Officials that spoil games through sheer incompetence

watkins gets a foul with a shirt pull seen times many and let go
They get a goal and ******* Watkins the cheating **** has his arms wrapped round Sibbick who cannot move, and their player gets a free header into net.
The commentators are on about poor marking and never either see or want to see the blatant foul
******* **** officials.
Cavare stood like a muppet never moves and let's his man have a free header.
Watch replays

 

Also kalas did same to wilks and we got nothing BUT when you’re defending a free kick you need to be hard not a load of scared pussies hoping it doesn’t come near you. Grow a pair of ******** and get the ****** cleared

 

The ref was shocking to let Watkins get away with his theatrics. He did the same very early in the game too long before the goal.

But we should still be able to defend a set piece or at least not concede a free header. The ref was dreadful but if we had took our chances to score 3-5 goals in the first half his performance wouldn't be mentioned as much.

 

The linesman in front of the east stand was ******* useless two fairly easy calls he gave the wrong way. We don’t play the ref enough either like other teams do. Can someone explain to me why he gave a freekick against Wilks first half saying he got in the way of the keeper throwing it out then let their keeper take the free kick from outside of the area despite him throwing it from inside. Ps refs need to start booking players for taking throws from about 20 yards from where it went out of play.

 

Did same at Hudds first goal

 

It was a foul on Watkins. Embarrassing theatrics from him, but I guess that’s what they have to do nowadays, the referee wouldn’t haven given it if he’d stayed on his feet.

Sibbick also had his arms around Kalas for their opening goal. Not convinced it would’ve made any difference, Sibbick doesn’t close down much even when he’s not impeded.

 

Would the ref have given a penalty had the so called offence been in the box? Personally at the ground in east stand lower and I didnt see a foul. Ref gave shirt pulling. Is that what you saw?

 

Agree on Sibbick but the referee did us more favours than them. Bristol should’ve had a pen when Mowatt fouled someone from behind in our area & got away with it.

Also the foul by Mowatt on the Bristol player on the touch line under the east stand was a clear red card offence which we got away with. In fact the referee didn’t even say anything to Mowatt & we got away with just a yellow to Thomas for the initial foul.

Watkins was clearly pulled by Diaby. His reaction or whether shirt pulls are given often enough are irrelevant, the ref got the decision right unfortunately for us.
