Referees

[alfinyalcabo]

Well all you whingers about refs on here(which is 99% of you)I bet you aren't whinging tonight after what must be the most blatant handball goal ever.. Like I said before the decisions even themselves out over the season..No doubt you will get a lot more of these decisions .. Refs hate Leeds my @rse..

In real time it wasnt as blatant as you say alf. Yes it was handball but ref cant give it unless hes sure. Certainly cant go on say so of the Forest players. Im still in shock that it went for us. About effing time.

They only give decisions against us when they are able to see them and then give it the other way.

When they don't see them, we still have a chance of getting something.

maybe a bit of retribution for what has gone on recently for leeds, bring on the next game!

This is the same ref who twice gave Forest a free kick in their penalty area for fouls they'd committed on our players.

We got a deserved bit of luck simply because they couldn't see it. Nothing more.

The referee made a mistake. It happens, it'll happen again. We too have so often lost when a team comes , grabs a goal and sit on it and we cannot break them down. I've got no complaints either way. Sometimes there's justice in football, sometimes not. You got your justice from an injustice to us. That's football. I'm just happy we didn't lose.

I see after the match Dawson was visibly accusing the ref of robbing them and expletives were very audible . Assume retrospective action will be taken with a one game ban now the precedent is set?

I think not ...

And again, appreciate the sentiments (and agree)

in less polarised and eager to assign blame time that used to be called rub of the green. The unpredictable variables are what makes sport sometimes frustrating but typically enthralling. without the refs and linoes the games would be carnage so sometimes we need to be a little more democratic and a little lesss quick to point the finger.

the Roofe penalty shout played at full speed was hard to spot. Equally, the lino probably only had a view of Roofe’s back so hard for him to call. Not that most of the various rent a pundits would concede that.

The stats thatt mattter,possession, shots on target and points on the board all look a damn site better than last year and those are the variables Bielsa has some control over.
