formerly known as ivan Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Think we had the ref on our side for when Wells scored. Seen it a few times now, first thought it was shoulder to shoulder but the more I see it the more convinced I am that Wells trips the defender. Clever play maybe. It that goal is scored against us we’d be fuming the free kick wasn’t given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised it wasn’t given really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I thought it was pretty well refereed today. Largely let the game flow, got most of his calls correct. Don't remember much cause for concern. And yeh he got the call correct before Wells scored. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did to me too, was very surprised at the lack of complaints. Expect there would have been far more if it was 2-1 at the time. Thought it was a clear push by Wells for the second, to be fair, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Going to watch the couple of incidents back later hut given a) The penalty run and b) The general poor officiating (penalty against at Hull, only Sykes being penalised, no Bennett red etc etc) I can accept a little bit of luck here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I was amazed it wasn't given as a FK, we haven't got that sort of "rub of the green" for an age. I didn't even celebrate to start as I was that sure it was going to be brought back. I thought the Ref was ok for most of the game then went back to factory setting for the last 15 mins. I would have been gutted if they'd scored that and the Ref hadn't cancelled it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't celebrate until I was absolutely sure though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 If you watch it, Long isn’t really too aware of where the ball or Wells is. He’s on a yellow already and knows if he dives he might get a second yellow. Wells has done little wrong imho, leant into him and he was poorly balanced. I’m sure some refs give a free kick, but I think it was fine. Definite penalty. Thought ref made some very poor decisions throughout. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Watched it just now on EFL highlights on ITV4. I think it would have been harsh to disallow tbh, leaning towards 50-50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 4 hours ago, Super said: Has anyone seen a replay of their second goal? He looked miles offside. Nah i didn’t think so. From where I was it appeared we had a disjointed back line. Tanner was high, Vyner high, but Atkinson was deeper and I think played him onside. Just one of those switch off moments where the ball was turned over and quickly played forward and we were out of shape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Having seen the highlights their lad looks comfortably onside. Wells one can go either way but good to get one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 With the new rules it absolutely was not a foul by Wells. He simply out muscled the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 As soon as the defender let the ball bounce he was in trouble and was off balance. Not a foul imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching it again Nahki definitely trips him. Not that we care mind you! Anyone think the complaint to the FA could have played any part in the refs thinking? I guess this is the sort of thing we wanted out of it, putting the pressure on official to give us more favourable decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcofisher Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Watching from the touch line that fed Kahdra through, I though Sykes was fouled in the build up when the ball was won off him before Khadra was fed through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAZ MICHAELS Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Looked a foul on Long to me - I think we'd be raging if that happened to us. Nevertheless, great finish by Wells and about time we had a favourable decision or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
