A Horse With No Name Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) I don't think I have seen a scuffle like the Semenyo v Number 5 for a very long time. Anyone see exactly what started it, because the ref obviously was oblivious to it going on involving 5 players while the game went on. Also, how on earth can the ref book anyone when he clearly saw absolutely nothing. Edited October 15, 2022 by CrackingCheeseGromit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those where the ref has to be seen doing something. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most City fans I was watching to ball and only realised that something was up when the SS started making more noise than usual. All I saw was Semenyo and their number 5 chest to chest grading each other’s shirts. No idea what triggered it all off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s standard practice when this happens and the ref and assistant miss the beginning for a scuffle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 The Millwall player had Semenyo in what was like a wrestling hold off the ball & when Antoine tried to break free, their 5 pinned him. Absolutely incredible how all 3 officials missed it, Semenyo was being held & unable to get free for nearly a minute. Cynical stuff but typical of how they went about it today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_bristol Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Thought Semenyo was a handful again today against another physical defence. Not long after the scuffle he got taken down via a horse-collar tackle by one of them who got booked and then subbed. AS did well to keep his cool, as I think they received instructions to wind him up. One of the first names on the team sheet for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I think the main point here is the ref may have made the right decision but it was through total guesswork. I didn’t see him engage with either assistant, although acknowledge that may have happened through the earpiece. For me, it was bad refereeing. He had no idea what happened but still gave the yellows. A better ref would have given no cards, and the fact he did I believe takes the incident away from retrospective action, which would have been the right outcome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better ref would have given no cards, and the fact he did I believe takes the incident away from retrospective action, which would have been the right outcome. I’m pretty sure he was talking with both assistants: both moved towards him as if to indicate that they were ready to talk, and the one on the Lansdown side was clearly talking into his mic (I assume). Like @Offside I didn’t understand how he could have restarted with a free kick though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 If it was an ice hockey ref, play on, let them cuddle and shove and keep going until anyone hits the ice or dies. It was 50 - 50, but there were 3 of them and only Tommy went in to back his team mate. At the time the ref blew, we had the ball and were streaming forward. How refreshing to play on and let justice have been the outcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even give them a bloody free kick. It should have been a drop ball wherever the play was when he stopped play 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
