned for every little fall, even once or twice when we did it (massengo in our box). How Weimann got booked I’ll never know, similarly Danny Simpson. Booked a player on 55 minutes for time wasting which should have set a precedent, but it didn’t and he allowed time wasting every single throw from that point onwards. Clear decisions given the wrong way, eg the throw in that semenyo was tackled. Martin was wrestled non stop with no reward. Dont know who he was, but he’s well out of his depth at this level.

2015 Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Linesman by the Lansdown didn't help much either. Was very inconsistent in decisions and 50/50s went Swansea's way more than us. Ruined any momentum we were trying to build at times in the 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderwithtommy Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 We should watch back how Swansea react when they sense danger/ a break between the lines. They foul, take the booking and regroup, compare that for instance with massengo v Moore on Tuesday night for readings second goal (thought massengo was excellent tonight tbf so not singling him out). We simply have to get harder to play against, we don’t have the quality to our play teams technically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Ref gave 10 cards in what was not even a dirty game. Some truly bizarre decisions for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 The Simpson booking was one of the clearest cases of "I've booked 2 of theirs so I need to start balancing it out" that you'll ever see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 11 hours ago, Dan Robin said: IMO in the first half he was not that bad, but in the second he gifted them some freekicks and ignored some clear fouls on our players, so I disagree with ''for both teams''. Shame because we would have had more chances with more freekicks, especially after the changes in the 2nd half. It happens... I thought he had a good first half too….but then failed to follow through with his yellow card policy, that 1st half was based on the challenge made. 2nd half it was about not giving Latibaudiere a second yellow card. But Geoff Eltringham is on my list of bad Champ refs along with, Gavin Ward, Oliver Langford, Jarred Gillett and James Linnington. I don’t mind Keith Stroud.

BCFCadam Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Definitely went both ways though, fell for the easy contact way too many times and failed to stop Weimann being manhandled on every counter attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some truly bizarre decisions for both teams. Every time there was a foul, he seemed to look and make sure the player hadn't been book , then book him. How he let body checks and rugby tackles by the Swansea defenders go, while pulling up every soft touch was baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 He was very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
