Saw loads of comments on the match thread on there saying the ref was shite today, gave us everything, and that the tackle on Maja was criminal assault.

Not one mention of the blatant fkn elbow that nearly broke Pritchards face, or the two-footed lunge that nearly snapped Clarke's ankles, or Huggins getting ragdolled to the floor, or the obvious goal Jobe scored, or the 6 yellow cards they got for constant fouling.

Deluded nobs. Glad we slapped them.

Ballard is class but for me that was a cowardly challenge on Maja and should have been red. The fact that he then went on to score the opening goal and be most peoples man of the match will have wound the WBA fans up, we would have been exactly the same. Baggies fans are fine, I remember them all staying and applauding us when crowned league champions under Peter Reid. They have always been fine whenever I have went to the Hawthorns as well.

Tbf the ones I read, they were mainly about Ballard. Jobe goal they all agree was a goal, we were the better team and the ref was generally shite for both teams..the odd few just has Blue n white eyes. (Not much mention of the elbow) regarding the no goal given and the elbow happened straight in front of the camera, the officials need to hang their heads in shame when they see it.

If Dribbling, Gibbering Morons, didn't miss the fact that the Dribbling, Gibbering Ref missed the assault on the Sunderland player two seconds earlier...

It wouldn't have been sending off, because there wouldn't have been a foul, because play would have stopped for a free kick to Sunderland...

It's quite simple. Plain as day.
 
Honestly, although I’d need to see it again, I don’t think the Ballard foul was too bad. Sure it was a foul & probably a yellow but no way a red. Didn’t look like either of his boots made contact with Maja. He miss timed it & sort of scissored Maja with his crotch coming into contact, no way would anyone try to do that deliberately. I was really surprised Maja had to go off.

I had a look on their forum at FT, there were 39 posts on their match thread compared to 2000+ on hours at 5.30pm.

Should have been a booking when ref played on for the second goal as Myanda was rugby tackled to the floor bursting through as Pritch sliped Neil in.

Linesman disallowed a clear goal on one of the worst offside decisions I have ever seen.

Think they have little to complain about.

Every clubs forum is the same. Sees everything through their teams perspective and gets annoyed that the referee doesn't ref the game like they would. Literally the reason why 90% of the ref complaints are utter nonsense.
It is weird how local forums with a fan base majority will have a bias towards one team over another.

This one doesn't though. It's completely measured and fair.

If the ref had done his job & stopped play for the foul on our lad 30 seconds before the Ballard incident wouldnt have happened

It was reckless at best and when slowed it looks awful . With VAR he would have gone like but with VAR we would have been ahead by then
