Referee at Orient

Trying to break it up.
Safer to push in the chest or shoulder than the face in terms of likely card colour, but in truth out of character for Clayton, and who cares - we got 3 points, Orient 0, and Wolves drop 2...... Hope I'm not going to wake up shortly and find it has all been a dream, with KO 4 hours away!
 

Referee at Orient

I didn't even think Judge's tackle was a foul. :shrug:

It wasn't
Clayton wrongly lost it but he was given nothing all afternoon and was frustrated. Great seeing us prepared to stand toe to toe with Mac, TC, Dougie, Jake and Clayton all happy to mix it, we've been far too nice and lightweight in recent years.
 

Referee at Orient

The ref was shocking but so was his assistant , how many times did he use him when needed ? The stonewall Saville penalty was a prime example .A very poor show from the officials today .

I expect the c*** of a ref said leave those type of decisions to him prior to game as some do hence why they were incompetent. It was on telly and HE wanted the limelight.......

We have some very hard men in this side now, and several leaders too. Bearing in mind some of them are still not much more than kids, they sure know how to mix it. :D
 

Referee at Orient

I turned to my nipper after about 25 minutes and said that I didn't think the ref had given us one decision so far.......and the ref got even worse after that. I've been to games where a ref has made one or two poor decisions against us but I don't think I have been at a game where so many decisions have gone against us. You know he was bad when we win and a whole thread is still dedicated just to the ref.

Spot on mate.

Even when he played an advantage when Douglas was fouled it was Donaldson against 4 plus the keeper just over the halfway line

Yes, strangest 'advantage' ever! Don't usually criticise refs, it's a very difficult job, but the ref v Wolves was truly atrocious and, I thought, couldn't ever be worsened - but he truly has been by this clown.
 

Referee at Orient

How we didn't get a penalty for the foul on Saville is a totaly mystery, looking at the replay, just unbelievable. I'm so glad we got three points from this disgraceful display from the ref!!
!!
 

Referee at Orient

when you hear the constant singing from the fans " can we have a referee" something is wrong. His performance needs to be investigated. Greg Dyke was at the match, sort it out Greg Our manager has a lot more to moan about then Slade.
 

Referee at Orient

Must speak to Sam Sodje about that ref.:)

It does cross your mind doesn't it. I was swearing at the tv all morning, absolute disgrace. The foul on CD was appalling particularly after all the soft kicks he gave to them throughout the game. The second yellow/red was his only correct decision, the first yellow was fairly innocuous tbo. The penalty was another shocker, the kick out at Mac, then the stamp where they all got excited...truly truly abysmal. The only surprise was when he didnt give them a late penalty when Batt collapsed in the penalty area for no apparent reason.
 

Referee at Orient

In normal circumstances, we would stop moaning about a referee after a win. However, we won, but are still angry about his performance says a lot about it. I would go far as to call him a cheat, or from a parallel universe.
 

Referee at Orient

Utter disgrace. Gregg should instigate an investigation!

Need to watch that again as my first impression was that it was a stamp but none of the commentators mentioned it and the replays they showed of the incident were either at wrong angle or were from after the 'stamp'

Surprised no more was mentioned about Cox's push and kick at McC either.

Having said that, Tark has to go (no real complaints about either yellow), Clayton could be case of 'sensible' refereeing. It's obvious he's going in there to split things up but you can't be sticking your hands in others faces. He would have been given a straight red by many refs. Judge I thought wins the ball fairly but hard. The balls in the air so it's there for both to go for. Again, pundits saying it could be straight red so tough for the ref in that instance.

What got me most was the niggly fouls that we were getting punished for whereas they weren't. As someone else mentioned, the Donaldson incident going unpunished immediately followed by the breakaway when Lisbie trips over Dean being the stand-out example.

Think he might be worse than D'urso , bottled it in front of the cameras and i wouldn't be surprised if hes referring woking next week
 

Referee at Orient

He got the sending off right. That was about it. After we didn't get the penalty he seemed to give a bit more to us.

What made it worse was Don Goodman stating that he didn't really see anything wrong with his performance!!!

. I was swearing at the tv all morning, absolute disgrace..

Really? What had it done? Not HD or enough scarts maybe? Maybe it was one of those cheap supermarket plasmas? Shockingly cheap with picture quality to match . You should of watched the afternoon game on another one possibly?

I do believe our friend is on holiday/business trip... USA I believe... So morning would be correct...

his brother referee the Wolves this afternoon..
 

Referee at Orient

I don't normally get over wound up by poor ref's, but this guy was totally incompetent and more than a tad bias in Orient's favour. As the game was on live television, hopefully the powers that be will take action and punish him for his disgraceful performance.
 

Referee at Orient

I noticed him pointing to his watch several times because he thought we were time wasting, so I was convinced he was going to put about 7 minutes injury time up, so I was quite happy with 5. He was a total clown though, who favoured Orient alarmingly.
 

Referee at Orient

I'm not one to criticise Refs generally, but I thought today's "specimen" was very poor.

I hope he got back to his village safely, because they must be missing their idiot.
 

Referee at Orient

The worst ever example of incompetent, biased, illogical, frightened, inconsistent, bemusing "refereeing" I have ever witnessed in 36 years of supporting Brentford. I was in line with Saville when he was clattered in the box. Minutes later, a similar challenge on Saville was deemed a foul. Thus ref needs to be demoted to Sunday league on Hackney Marshes - actually that is a disservice to all Sunday league players.

I was surprised it were only 2 minutes in the first half... And I said for about 20 mins towards end it'll be 5 minutes. Knew the incompetent referee would add it and surprised he didn't try and score for them himself.
 

Referee at Orient

It felt like he was actually cheating especially when he refused to give any decisions against the two centre backs until late second half

That so often is the case. At one point we tried to take a quick free kick and their player booted the ball out of jakes hands towards the corner flag. The ref decides a laugh and a joke with their player is sufficient and no yellow shown. The commentary team say it is "sensible" refereeing..... no it isn't, it is incompetent and rule ignoring refereeing.

Omosuzu kicked the ball away and the ref reached for his pocket and changed his mind.
He also failed to book that French c*ck Roman whingalot for causing the mini brawl. More I recall the worse his dire performsnce
 

Referee at Orient

This ref's performance bordered on the farcical at times. I hope Orient fans could see it.
 

Referee at Orient

Haven't got a clue where that buffoon got 5 mins from?! 4 subs in total @30 secs each = 2 mins. So where did the other 3 come from? I reckon he was desperate for Orient to score.
 

Referee at Orient

Seen plenty of refs over the years and this one is up there with the worst you could wish to see.Not as bad as the fat c*** in 1998, but not far off.

6 yellows 1 red and was it a dirty game?

5 minutes of added time and not one injury on the pitch.Where did that come from???
 

Referee at Orient

If I performed that poorly at work I would be on a disciplinary. Surely his performance will be assessed and dealt with accordingly?
 

Referee at Orient

We won a great game and are still outraged by the ref. Sums up how terrible he was.
 

Referee at Orient

He was an embarrassment to English football today.
 

Referee at Orient

classic example of using the footage to make sure the knob doesn't ref another league game, harsh maybe but why should he be allowed to cost clubs points with poor irrational decisions ??
 

Referee at Orient

5 minutes at the end was a joke, there wasn't a trainer on the pitch throughout the whole match. Clueless tw4t.
 

Referee at Orient

Weve had some real bad refs at orient in the past - mr Shapter was just as bad as todays ref when we won 1-0 holdsworth 90's and then a few years ago we got turned over by that clown who bowed at us along with wendy toms running the line. They just ones who spring to mind. The fa will comsider this plonker played a blinder no doubt about it and will be reffing a prem game next week.

Blind-er is one way to describe the performance...
 

Referee at Orient

No sponges because players were not sure they would get a decision in their favour.
 

Referee at Orient

I have to say after watching the game back on TV, he was no where near as bad as I thought. The Saville foul was a pen and he did get one or two others wrong, but when I was at the game it felt like he was making a terrible decision every 30 seconds! Also Judges foul towards the end was a bit naughty.
 

Referee at Orient

A lot of their lot not happy with the ref and our 'physical' style either.......
Reckon we should have been down to 9, if not 8, by the end........

..............were some if these psters at the game??????...........dirtiest team they have seen and a quiet Bees following................oh dear..............
 

Referee at Orient

Oh and Clayton should have been off for a raised hand. I disagree with that rule, but 9 times out of 10 if the ref sees that he's off.
