FA Cup Referee

What about the Norwich player who went down on the edge of his own box and grabbed hold of the ball? That was arguably a red card but Atkinson gave them the free kick to avoid having to make the decision.

Tbf fisher wins about 5 freekicks a game for challenges softer than that, didn’t really have a problem with it

It really isn't double punishment should they miss the penalty!Had it been the opposition goalie would you be of the same opinion?

Yes - because the rules dictate that a goalkeeper going for the ball cant receive both a red and a pen? So you are wrong

Obviously isn't aware that they changed the rules to prevent double punishment when a pen is awarded

Thye did change the laws but they still say you can be sent off if the referee decides you’re not going for the ball. I don’t think Ripley had any chance at all of getting the ball, it had gone well before he brought the bloke down - although it all happened very quickly.

Missed a blatant handball and the linesman down the IPS side failed to give a blatant offside leading up to thier penalty.

Ant 50/50 decision went to the Premier League team.

In fact he went to put his flag up, then changed his mind, it was almost like he forgot we didnt have VAR.



These are meant to be the best officials in the country.

Thought there was a blatant off side in the lead up to their penalty,but also for our goal, hand ball also a possibility, but our overall performance was unacceptable and any decisions right or wrong would not have
effected the result.
 
Many refs in this country are awful. VA R, used properly, would show this. That is why there seems to be a collective conspiracy to discredit VAR by interpreting VAR so inconsistently and not using monitors available. Refs seem to want VAR to be discontinued.
 
Could've sent Ripley off. Probably mindful that Ripley was going through the motions after the cock-ups. A sending off could've finished the lad off.

Could've easily sent Ledson off for a second yellow in the final 5/10 minutes (two-footed challenge)

Perfect? Nope. But his failure to give correct decisions didn't always go against us.

clear offside in build up to their 2nd - the effort blocked by Ripley - and the Penalty...
Harrop I also thought was offside but freeze frame shows their LB played him on.....

liners not making decisions presuming VAR will overturn is a problem when there is no VAR....

The same thing happened several times in the League Cup match against City - but without goals resulting from the lack of a decision.

I thought the linesman in the run up to their penalty started to raise his flag,then let play run on, obvious penalty,but was like he was thinking VAR is in place so I don't need to make a decision ?????
 
Shite refereeing today. Two of Norwich goals offside, blatant handball on the floor, free kicks that never were. Ref failed to book a single Norwich player, almost as if he’d been told not to disadvantage a precious fucking Prem team- doss cunt.
