I personally think the ref realised he should have given a foul to us just before and was lenient. In other words he was shit twice.Ref was a few yards away looking straight at it. I’m agreeing with the ref on this one![]()

I said at the time that the ref didn't see it, he was looking the other way and was obviously asking that terrible assistant if he saw anything. Obviously he didn't just imaginary,not even close, offsides!The elbow on Pritchard looks worse every time I see it. From the ref's perspective if he's looking at the back of both players his views obscured. All he sees is their keeper move into Pritchard and the Pritchard going down. He can't see the point of contact or the throw of the arm. Of course, if he sees it on the face on angle he's going to give a red.
It's a plausible theory that they haven't made Keith Stroud retire to make Bond look good. Sadly, they're both irredeemably shite.I personally think the ref realised he should have given a foul to us just before and was lenient. In other words he was shit twice.
Just hope the club are drawing the situation to the powers that be - preferably with a suitable videoClubs have sussed him stop clarke you stop us
Me and you both marraRef was a few yards away looking straight at it. I’m agreeing with the ref on this one![]()
Except it was never a red, any other player bar Maja would have just got straight up & carried on.On the balance I say he got more wrong for us blatant ones too like the elbow and the offside goal, Ballard's tackle wasn't good but you have to think it was the first half refs on the fence between yellow and red often take that into account it may well have been a red in the second half. But that elbow was blatant, and it looked onside from the Southstand never mind side on how they fucked that one up I'll never know.
I'll be honest I've not watched it back and sit in the Southstand so was the opposite end.Except it was never a red, any other player bar Maja would have just got straight up & carried on.
Or the post (2) and bar (1) or the denying of a clear cut penalty shout (the boy puts his leg out in front of Paddy to stop him) that came to their rescue... Mind , one shot on target (goal) should make up for their disappointment. I thought they may have had a penalty shout very late on but a good solid defensive play saw the little No7 shit off.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.
The voice of sanity prevails.My first and last on this.
Firstly you absolutely deserved it, us missing key players in Yokuslu, Phillips & Wallace and a half-fit BTA not being able to start, helped you.
The referee and "assistants"were awful, for both teams. Ballard & Furlong were both absolute nailed on red.
Classic championship game with one team turning up, the other not.
On that showing I don't think the current top 4 will be sweating much.
Onwards and hopefully upwards.

Aye. One used to get in my old east London local, the one you n Mrs force came once. When wba were playing midweek or weekend (not on tv)he’d sit at the quiet end of the bar listening with headphones on listening to some radio commentary getting all excited by himself. Jumping up and down and dancing around in delirium occasionally……….which was the cue for someone to quip “Looks like they’ve got a corner”.Always found the Baggies to be decent
Must have been to the Hawthorns a dozen times with many happy score lines. One of their lot nicked my scarf. Mind you that was 50 years ago.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.

I would agree, but why does he book their player if that's all he sees? Also it was on the halfway line, definitely not their keeper!The elbow on Pritchard looks worse every time I see it. From the ref's perspective if he's looking at the back of both players his views obscured. All he sees is their keeper move into Pritchard and the Pritchard going down. He can't see the point of contact or the throw of the arm. Of course, if he sees it on the face on angle he's going to give a red.
