The ref (see PGMOL thread)

[Bailes]

Absolutely appalling

 

[1879]

Utter disgrace. Neil sending off was bad enough but then not to level it up and give Greenwood a second yellow at 0-0 is outrageous. If I was Mowbray I’d walk the players off the pitch

He’s a ****. Absolutely ruined the game. You see dissent go unpunished every week and this arsehole decides to make a point today.

By the letter of the law it was booking and 2nd booking. Yet he chooses to ignore other bookings throughout the game.

 

[englishman abroad]

For the first couple of weeks everyone booked for dissent, then for 2 months nothing, then suddenly a Sunderland player gets sent off for it.

The officials are killing football

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

If saying the word ‘fuck’ is a sending off offence they might as well just fold football now and use the stadiums as ministries for silent monks.

 

[Deleted member 53903]

If Neil got sent off for saying "its a f...ing foul" we may as well pack in football now and watch croquet

I think this is correct. Surely he can say “enough… 1 more time and you’re off”. There has to be some common sense. If he continues it after that then by all means send him off.

Boro just been handed the game

he was tremendous

 

[Rossi]

He let their central midfielder, Crooks? Get away unpunished with constant fouling must have dragged back at least 3 players ,3 bookable offences and never got booked for any of them 1st half

 

[Weardale warrior]

Big day for the ref. Clearly wanted to make it all about him and did!
He is strutting around sheepishly knowing he has fucked this game. We aren’t talking about a debatable decision following a challenge. We are talking about. A grown man saying words that hurt your feelings.

 

[Flavonoids]

Another one of those arseholes like Webb that pointedly stares at where something happened as if he can see into the past ... apparently that makes you a good referee and not a massive bellend. However, I beg to differ.

 

[dangermows]

when the ref ruined the game by being trigger happy and showed Neil the red card?

 

[nelford_safc]

Fuck off you boring ****.

 

[Scootsie]

The ref shaggers on here won’t like this.

 

[Graieb]

Ref decided the game but you cant fall to shit this badly just cos you have 1 red card like

Absolutely, he set the tone in letting fouls go unpunished. Soon as a Sunlun player reacts they get a 2nd yellow.

Really poor refereeing

These things happen however Neil is to blame .
If he said nothing he wouldn't have been sent off

 

[Phantom of mobs]

Fuck off you boring ****.

Red card for you sonny jim

 

[Windypants]

It appears that saying 'That was a f*cking foul, ref.' Is a bookable offence. Beats me how every game doesn't end as three a side.

He let Smith away with two blatant yellows and then did the same with Greenwood.

He’s had an absolute shocker and the twat smirking about some of the decisions says it all.

Agreed, Mowbray as much to blame for the set up and subs 2nd half.
