The Referee

But can he do it on a cold wet windy Wednesday night at Stoke

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Just seen it again for about the 15th time

It’s just a penalty. Simple as that.

If it had happened at the other end, there wouldn’t be even a murmur from the RS or the media about it being a wrong decision.

That can’t be the right still image, as no way the best full back in the werld gets absolutely legged from that position by a lad who’s been out with a hamstring injury.

He ran him like usain on the last leg of a 4x4. No danger.

 

[maccavennie]

Gave a terrible free kick against Holgate and should have booked Salah twice and Mane once for diving.

But apart from that he was excellent. Was shocked he didn't overturn the pen.

[arch stanton]

it will be an advantage for when Richy turned the RS played who made a grab for him

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I'm sure today's ref was the one I thought was really good against Fulham

 

[dead_soft]

Not gonna fully trust a ref until they send off Van Dijk because Doucoure whispers to him it deserves a red rather than a yellow

After seeing it again, trent hooks his leg up and brings him down. This is after dom clips trents head with his knee. It was 100% nailed on penalty and motd highlighted where trent's leg tripped dom. Well done ref.

He throws an arm out to try to grab him too. There’s about 3 different actions that could have been a pen.

It’s a mark of the one sided nature of the media when it comes to that shower that it’s even a debate.

For all the moaning we do about referees, Salah diving, Mane fouling everyone, this fella had absolutely non of it tonight and has given the best performance I’ve seen in ages from a referee.

Fair play lad and don’t open your post for a few days.

Not one of the usual suspects, hence a competant job...wont last long in this league mind

 

[blue61]

When I saw him go to the screen, I feared the worst. But he'd obviously made his mind up regardless of what he saw. Good decisive reffing for a change.

 

[stevie blott]

Stone wall pen that.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Sean Promises?

Keep up - Everyone knows a Sean promise is a real promise.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

He did not act like the usual reDeree we get against them. IF he had we would have been 2-1 down.

 

[barneygumble]

I mean, if it wasn’t us, I’d still be singing the referees praises.

Genuinely kept the game under control, and didn’t let diving go rewarded. Kept his cards in his pockets mostly.

Well in, great game.
