Thought the crowd let the ref get away with murder today. 1. Penalty on Nmecha was absolutely 100%.
2. Back pass to their keeper when our player would have been through on goal - bewildering decision.
3. Player miscontrols ball which hits his hand allowing him to maintain possession. Ref right in front of it waves play on. Fucking appalling.
 
Can't remember the Nmecha 'penalty' incident.

As regards the back pass, you should probably read up on the rules. He passed it to the keeper off his thigh, which is allowed.
 
From the Kelly you could only see the back of the player. Fair enough.

As for the Nmecha ‘pen’. About ten minutes in, played into the box, their defender makes no attempt to play the ball but instead plays Nmecha and pushes him to the floor. I don’t think I’ve seen one quite so blatant for a good while.
 
We’ve got on their backs in the past. Don’t think it doesn’t influence them, of course it does. Though they’ll all tell you different.
 
Referee wasnt great and contributed to the very stop start nature of the game however I can’t say he got anything major wrong today. Can’t recall a massive pen incident, defo wasn’t a backpass as anything from knee upwards is permitted.
gave free kicks at times for falling over, their lad williams in particular. He got given a free kick for a blatant dive when Browne clearly didn’t touch him.
Would like to see the offside goal again as from my view point our man (cant remember who pulled the ball back, hughes i think) didn’t look offside and unfortunately that was the only good move of the match
 
He was shite both ways. The handball was an absolute joke and the pen was a pen except he didn’t think so.
If that had happened to Nmecha in a red shirt at the Stretford End, it would have been a penalty.

The referee, Jeremy Simpson, lives just round the corner from me. He incurred the anger of the Leeds fans a couple of weeks ago, with his 'performance' against Brentford. He also reffed the game against Leeds when he sent Beckford off a couple of years ago. He's not a bad bloke for a referee, although getting him to admit he's wrong is impossible. At least he didn't book Pearson 🙂.

What do you men 'not a bad bloke for a referee'? Why shouldn't he be?

They got the offside for the Robinson goal wrong that's for sure. What penalty decision?

If that’s from the Browne cross Paddy...I thought it was a good call....Browne just went too early.

Odd he gave us a free kick didn't let us take it then blew for halftime before we took it.

He also insisted Browne leave the field for treatment when their player was booked. Thought they'd changed that.

That rule seems to change by the week, in the last few games we’ve seen some players have to go off and some allowed to stay on.
 
The referee last Wednesday was one of the best we have had at Deepdale in a long time. The one today left a lot to be desired. Absolute blatant penalty for us in first half. Stop, start game he slowed the tempo right down but, he was shite for both sides.
