Mark Hughes should be charged by the FA for being a complete tosser.

It's "performances" like this when you wish for a lynch mob at hand or at least the opportunity to book referees, as well.

[The Guvnor]

I think that reaction from Claudio which is probably as rare as rocking horse poo should sway the jury, and a complete pardon and apology will be on it's way from the FA.

Surely Craig Powson should be charged for losing control of the game

Funny seeing that post from Craig Pawson on here justifying all the yellow cards.

In reality, to the letter of the law, they all could have been justified, but they all came during the spell of the match when Craig Pawson had totally lost control of the game. It was so obvious to see and a simple re-watch of the game will undeniably show that. Of course he has unanimous backing from the FA, but his performance yesterday shows he's not got the personality to referee. No respect, no authority, no common sense, nothing. I hate Ref Slagging, I really do because the majority of the time do a great job. Also this isn't about crying off because we didn't win, he just had a shocker and will regret this performance for a long time.

 

I just hope he's going to AFCON, is he eligible? 

 

Pretty much this - a good ref would not have booked albrighton. It was a trip which could have merited a yellow. But why issue one in added time when you have already shown 4 and sent one off. Lack of commomsense and his performance looked like he was 'on report' from Wednesday night and felt he had to referee 'by the letter'. 

 

peters was booked in error but he deserved one in any case ! so he got that right by mistake 

 

peversely, he can appeal that as mistaken identity is allowable on yellows. I'm not certain but I believe the card will not be re allocated to the correct recipient so they actually get away with no card at all for that incident! 

[Corky]

Expected. You can't go up to the referee and get away with it, however justified it might be. Having four stewards surround him always looks worse for the manager/ players too.

[NeilLCFC]

That cvnt Pawson should be the one they investigate, not Claudio 

[foxinsocks]

When are we going to see refs taken to task for messing up?

I love  claudio..... it must be bad if Claudio is wound up

[Argarath]

I habe a feeling Pawson sleeps with the fishes now ;P

Albrighton card - correct

king card - correct

simpson card - he carried on arguing his point so referee entitled to book him for dissent.

slimani card - no idea hat he said so can't say whether dissent or not. He did wave his arm at the ref

fuchs card - didn't see what happened. Did he throw the ball down?  If so, then it's dissent.

huth card - was a lunge but would need to see it from another angle to see if there was contact 

 

given that huth and fuchs are a card away from a ban and two home games to come before the end dec change kicks in, Claudio should be very upset that two experienced pros picked up those cards. 

 

As as long as he didn't use incorrect language then claudio should escape punishment. 

 

the club will will be fined re six bookings and warned re future conduct. 

 

 

Was your mate the ref?

[CosbehFox]

Bottom line is he failed to control the game. When he started handing yellows out for dissent, all he did was add to the feeling. When the first occasion of dissent occurred, he should have slowed the game down and gave the player a talking to with Morgan. He didn't and just lose himself in the occasion. 

 

Did he really need to delay the second half? He calls the players out of their changing room and they were on the pitch for nearly three minute waiting for him. 

 

Are the FA going to speak to Stoke about the tannoy announcer who kept adding to it with snide comments? His behaviour incite as much of the fierce atmosphere as anything else.

 

Finally if the FA do punish Ranieri, then why didn't Pawson send him off for the second half?

Albrighton yellow card correct

He tripped the player, a player I might add who would have got past him easily and been through into the area. In what world is that not a yellow card, it was a dangerous position for stoke and Albrighton just tripped him to stop him from going any further.

Really don't see how Fuchs throwing the ball down can be dissent? Surly running up to the ref and shouting in his face is dissent. Throwing the ball down is more frustration and passion.

 

Shocking performance by the referee trying too hard to make ammends for his previous shambolic performance.

It is, plenty of people have been booked for it.

 

I have no problem with his decisions if you take them in isolation. The problem was his game management, he should have taken the captain aside and slowed things down. Throwing out yellow card after yellow card to an already incensed team is just making matters worse, the best refs don't always play by the letter of the law. They allow some wiggle room so that they can manage the game and keep in control.

Mistaken identity cards do get reallocated to the correct recipient. 

[foxy boxing]

managers get these charges all the time, the heat of the moment of the situation has to be taken into account but referees need to be held accountable for their decisions. at the end of the day it will either be a fine, a warning or a touchline ban.

I agree here. I thought they would all have been bookings 3/4s of the time with the possible exception of Huth's. It was late, but it didn't break play up and he didn't go to ground. Maybe I need to look at it again. I also can't comment on Simpson's because I didn't hear what he said to the ref. That particular rule seems to be enforced with little in the way of uniformity; it seems as correct for a ref to ignore someone calling him a **** as it does to have a player suspended for three matches.

 

But Pawson could have calmed tensions earlier. He could have called the captain over, he could have perhaps exchanged one of the bookings for a final warning.

 

And he'd made a decision which most refs, most of the time wouldn't have given. I spotted little-mentioned challenges in two separate games over the weekend where both feet left the ground, the ball wasn't touched, and the player was taken out. One of them didn't even get a booking. And, in a slightly different sort of challenge, there was the Barkley one tonight. And of course the one Pawson didn't bother giving last week. You could argue that Vardy's challenge was better than some of those because studs weren't showing, he got the ball, didn't touch the player and both feet were on the ground at the time of the challenge. Plus I don't see how you can issue a red for the technique of a challenge when a foul is committed on the player mid-way through the challenge. It's like laying into a player for miscuing a clearance when he's being infringed.

 

So I'm not sure the authorities can have it all ways. And there's absolutely no defending Pawson's performance anyway, as the 'mistaken identity' booking demonstrates.
