Just remembered … the West Ham supporters made about 5 or 6 ‘strong’ penalty claims. Jokers.
The ref also told their players to get up after one or two simulations.

Can he play at Left Back?
Great thread @Guinness Boy completely agree.
I have not seen the Adingra disallowed goal anywhere, but I am guessing VAR got that one right ?

That lino also managed to miss the ball going out of play as he was too busy messing around with one of the spare balls that wasn't on the stand and wasn't watching play despite it being about 10 yards from him and the action taking place very close to the touchline. (he held his hand up a few times after as if to apologise and admit to his error for failing to follow the play)
He also didn't flag a clear offside which was the incident referred to above which then resulted in that scramble in the box. There was no reason why it shouldn't have been flagged immediately otherwise, i thought all 3 officials did a very good job.
And then allowed nearly every throw to be a foul throw. One the Forest player nearly back flipped his own head.
The boy and I agreed on the way back that he had a good game. Consistent with the ones he did/didn't give for both sides and let the game flow.

He wasn't our favourite last season though. Don't think he got on too well with a certain Italian in charge but, yes, it was nice NOT to have moans about the ref.
Yeah, I was watching on TV. Marginal but the right decision
I'd forgotten all about that! Welbeck may have been interfering and Weiffer was offside on the initial shot and he was first to the rebound. So - probably twice offside.

Whilst I agree and this is generally true of football supporters, I make it a point to not go in for this. Sometimes at games a ref will not give us a foul for a dive and everyone around me will be up in arms, a couple of these and suddenly the ref is having a bad game.
I thought he had an excellent game win, lose or draw - I appreciated his game management. He was in control when either side took the piss with things like throw ins, but wasn’t bothered about a few yards. Same with free kicks. Positioning was good throughout.
Had a very good game, and if we’d have lost 2-1 I’d be saying the same.

I was extremely DISAPPOINTED that there was no ref thread. Can you imagine how I felt when they won all those consecutive matches ?You'll struggle to surpass @Eeyore on this front
Agree with @Guinness Boy though. He let a lot go, which helped the game to flow. I liked how he got players to take the throw from the right place and did it quickly.

Barely noticed him and I am normally very vocal about refs at the game.

Are you drunk?
Yes exactly the point I made. Your second point, your submarine is full of eels, maybe?

Lol, I was in a car, not driving, and didn't check spelling.
A lot had one foot off the ground at throw in's.
The last game I remember he reffed for us he was abysmal, of course we lost that one...
