ref today

Seen a few negative posts and on stokes website gave him 2/10. I don't understand. For me it was nice to see a referee trying to let the game flow and not booking people for next to nothing. Compared to some of the idiots we have had down at oakwell, he was very good and contributed to a free flowing game of football

 

How the hell Stewart survived 90 mins is beyond me! nt

 

Disagree, he was blowing up for little things and seemed to forget his cards.....how they got away without a booking is beyond me!

 

How Anderson lasted as long without getting a booking is also beyond me

the petulant little Barsteward

 

I think he was merely pointing out that the ref was letting them get away with murder.

By the way, what did you think of today?

 

Really? I thought he blew up very easily. I'll never know how only one of our players got booked either.

 

How any QPR player escaped a booking beggars belief nt

 

He was complaining every two minutes, did a couple of dives too. Totally unprofessional and I think it's his attitude that stops him being a premiership player as he clearly has th ability.

I thought we were a lot better today and the formation was much better than last week with a winger playing on the wing (now if you could just try that one when you arent FORCED to simon that would be great) and anderson coming (slightly) wider the midfield looked a lot more solid defensively as well as a threat going forward.

The two strikers played well with mifsud making some great runs off the ball and bogdanovic coming back a lot.

Defence looked solid and showed yet again that we are at our best with foster as one of the centre backs instead of moore and souza together and also while van homoet is sat in the stand.

The only area that I thought was poor was the goalkeeper. He persisted with long hopefully punts to the 5 foot tall mifsude against a 6'6" defender for the duration of the match and just didn't look very aware again. Not sure why he's been like this for so long but I think steele deserves a chance again. I got particularly pissed off when Muller kicked the ball from his hands, it went sailing over mifsuds head and was headed away by the defender and muller started shouting and waving his arms around trying to blame mifsud for not being 8 foot tall.

 

blew far too easily and should have booked 2 or 3 of their players

 

I thought he was one of better refs....

we have had this season to be fair, it said in programme he's 31!! he looked 51

 

what gets me is that he told davey thaty he had'nt seen the incident between anderson and stewart........ but surely he must have seen it, otherwise why did he give us a free kick.

 

Missed it too

But my mate said it was a head butt. Time for video evidence perhaps?

 

He gave 2 free kicks for us. One when Mifsud was running through which would have meant he was one on one with the keeper. The second where Stewart seemed to swing an arm at Anderson.

Neither were punished with a card. Unbelievable.

 

ADS was very lucky not to give a penalty away

Every time QPR had a freekick, Da Silva grabbed Stewart, and held him. Stewart eventually got pissed off and shoved him very roughly to the floor. Should have been sent off, but Da Silva was a lucky lad a few times before that.

 

I didn't see it

But the ref saw something worthy of awarding a free kick, so quite how he didn't think it was worth a card is strange!

 

He was bloody awful

How they got no bookings I'll never know.

Gave them nearly everything, 90% of our free kicks came from the linesmen!

 

Smack in front of me

Stewart and Anderson had been tussling, Anderson let go, put his arms above his head and Stewart swung his elbow straight into Anderson's solar plexus!

 

He could have been booked 6 times by my (biased) reckoning throughout the game

But the ref saw the ADS incident and gave the free kick for an off the ball incident so why did he not book him?
