Early on their player caught the ball and threw it into the stand. Referee failed to OK him Tomlin elbows Moray completely off the ball and witnessed by the ref. Not even a booking. Winnall elbowed and stood on. Not even a foul but the referee mysteriously had a word with their player about a foul which the referee says he didn't commit. Abraham goes in for a ball he was never going to get, foot raised off the floor and studs well and truly showing. Not even a talking to. Wilbraham runs over to ref and leans over him screaming at him. No caution. Their player again catches the ball and deliberately throws it away into the crowd. No action from the referee. I've seen some poor refereeing performances but I'd say today was as bad as any I've ever witnessed. Trevor kettle was made to look like Pierluigi Collina by his superior today
Golbourne going down after a challenge and writhing about as if he'd just had a pee on an electric fence. Their keeper wasting time taking a goal kick even when they were 1 0 down. One of their blokes feigning injury and asking for the physio to come on, only to then get up before the physio arrived. This meant he had to trudge off slowly. All this occurred while Sam Winnall was off having a head transplant, thereby reducing the time we had to play with 10 men. Thick as an extremely thick thing.
Their player running up the ref waving his arms around to get him to tell Davies to hurry up with his goal kick.
And what on earth was their number 4 doing right in front of Davies just before a free kick in the first half. He deserved a booking for being a complete plank.
Their keeper asking one of his defenders to take a goal kick to take up even more time. Was he really injured?
Then there's the less unsubtle stuff like the fouls by Morsy and Kay which got them bookings but when the self-same fouls were committed by Bristol players, nowt. Even his positioning was suspiciously bent, up with play when they were on the attack, miles behind when we were. Hence he missed numerous fouls on Winnall, including the blatant one before their second. The penalty should clearly have been re-taken. Lastly, I've seen a still from the TV highlights of their second and assuming the groundsman wasn't p!ssed when cutting the grass, Abraham is beyond Yiadom and off-side.
Nope, our keeper just takes an age to kick, always has. It's either that or it goes out for a throw in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
There was the O Neil handball he spent ages crouched over holding his hand that obviously hurt his hand but no handball. Can't believe the ref spent a few first half minutes wanting to be centre of attention giving players a talking to and no card was produced making you wonder why he took so long to get on with the game.
Apparently the ref missed encroachment during Winnalls penalty due to the Bristol player stood 2 yard in front of him!!!!!
You forgot the best one. The Bristol defender falling over and rolling about in last few minutes trying to get a free kick only to realise that there was no Barnsley player within 10 yards. He was spinning round on the floor like a dog chasing it's own tail.
I don't think I've ever seen a player pick up a ball on the pitch & throw it into the crowd to time waste and he didn't even get booked for it?! Incredible
Bristol city today were a complete and utter disgraceful set of footballers for all the reasons you have stated plus more.
Tomlin goes down on the edge of our box wanting a free kick and spends the next 3 or 4 minutes saying something to the referee while the game is still going on. If that is not descent then I don't know what is.
Flint won a free kick from a foul by Winnall (correctly) but then clipped him round on the ear. It was in injury time I think.
