ktfox59 Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 Some of the complaints will be false.david brent at his best.
Bamba's Babes Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 Simpson's arm was retreating. From our prospective it isn't, from theirs it is. Arm didn't have to be there I suppose.
RowlattsFox Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 I think the second one would not be given by most refs although one that would always be appealed for. He's close and its bounced up and hit his hand by his side. Not much he could have done.
ScouseFox Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 The second one is harsh, the first is just plain moronic and wrong.
Kitchandro Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 Neither should be penalties in a million years, I don't care if you've seen the second one given, it's just not a penalty. You can't just blast it at someone's hand from that distance and claim it's an infringement. I actually think that was a poor interview from Pearson, what he should have done was lay into the referee and the FA. Sure he may have got fined, but psychologically it could positively effect our players and the referee's who may subconsciously be forced to give us a decision as they may feel the pressure of a club who feels they are being mistreated. I admire Pearson for taking the high road but on this occasion he needs to pressurise those at fault. But from a purely right and wrong point of view he shouldn't have let the referee get away so lightly. Talking about video technology deflects the blame from incompetent officials who have most likely cost us 2 points. Today isn't an argument for video replays as much as it's an argument for referees getting punished for ruining matches and potentially seasons. These were two very basic decisions that he has no excuse for getting wrong.
Babylon Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 He's learnt to watch what he says. He's still a young ish manager so it's good to see. Having said that, you could almost excuse him for going mental today...He always has watched what he says, not often he loses it.
deep blue Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 Says Wes was unlucky but the 2nd was a clear penalty. I'd have to agree, the 1st was not a penalty at all, the 2nd I wouldn't call it a clear penalty (I know, I know it either is or it isn't) but i've seen them given and if a Liverpool player had done it i'd have been calling for a penalty. What fans call for is irrelevant. Let's be clear, the rules of the game state, categorically, that handball is an offence ONLY IF IT IS INTENTIONAL.Moreover, since a penalty almost always results in a goal, and a goal is crucial, often game-changing, then it makes sense that a ref should err on the side of the defence and give a penalty only if he is 100% certain in his own mind that it is a pen. If he has any doubt at all then he shouldn't give it. After consideration, should either penalties have been given?
dedlock Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 A no win situation for any manager. An interviewer directly asking for his view on 2 poor refereeing decisions.However carefully the manager replies it is difficult not to question the Ref's competence,even by implication.NP handled it really well by referring to technology to help the officials he basically suggests that you should look at the replays and see for yourself!

ealingfox Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 I think it might have gone slightly differently had we been 0-2 up and then the two penalties were given.
katieakita Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 Well it's a big call to say the ref is a cheat so he did the next best thing, Unless it can be proved otherwise the simple fact is the ref thought they were both penalties. Did not appear to be in a bad position so all Pearson can say is a replay would have helped get the right decision. Mind you with a 4th official and the ref wired up would have not taken long for someone to tell him he got it wrong so the 2nd one was a proper shock for me.

These were two very basic decisions that he has no excuse for getting wrong. The first one was definitely not a penalty, the second one technically shouldn't be but its one of those regarding luck- obviously we was having none of it... Again. It's always nice to see an animated manager for fans and pundits but I have to disagree with you. Everyone knows it was 2 poor decisions, deep down I bet even the ref does! But Pearson going on a rant was exactly what the reporter wanted, makes good news for sky to report and extra funds for the FA to claw out the club. It was clear to see Pearson wasn't happy with the decisions and I can guarantee that the club will make contact to the FA to report the decisions to show their displeasure. Sometimes biting your tongue in the spotlight and acting professionally is the better option and personally think it shows good leadership to the players not to lose their tempers in pressured situations

Fez of Mahrez Posted 1 January 2015 Posted 1 January 2015 First one was insane. Was right in front of us and it didn't even cross my mind that he might give a pen for it. Complete cnut.
