Re: REFEREE vs Pompey
He had the best view of anyone on the pitch, he watched it happen and decided no penalty on the basis of it been a Leeds Utd player, no other reason for it, he should be banned, but won't be.
I would like these arrogant tossers brought to book, but they won't be.
I would like them to explain why they decide such things, but they won't.
I would like them to be demoted, but they won't.
Odd how a manager gets a caution for asking the question, but tossers like him constantly get away with inept officialdom.

Re: REFEREE vs Pompey
I've thought for a long time that referees should come out after a game to explain their actions. Thr refrees association is made up of gutless cowards!mentalcase wrote: ↑Mon Mar 10, 2025 3:35 pm He had the best view of anyone on the pitch, he watched it happen and decided no penalty on the basis of it been a Leeds Utd player, no other reason for it, he should be banned, but won't be.

Re: REFEREE vs Milwall
Did Dean Whitestone leave his yellow/red cards at home?

Re: REFEREE vs Milwall
To be honest, I quite liked it.
He did the same for both sides, fair enough to me.

Re: REFEREE vs Milwall
Another game would have seen 6 yellows with ease, but fair for both sides, I worried a bit when Bogle clattered someone late on and I thought here comes his ban, but the ref left his cards at home like Farke left his subs on the bench, no need for either, which made a refreshing change.

Re: REFEREE vs Milwall
The only real complaint I had with the refereeing was the ridiculous offside call that cost us a goal. Beautiful bit of work between Piroe (especially) and Aaronson wiped out by a poor, poor call.
Not Whitestone's fault, though.

Ref was decent I thought, he can't call the offside from there.

Re: REFEREE vs Milwall
Potential yellow cards not given
Bryan on James x 2
Cundle on Soloman
Cundle on Tanaka
Tanganga on Firpo
Mitchell on Piroe
And the assault on James by the long haired gypo when he pushed both hands on Dan's chest sending him sprawling to the ground, which was in the box at the South Stand.
No wonder James struggled a bit as the Wall targeted him stopping by any unfair means.
To be fair, Firpo & James could have received a yellow card.
Officials error list
No cards for some brutal challenges.
Yet another penalty not awarded.
A defenite corner not given.
A beautiful goal disallowed by an impulsive linesman.

Thought the officials got decisions terribly wrong.
How many penalties have they denied us this season?
I reckon at least seven, there's another one of late I've forgotten.
Three penalties not given in the last couple of months.

Re: REFEREE vs Milwall
There's a run of 43 fouls without a card being awarded at Elland Road (24 in WBA game, 19 last night) since Luke O'Nien was booked for Sunderland. It's the first time there's been consecutive league games at Elland Road without a card since October 2008.

Re: REFEREE/Linemen vs Middlebro'
Former referee Mark Clattenburg has questioned how assistant Darren Williams ‘is still operating at the top tier of the Football League’ following a third incorrect offside call in eight weeks against Leeds United.
“The two incorrect offside decisions are unforgivable,” Clattenburg, who refereed 297 Premier League games and 70 in the Championship, told Leedsunited.news. “The same Assistant Referee has made earlier errors in the season and one would question how he is still operating at the top tier of the Football League. I am sure PGMOL and his coaches will be looking at this and trying to improve his future performances.

Re: REFEREE/Linemen vs Middlebro'
Leeds United were on the receiving end of a “massive” error when Ao Tanaka’s goal was ruled out for offside during their clash with Middlesbrough, ex-referee Keith Hackett has said.
“That’s a massive error by the assistant referee in the Middlesbrough v Leeds United game.
“He ruled that Tanaka was in an offside position when he scored. Replays clearly show that Tanaka timed his run brilliantly before putting the ball in the back of the net.
“Wrong, wrong, wrong. This could impact on Leeds United in a very negative manner. These big decisions must be right.”

Re: REFEREE/Linemen vs Middlebro'
I don't expect anything to happen 64, if it does, a little slap on t' wrist with a wet lettuce leaf will have absolutely no imact whatsoever.
I would like LUFC to come out with a statement, decisions like these cannot be allowed to continue, if it costs us promotion will LU then decide to issue a statement !!
