Truly outrageous that this was allowed.
The way he celebrates after blatantly cheating is an embarrassment.
Not taking away from the fact we deserved to lose but this gets worse the more I watch it.

Is it possible that there will be a retrospective ban for this lad?
Blatant cheating and the officials have completely missed it, absolutely disgusting how he goes and celebrates it as well.

I asked in the match day thread... But do referees and officials review footage from the first half during Half Time? Will he have known in the second half they handled it or not?
The fact such blatant cheating was missed was appalling. I was also outraged when the referee decided to only start booking their players for time wasting during throwins at about the 75th min mark, allowing them to take the absolute piss for the whole game up to that point. The ref has no control of the game and they took advantage with their feigning injuries (okay tbf 2 resulted in subs) and with how long it took them to resume the restart after their second goal.
Cheating b******s!!

Sometimes you know from the reactions what’s happened without seeing the incident. Rumour has it some footballers cheat but the reaction was so instant and so vehement that it was obvious he’d done what we thought he’d done. However, he can only give what he sees and he obviously missed it. The linesman on the pavilion side wouldn’t have been able to see it and I do think the referee was maybe in the wrong position to see it.
Without VAR you’ll always get things missed unfortunately and I don’t want VAR!
There is a successfully deceiving an official offence in the law book. I did think it would include scoring a goal by deception but I’ve read it and it seems to only include simulation when that results in a goal or penalty.
You’d hope they find a way however because it was appalling.

Embarrassing.
If the ref had seen it, he’d have given him a yellow. Yet a defender would get a mandatory red if he mistimed a challenge on a forward bursting past him on the halfway line, if he’s the last man. Even though it may well be an unintentional foul- and the attacker would still have had a lot to do to score.
Yet this cheating twit gets a guaranteed goal from the most blatant offence. He deserved a straight red just for celebrating so gleefully. It’s wrong. And whether we played badly or well, the first goal of any match does massively set the tone.

No, they’re not allowed to review anything at half time. I found that out today.

Can guarantee the club will be sending in a request to the EFL to get him suspended.
Honestly there is one thing i can stand more than anything else in football and that is blatant cheating by handballing it.
Bristol fans might find it hilarious now but i dont think they will be laughing when he faces a suspension.
No, and the officials won't be reprimanded either.
OP
Sadly he won't get suspended and neither will Mads booking be recinded.
The referee will probably get given a league one game and that will be it.

Issue is quite simple - refs are so strictly marked and reprimanded that they can’t even things up anymore so each error is a black mark against them.
For example ref today can’t let things slide for us to make up for the goal as that would be another black mark.
Alternatively on time wasting he has to deal with injuries- no choice in the rule book. He knows they are fake so could give us a bit of leeway on occasion as he knows they are taking the piss. Ref can’t do it anymore. This guy will be punished by running the line or fourth in league 2 next week.

Exactly what I said. Reminded me of Peter Shilton after the hand of god Maradona goal.
I accept the fact that the ref just didn’t see it though. I don’t think it was a biased decision. Though there have been many decisions given against us in other games which I’m convinced the ref didn’t see but just went with the crowd and player reactions. Particularly when players go down in the box v the keeper and the ref is 10 yards behind play.
OP
The bit that I didn't understand was the referee pointing to his ear piece waiting for someone to give him some help.
If he didn't see anything, what was he waiting for VAR?
It's inexcusable.
I think he knew it was a handball from the reaction but he didn’t see it . He was probably hoping one of the officials would help him out.
I’m never bitter about refs not giving things they can’t see ( unless that in itself is a signal of their incompetence, but they can never see all angles and whilst I had the perfect view it happened very fast and even I wondered whether it might have been woodmans hand I saw punching the ball ). I’m always bitter about refs giving things they don’t see but just hoping from the player and crowd reaction they’ve got it right. That is genuinely being a bent referee.
We always seem to get the shitty end of both sticks though !

FFS- we'd haev it if Riis got away with it - yes, a cheating bastard but move on, we were shit, everyone is forgetting it only happened as a result of a schoolboy mix up.
