    Tuesday

    The last minute of a goal-less match v Blackpool -- Bradshaw on the attack and goes down in the box. As far as we can see there was no contact but to our amazement the ref gives us a penalty - Watkins takes it and scores.

    Do we - complain about the ref who clearly got it wrong?

    keep quiet because bad decisions are 'all part of the game?'

    Accept it was a wrong decision but it's o.k. because we've had some bad decisions made against us recently?

    Until we complain about bad decisions be they in our favour or not nothing will change re referring standards. (1600 Fulham supporters delighted with last Saturday's ref.)

    We don't get them in our favour though. That's the point.

    The original post is pointless. You know the answer already. It doesn't excuse the fact that many refs are getting bid decisions wrong. I'm quite sure they don't do it deliberately, I'm also quite sure over a thousand games they even themselves out.

    It won't stop us getting upset when we are on the end of a bad one, it won't stop us saying we got lucky when we are in the end of a bad one in our favour.

    2 options, stop the game every time a decision is made for a review or get on with it.

    I'm honest enough to say when a penalty given against us was the correct decision and I would be the same if we ever have a soft penalty like Fulham got on Saturday awarded to us.

    When did we get a major - i.e. Penalty to us, or a stonewall against us turned down - decision go in our favour ?

    Not being over partisan but I genuinely can't recall one

    Rubbish, they won't do anything no matter what we do or don't do.

    I agree refs are getting big decisions wrong but until ALL supporters complain nothing will change - if you look at the recent Fulham game 10% of the crowd were very unhappy with the (wrong) penalty decision but the other 90% were delighted.
