His last game for us was the Doncaster one...
Not scared to give a penalty for us then. Wish he hadn't though. Hasn't he been demoted from the Prem?

He awarded the soft pen for Leicester at Watford in the same season when it was missed and Watford went down the other end and scored. Just after our Doncaster moment![]()
2 soft pens within 2 weeks then......looks like he enjoys making a name for himself......reckon we'll get one on Saturday.....![]()
............who will take it????............
...........and again Big Club Syndrome ...........never a free kick for the first goal ........was it a penalty.........????.......... It's becoming tedious..............

To be fair, he spotted the thuggish Jota breathing on the giant Zouma .....
The assistant on our side of pitch.
Why did he not flag the attacker for chasing the keeper down for offside in which Bentley kicked the ball out for a throw in. He forced our keeper to play the ball.
Also, after their penalty we had a free kick right on the edge.. Was it inside?
The ref gave so much in their favour it was a joke. No wonder our guys backed out of 50/50s.

the free kick for the first was a joke decision ?
David Coote for the Villa game. Had a shocker last time here for the Burton game. Remember the long applause and cheers when he finally gave us a free kick in injury time. No doubt he'll remember that and give Villa everything in retribution![]()
It was a pivotal moment in the game as once one nil down we had a mountain to climb and you could see the heads go down afterwards.
I saw nothing wrong with what Vibe did their player just seemed to turn into him, bounce off him and go down like he had been shot. Usual antics and of course Oliver felt compelled to give it, later on the game he was less willing to give them free kicks with Willian in particular playing for them but it was too late by then.
This from The Scottish Sun.
Was the referee (a Mr Tony Fullarton) right to send the goalie off?
LEAKY DEFENCE
Shettleston goalkeeper in Scotland sent off for having a wee behind the goal during a game
West of Scotland Super League side Shotts Bon Accord's official Twitter account sent out the message during their clash with Shettleston
SHETTLESTON manager John Fallon Jr was left stunned after his goalkeeper was sent off for PEEING behind the goals against Shotts Bon Accord.
Garry Whyte was dismissed after 72 minutes of their 1-0 West of Scotland Super League win over The Bonny.
The Town keeper pleaded with officials to let him go to the toilet but was told play wouldn’t be stopped, so he relieved himself behind the goals.
Shettleston manager John Fallon Jr told The Scottish Sun: “He was ready to take his by kick and he shouted over to the linesman that he needed the toilet.
“The linesman said to him, ‘We can’t stop play’.
“Before he took his goal kick, he ran behind the goals and went up to the wall to do a pee. Then he came back on and the referee has sent him off.
“We’ve got no idea why – we’re still trying to find out.
“I think he’s trying to put it under foul and abusive language".
“There’s nothing about it in the rule book so we’re all a bit confused".
Personally I think it should have been yellow. :thetruth:
Just want to have a ref that isnt noticed. ie has a good game.
Thought he was OK tonight, bit pissed off that Lansbury got away with two blatant cynical fouls on Harlee but he couldn't wait to book nico for a run of the mill tackle. Other than that he did a lot right including playing advantage then pulling it back if the advantage came to nothing.
In my opinion he and the linesmen got a lot wrong tonight in our favour. Mainly small things like throw-ins.
After his performance in the Burton game perhaps he felt he owed us something.
I thought, other than lansbury having something on him to avoid being booked time and again, that he had a positive game.
As for throw ins etc, it is very easy to blame an official but unless he is 100% certain he will go with what he believes is correct. If he believes that the ball didn't take a nick or a touch from an opponent before it crosses the line then he will go that way. It happens..
Reading away tomorrow and it is our old friend Keith Stroud in charge...![]()

He was fine last time out. But with him you just never know.
.............how did the idiots on Saturday not spot Romaine being physically manhandled in the build up to their fourth goal???..........
I'm glad someone else has finally asked this question. Sparked some terse words between me and the bloke behind me, starting with him abusing Sawyers for his part in this. Practically throttled him. (Just Sawyers, unfortunately).
Well Stroud doesn't put up with crap, so they won't 'get away' with anything. The problem is he does take that too far sometimes and give penalties and reds for nothing...
Whenever you let your guard down with Stroud though and think he'll be ok is when he strikes...
Due a shocker then, after his earlier appearence with us.
