Do you think the refereeing decisions we've had for the last few months have been acceptable? Though I guess that having to admit that we've been hard done by would detract from your agenda so I can see why you don't want to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have been hard done by, as have all the other teams in the division. In fact we have also benefitted from bad decisions for teams we have played but those get ignored. The more successful you are, the less you moan about refs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Can't be too many refs that "haven't done us" before. Welcome to Ashton Gate, James. I'm sure you're a great ref and a wonderful human being. We hope you have a very long and successful refereeing career.. the career you deserve and it will be nice to see you reffing in the Prem soon. All the best! And apparently all the Cov fans think you're a manual manipulator. Edited October 4, 2022 by AppyDAZE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but all I hear from Liverpool and Man U fans is moaning about refs and there aren’t anymore successful clubs in the English league.

Well......not so sure about Man U?.........The only thing they have won in the last 10 years, is the highly prodigious Europa Cup....though i do get your general point?

Denbury Red Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 So if he’s never reffed us or Coventry does that mean he’s inexperienced? Lets hope he’s bold and doesn’t allow any time wasting tactics like standing in front of free kicks like we saw v QPR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Thought he was very good on the whole.

One of the better ones, don’t think Coventry are the most difficult side to ref, but was impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we should have had a corner near the end, but I think that he just didn’t see the deflection from his angle. And I wouldn’t have been entirely surprised if he’d given Williams a red so we have him to thank for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but I think he might have got the card out quite quickly, then got distracted by the ensuing melee.

watkins1983 Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Thought he had a good game apart from the cross when it clearly came of the Coventry defender and he gave a goal kick. Tbh his view was prob blocked. Linesman good with the offsides, a lot better than the shower of sht against qpr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I also thought he had a decent game. He let the game flow as much as was possible. It’s always a positive sign when you don’t notice the referee until we’ll into the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 99.99999% sure he didn't show Williams the yellow card but NP in his post match press conference with Radio Bristol said he was out on Saturday now through suspension. Poor communication from the ref if he didn't, thankfully I've got my reasoning in to the OPTA guys about what happened. I'd also say that Atkinson can feel hard done by getting a 10th minute yellow; the analyst on the end of the phone to me tonight said Palmer committed six fouls and didn't even get talked to. Not to mention the ref missing that corner near the end.... Not the worst I've seen but far from acceptable with some of his work tonight.

He didn't raise a yellow card to Joe.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
