Never a red...more clown refereeing

 

[BEEcool]

Rubbish, are you a Brighton Supporter?

Strange reply.

 

[GuyBee]

Before this season, when was the last time we had a red card for violent conduct?

Last season. Schade v Villa

 

[brooks]

Last season we were more or less an equal to Bournemouth and Brighton. At the moment Bees are eating dust.

 

[Rob-BEE]

Some fight shown in the 2nd half at least, although I think Brighton had their foot off the gas and were never really in trouble.

Maybe we shouldn't read too much into an away defeat against a team I'd expect to be top 5. But we do seriously need to sort out our discipline, don't give refs the decisions to make.

 

[Twickenhamben]

So few Brighton fans there at the end to acknowledge their team going second in the Premier League. Like a fire drill. Weird.

Probably because it takes about an hour and a half to get a train.

Isn’t today the first day we have fallen behind Bournemouth? Admittedly, Brighton are on a good run.

 

[TadB]

I don't think it matters what I think. Nor does it matter what you think (although it seems you think it does!)

It does matter what the referee thinks. When the Brighton man stood up he thrust his head very close to Thiego’s face how does the referee honestly think that is OK, and not an aggressive stance. What does he expect Thiego to do?

 

[w7 bee]

Started poorly & selection wanting .......paid heavy price ........horrible loosing going into break ........

 

[ABEEE]

Surprised to see many say it wasn’t a red card, can never put ur hand up like that.

When did I say it doesn't matter what the referee thinks?

They had a bad start and are on a roll.

Keep his hands to himself and show some self discipline?

He is a pro footballer. Not a raw footballer on Hackney Marshes.

 

[w6bee]

11 v 11 they were the better side and should have been 2 up before the “soft” sending off. We gave away the midfield out of possession with only 2 players in that area though and not sure you can afford to do that against a team like Brighton. Thiago was getting involved with another player beforehand so it was looking on the cards for a yellow minimum for him.

We looked better 10 v 11 though and Keith was quite ambitious with the subs. Thiago could potentially be looking at some time on the bench when he comes back. The one shot he had when was through with a chance to lob the keeper was pretty tepid.

 

[jlove]

Wrong team selection and tactics, they targeted our weaknesses and we lost the game within 20 minutes. Everyone so passive and didn’t look like upsetting them until the last 20 minutes.

Nil points, we move on.

 

[gj]

Cant be having we did well 2nd half it only looked like that because Brighton stepped off it was a tough watch the same as Hull and Sunderland how many games have we played well this season 3 and 1st half against Leeds

 

[TadB]

He is a pro footballer. Not a raw footballer on Hackney Marshes.

That is as maybe, the point is why was Thiego sent off, and not the player who instigate it by committing a foul (with assistance) , and then compounds it by adopting an aggressive stance thrusting his head within inches of Thiego’s face. Red for Brentford nothing for Brighton. That is not biase?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I hate this f***ing ground.

 

[TadB]

Surprised to see many say it wasn’t a red card, can never put ur hand up like that.

A red for both may have been the honest decision.

 

[Lush55]

Admit it you lot, we were sh1t.....end of
Keep playing like that, we are 12/14 at best.

 

[ABEEE]

When football was a contact sport this wouldn’t have even got a second mention, but it isn’t anymore so there’s no way you can defend it. The Brighton player reacted first though.

If that was against us everyone on here would shout for a red.

 

[BURFORD BEE]

Absolutely. Total indiscipline. Same as KLP the second bloody time. Then Kevin shoves someone over. They all need a kick up the arse. I think Thiago missing for 3 games will change the style of play or rather I hope it will. Sick of seeing the ball humped up to him all the time. We have fast skilful players.
As for the selection wtf was that. Second half was a draw even with 10 men with the changes. Bloody annoyed!

 

[mhead bee]

Third time he’s done that this season. Chelsea, Liverpool and now today. So stupid and brain dead.

He didn’t do it against Liverpool, he never touched their bloke and he went down holding his face

 

[Gee Bee]

Wrong team selection and tactics, they targeted our weaknesses and we lost the game within 20 minutes. Everyone so passive and didn’t look like upsetting them until the last 20 minutes.

Nil points, we move on.

KA seems to want to find a spot for Hickey and KLP, but disrupting the Midfield where Brighton are strongest was not the best call. 5 at back out of possession and KLP inside when we had it, just gave them more space to dictate. YY would have been a better choice to start to try and win more ball and close space.

 

[shaun]

Brighton are a really good team. They have conceded 1 (ONE) league goal at home this season.

We chucked that game away due to a combination of poor defending and ill discipline.

First goal was a cr*p goal to concede albeit to a worldie. Kayode headed the ball back in to the danger area and I don’t think Schade was quick enough to get out to try and close the shot down.

Thiago deserved to go. Ridiculous response. Albeit, at some point, referees need to get on top of all of the blantant goading and provocation. Much more of this and every set piece will turn into the presser before a boxing fight.

KLP did give away a penalty. I don’t have a problem with that but again the referees need to be consistent. If that is a pen then each PL game should have about 6 penalties.

I didn’t expect anything today but to lose the way we did was irritating.

 

[TadB]

If that was against us everyone on here would shout for a red.

But it was against us?

 

[ABEEE]

But it was against us?

Im talking about the action on one of our players. Don’t be silly

 

[mhead bee]

If that was against us everyone on here would shout for a red.

And every time the ball goes in the oppositions area I shout for a penalty but it doesn’t mean it is.

That red card was again, so fekkin soft. Honeslty, just give both players a talking to, tell their bloke to stop grabbing and Thiago not to push people away. Calm it all down in 3 seconds.

You can call for it yes, everyone does. In the stadium

I mean people on here in the forum would say it’s easily a red.

 

[HungryBee]

It was an honest mistake from Thiago. I highly doubt he meant to get the Brighton player in the face but he was daft to let his emotions get the better of him and whether it was the right decision for him to get a red or not, it's ultimately Thiago that's accountable for making the decision to retaliate to begin with.

I don't think some people on here seem to comprehend that supporting the team and the players while being objective about the decisions that go for or against us are not mutually exclusive.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Keep playing like that, we are 12/14 at best.

100% and that is optimistic.

We’ve gone backwards in all departments this season.

 

[callum2468]

Let down once again by a lack of discipline from the team.

Ready for some nonsense apology from Thiago. Save it fella.

Which is what Oliver originally did, it was VAR that intervened

 

[TadB]

If you’re going to write about me being silly I advise you to consider the entire incident. That included Thiego being set upon by three players, and finally have one of those players thrust his head very close to Thiego’s face. Considering the whole do you honestly think the incident was fairly dealt with. Honestly!

Exactly this. Isn’t it meant to be the referees job to keep 22 men on the pitch unless he absoluely can’t ? Not be some centre of attention because his f*cking ego needs stroking. He set the tone with a booking for the first foul of the game.

 

[Lush55]

Just keep lobbing it to see if forwards catch it
...........fekin pass it on the floor.....Hull..crap,Sunderland crap....Liverpool not bad......today absolutely double crap....out of here

 

[mhead bee]

Let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter what anyone shouts, that red card was soft as sh*te. It’s the way our season is going, we get nothing, absolutely nothing, and rather than playing the game we are getting frustrated, reacting and bang, we get the punishment. The level of cheating and the way they are allowed to get away with it, the refs largely complicit, it’s quite unwatchable at times

 

[HerefordB]

After several years of careful consideration, I believe the Premier League is full of gobbing, overpaid babies who roll around mortally wounded at the slightest brush and is refereed by incompetents with rather large egos.
I also think the "entertainment" on offer is not worth the SKY subscription...

Did you not think it was a booking?
He pulled him back then stood on his achilies.

Give me Championship ....Prem is sh1te

 

[cliffbee]

I expected to lose, I don't think that's defeatist, just reflects that Brighton are an excellent side. Having two soft but big decisions go against us is very galling, but I honestly don't think that decided the game. I couldn't see clearly what happened for the pen but I see that it was KLP penalised. When is he going to learn that you can't just wrestle the opponent when defending a corner?

Do you reckon there was a PGMOL board meeting at the start of August where everyone agreed "let's gun for Brentford so that we can rile up the GPG, just for fun?"

 

[TW1Bee]

Probably because it takes about an hour and a half to get a train.

F**ck me it's a 2.00pm ko on a Sunday enjoy the day out not as if it's an 8.00pm on a Monday night

 

[Yiggy]

We restricted a team who are on fire to 2. A wondergoal and a soft penalty.

It was tough and wasn’t pretty but that was a solid defensive display and we did well to keep the scoreline respectable.

 

[TadB]

Which is what Oliver originally did, it was VAR that intervened

The Referee does not have to accept VAR

 

[mhead bee]

Probably because it takes about an hour and a half to get a train.

Yeah, I am sick of us losing games through soft red cards and being played like a fiddle by sh*thousing cheats and the incompetence of ref and var, and I take no moral victory in how many of the oppo fans stay behind to clap. I literally couldn’t care less

 

[Owlsmoor_Bee]

Did you not think it was a booking?
He pulled him back then stood on his achilies.

It’s the first foul and the foot on the Achilles was completely inadvertent. What’s the issue with telling him that’s his one chance ?

I’ve said elsewhere that the officiating masked what I thought was a poor team selection but I won’t be persuaded that Oliver’s performance in the first 45 wasn’t miles below the standard we should be entitled to expect.

 

[VML87]

Give me Championship ....Prem is sh1te

Imagine losing to Birmingham from a header from outside the box again

 

[ppobee]

A red for both may have been the honest decision.

A yellow for both was quite sensible referreeing. Can see why Thiago was sent off, hand ended up in the guy's face, but he was aggressive too.

 

[Gee Bee]

The Referee does not have to accept VAR

Obviously not but if he’s shown the stills I’ve seen then it a clear red. Thiago didnt need to get VAR involved he’d won the foul.
