firstdivision Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Others have mentioned it in the match day thread but I think it needs highlighting. Surely it’s OFFSIDE. Their bloke heads it at Bentley who saves and Christie, who was in a an offside position when the ball was headed goalwards, puts it in. It’s so offside. I’ve seen it several times. And then, of course, there’s the clear pen for the foul on Semenyo. Officials almost as bad as our defending. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a pen though IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Thought at the time he appeared to be ahead of everyone bar one player, so was offside, as was Weimann towards the end of the first half. Weimann’s goal though was definitely onside, he was level with the last defender. Said my piece on the non penalty decision, absolute joke.

I’ve looked at theirs quite a few times and Christie is clearly ahead of the bloke who headed it goalwards. It’s possible everything happened too quickly for the officials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 We need VAR. Refs can’t bottle so many calls that way. Standard of officiating in this division is offensive considering we pay to see it. It’d be bad if they were volunteers, but these are paid ‘professionals’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure why it was even a difficult one to give. Don’t think it is rose tinted glasses, we deserved nothing from the match…but it was off, or at least looked clearly so.

It was a bit similar to Kasey Palmer’s equaliser v Fulham. Just offside that should have been spotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Yes, Christie was offside. Ntcham shot - Bents save - rebound Ntcham second shot (Christie in front of everyone bar Bentley) - Bents saves again - rebound Christie nods in. Offside.

formerly known as ivan Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 How about rather than letting the officials make a decision for us, some takes responsibility for the situation and not let their full back run have the length of the pitch and get a cross in all unchallenged!

How about both? We defend better & the officials disallow an offside goal & award us a clear penalty? It isn’t either/or. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the general standard of officiating this season has been poor, Stroud today was no exception, buying all the little Swansea cute tactics, yet failing on the important ones. He can see Dasilva’s tackle clearly enough to warrant a booking, but not seemingly the trip / stamp on Semenyo which was half the distance away from him. How many games has the performance of the referee been a topic of conversation this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Yes Stroud is a ***, but TBF without VAR it can be difficult. Even the Swansea reporter said the challenge on Semenyo was possibly a Pen. It was, but the speed of it happening makes it more difficult, but being that close and not watching on a small screen perhaps a good Ref might see it. But again.... Stroud. I don't think the Swansea goal is even a difficult decision to give. No runners, no players crossing, no long ball to try and keep up with. Yet they still get it wrong. I thought Weimann was offside first viewing, but good timing of run and ball, on side. Fair play to the Officials Team, got one right.

Topper 123 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I listened to game on talk sport and they said it was a clear offside and semenyos run into box was a clear penalty but at mo that’s our luck onwards and hopefully upwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
