EFL Officiating Abomination Journal 23/24

[Trelleh]

Knew it wouldn’t take long until I got the inspiration to start this thread.

 

3 minutes added time today from the fourth official.

Until there's a stopclock brought in, officials will continue to breed incompetence

[The Doctor]

I mean 3 minutes when the head injury was 2 minutes and there were 8 subs is just brazen corruption. 

[Pliskin]

Absolutely tin pot. The standard of everything in this league is a joke. The ref wants ****ing shooting. ****ing disgrace. 

[alanf0x]

I get maybe we should have had a few more minutes but our finishing and play in the final third was a lot worse than todays officials!

The ref was an absolute disgrace today. You could tell just how arrogant he was. Wouldn’t speak to them just kept telling them to go away.
 

You gauge a lot from the players reactions as well. Winks was furious with him twice, nearly every single player went over at full time to complain and hardly any of them shook his hand.

He stopped the game for the head injury, but the guy got up after a minute and carried on without treatment.

So not only was our momentum in that moment stopped by the ref, the player with the head injury didn't even have to leave the field for 30 seconds, because he hadn't received treatment, which I thought in today's game meant you had to be assessed in any case. 

The ref was shite, letting them get away with blatant time wasting, without booking them, probably because it would have meant a second yellow, and then not adding the time wasting on.

Although we could have still been playing now, and I don't think we would have scored.

I genuinely think we'd have got a point if the right added time was given. Really poor to only give 3.

[sdb]

The ref had a real opportunity to show he wasn't a pathetic little rat by going well beyond the minimum 3 mins advised. I suspect the whistle was in his mouth by 92:30. Shambolic.

[Bordersfox]

Did he book the Greaves twice or was that a mistake by the comms on the broadcast?  I thought he had

Just spoke to my mate, Hull fan, and he used the word “corruption” as well regarding injury time. And that’s from the opposition!

Don't question things he can do what he likes

Nah, 2, 3 and 5 booked from the backline, plus 20 in midfield before that. 

 

Honestly though, how 5 didn't get a second yellow for every single goal kick wasting 30 seconds makes a mockery of the whole "yellow for timewasting" rule

[Jaspa]

What happened with Winks in the second half?

 

Seemed to motion that Seri had kicked him in the calf with the ball out of play and was quite animated towards the ref which earned him a yellow.

[Kierzz]

Didn't really believe there would actually be much difference but the standard of officiating in the championship is definitely at lot worse than in the premier league

[Bats8711]

Just

stop

the 

clock

[AKCJ]

3 minutes was a genuine joke. I think even if it was 6 there'd have been boos.

 

Hull took forever at absolutely everything. I'd be surprised if there were 20 minutes of football played in that second half.

Man City got 5+ minutes in the first half and scored in the  +5 minute.

 

It's a bullshit rule

You see, now you're using a word I was thinking of, as I walked out the ground.

Not that we've really been convincing in any of our games so far, but the thought did cross my mind, that the last thing the EFL want is for another relegated team to walk the league the following season after Burnley had done it!

Then I gave my head a shake, and thought I must be being paranoid.

[Craig]

3 in the first half was below par for the half, and 3 in the second was just beyond laughable.

 

I don't think I've seen the West Stand so animated since Nigel told them to FOAD when that board went up

I was honestly expecting at least 8 min, and thought it might be more.

I don't think so, I think they are just completely inept and up their own arses. Probably needed to be home by 7 or something. 

 

If it was that, then Vestergaard gets sent off for his lunge whilst they were arguably through on goal. 

[Matt]

30 seconds for a substitution, 8 substitutions, that alone is more than 3 minutes.

 

That's before we take into account the head injuries, the stoppages for fouls that led to 6 second half yellow cards (just a card happy ref - for both teams), any other stoppages and time wasting.

 

All of that said we'd not have scored today even if we'd been given the true amount though or even if it was 10+ minutes added.

The ref gave a free kick against Winks, when their player had just chucked himself on the floor, to win the foul and fool the ref.

Something their players seemed quite masterly at.

Rosenior has got them well coached in the dark arts.

 

[Drink Water]

Did anyone notice how that player dived when Winks was so far from him and then Winks went to the player and told him off and called him a liar for falling for no reason. Then the ref gave a yellow to Winks because he called the other guy a cheat for falling for no reason...
