Bournemouth's Decisions

[Jezza]

We are looking into whether Bournemouth are getting more decisions in their favour than other's. If you feel during the recent match that you played that the officiating was irregular could you please state if this was the case. Here is a list of the trend that seems to be happening; 

9 April – Sheffield Uited 0-0
Wolves loanee Gibbs-White was also denied a penalty late on after appearing to be caught by Nathaniel Phillips before Filip Uremovic missed a late sitter to win it.

2 April - Bristol City 3-2 win for AFCB:
City felt they should have had a penalty when Chris Martin appeared to be fouled by Lloyd Kelly.

12 Mar - Derby which they won 2-0 but at 0-0:
However, Derby saw penalty appeals waved away after Ravel Morrison went down in the box under a challenge from Leif Davis.

8 Mar - Peterborough 1-1
Grant McCann's side felt they should have had a fifth-minute penalty when Jonson Clarke-Harris went down under a challenge from Jack Stacey, before Dominic Solanke twice went close for the hosts in the opening 10 minutes

26 Feb - Stoke 2-1
"Zemura's challenge on Jacob Brown was no different to Morgan's challenge [on Philip Billing]. Neither are red cards, but to give a red card and to give the other one as a thrown-in to the opposition is staggering"

15 Jan - Luton - still lost 3-2 but:
The referee initially awarded them a second when Cameron Jerome side-footed into the net after Bournemouth failed to clear a corner, but changed his mind after consulting his assistant.

24 Nov - Millwall 1-1:
The hosts thought Solanke had committed a foul in the build-up to the goal as he launched himself at the ball into the box, and that sense of injustice seemed to give the home side added impetus after the break.

6 Nov - Swansea - 4-0 however at 0-0:
The visitors began on the front foot, but had little to show from their early possession, apart from a penalty claim when the lively Ethan Laird felt he was tripped by Davis.

30 Oct - Reading 2-0 however at 0-0:
However, there was controversy in the build-up to the goal as Reading midfielder Danny Drinkwater thought he had prevented the ball from going for the corner which led to it.

2 Oct – Sheffield United 2-1:
"If I answer you honestly it will be ugly and if I answer you kindly it'll be fake." + his comments on the other goal being offside in the build up.

18 Sep - Cardiff 1-0 but:
The Bluebirds showed glimpses of attacking intent late on, with substitute James Collins heading an effort over before strong appeals for a penalty when Kieffer Moore took a tumble in the box.

6 Aug - West Brom 2-2:
Four minutes later, Robinson had the ball in the net but the goal was chalked off by the referee.

I'm intrigued who "we" are?

I think they should have been penalised for the green and black kit they wore when visiting Ashton Gate. That the sort of thing you're after @Jezza?

Yes, who are you?

We should have had a penalty against Bournemouth at 2-1 down. But that's par for the course for us this season I'm afraid.

[Mr Popodopolous]

Our one I watched several times and slowed it down several times.

In real time from the angle it could be seen as 'clever' defending, eased off the ball arguable either way but from angle 2 yes it was pretty clear although Parker scoffed at it in the post match interview.

Plus @Jezza there was a question as to whether their equaliser might have been offside on 2nd April although certainly not blatant, stonewall etc.

Who cares?

Referees Association. 

[GrahamC]

Seeing as they’re mentioned twice I’m guessing Sheff U?

Don’t think would many dispute we have been on the rough end of a lot of penalty decisions this season but the Swansea one above did make me laugh, seeing as they lost 4-0.

Looked offside to me.

Will watch back a few times more, seemed arguable certainly I thought.

Chris Martin brought down by Lloyd Kelly for a stonewall penalty when the score was 2-1. Pen not given.

Another one for your list.

That's LITERALLY the second example on his list!

[Port Said Red]

Every one of those examples seems to be part of a larger "report" that presumably describes other incidences in the game. 

I think you could take individual incidences from any game and infer bias, even our games have (occasional) decisions that go in our favour.

Only saw it from the 1 angle but solanke does look miles offside for their first goal.

Didn't read the list as assumed he was asking as he didnt know of any decisions involving us. What was the point of his post then if he already knew the answers.

You took that extremely mild laughter at your expense, well, didn't you!

[cidercity1987]

Wonder what Jezza makes of today's penalty

98th minute

Certainly not one we would have been given
