Can we get a championship ref for the big games next time  

 

Genuinely think they’re better than the prem refs, never as many talking points or shots of them walking off at half time because they’ve ****ed it

He's got both of those calls pretty much bang on. 

 

That's a ridiculous challenge from Fatawu. 

It’s the lack of yellows he knows he should have given that’s why he gave it as a red card , yes it was a crazy challenge but seriously that was a pressure call for me . 

[Legend_in_blue]

Referee has lost control of the game.

[Dahnsouff]

Blood was up, ref seems to have sought to  even things up

[lcfcsnow]

Another poor first half where we barely threatened the goal again.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Wokeness has ruined the game, that was never a red and I’d argue they got hard done by for the pen 

[Trev3939]

Right decision. Law states that doesn’t matter anything else if the force is excessive enough and it was late too 

[Gav_LCFC14]

If thats a 3 match ban, i reckon we can appeal.

[VictorFox]

Their one  was more of a red than ours…Ref is a disgrace 

[Messi]

Two absolutely awful decisions from the ref there - never a pen or a red card.

[Guest Kopfkino]

Refs absolutely bottled it - shambles follows him everywhere tbf

[Clever Fox]

It was the speed of the Tackle fooled the Ref. His foot never left the ground so it was never dangerous, just late.  A Yellow at most.

[martyn]

It's borderline really. It was definitely reckless in terms of force but it was one footed and his foot was low.

 

Ridiculous from Fatawu to go in like that anyway.

[Chelmofox]

Effing @Ric Flair 's fault that as he predicted a red!

 

Fatawu has had that coming. Its the sort of challenge that if the ref is in 'that' frame of mind and the angle makes it look worse then its going to be given. He's got away with a few before.  A few mins before half time he simply doesn't need to do that.

Think the ref probably got both right. 

How is Fatawu’s a red… tell me? 

[The whole world smiles]

The only thing the ref has got wrong there is that their player should have been sent off too. 

[don_danbury]

Has this ref bin on the sauce? Completely ruined the game within 5 minutes then blows up early 😂

[HarryDee8]

If thats a red then the penalty one is also a red!!

[Suzie the Fox]

Gonna be a tough 45 mins watch now. 

 

Ref is having a mare

[Spiritwalker]

One foot barely an inch off the ground, that’s a yellow.

[Staff]

3 game ban now, fuxking idiot 

[Langston]

Whether you think it's a yellow or a red it's a ****ing stupid challenge to make.

Both should have been red

 

Inclined to agree with this. Think Fatawu's is a little harsh but it's hard and fast with studs up. Think reckless is a fair interpretation.

[foxfanazer]

Unfortunately the ref has listened to the mutants in the stands. Hope we stuff these

Unless he’s denied a goal scoring opportunity, then it can’t be a red and a penalty.

I mean it absolutely can be, see the Romero red against Chelsea for Spurs earlier this season

This challenge was worse than that one and it was pretty much a consensus that Romero deserved his red
