No pen for Brum today, shocking decision, whether it changed the game, who knows?

The officials at Reading yesterday were quite possibly the worst i've seen in 6 years of attending matches. Never again am i praising a referee before the game starts! Thankfully it didn't affect the result, but things got very heated in the 2nd half, i dread to think what would have happened if it had affected the result.
I'll mention more in the Reading thread at some stage, still can't really be bothered atm and even a day later i haven't completely calmed down, but all i'll say is that for anyone who bothered to wait until our game came on MOTD last night you've seen the main f*** ups.

Maybe I was just tired last night, but apart from the sending off, nothing really stands out in terms of refereeing decisions... Looked quite an exciting game for a 0-0.

Lol, *shakes head* the fact you thought it was an exciting game says everything about how MOTD's highlights can distort everything. I guarantee that if you'd been at the game and thought that, people would have thought you were on another planet. Even the report in the Express today said what a poor quality game it was. It may have been incident packed in terms of controversial decisions but as a spectacle it was poor. Blackburn had come for a 0-0 draw and were timewasting before half-time! MOTD basically showed all the goalscoring chances in the match, most of which were in the 2nd half. You clearly missed the occasion when 4/5 Blackburn players were offside from a free-kick and yet the linesman's flag stayed down, truly unbelievable decision. They were all in line, if anything the player who had the chance was the furthest forward. Anyway, will mention more at some point, so much was wrong yesterday all the incidents really need to be mentioned properly.

I saw Mark Hughes interview on SSN and he said the game didn't warrant anywhere near the amount of yellow cards that were handed out...
That incident was on MOTD but they never showed a replay so you couldn't really tell. I know you played that loads last season but I remember you getting it wrong once or twice so I assumed it was an ok decision as they never said anything about it.

There was a replay on MOTD2, and it clearly showed four (!) Blackburn players offside. That's almost the most players I remember being offside at once (I think France had five players caught offside while they were losing to Senegal in WC2002).
There was a penalty shout for Boro against Chelsea, but the replay showed that Carvalo didn't handle it.
So overall, no unfairly gained/lost points this week?

That incident was on MOTD but they never showed a replay so you couldn't really tell. I know you played that loads last season but I remember you getting it wrong once or twice so I assumed it was an ok decision as they never said anything about it. No, the game definitely didn't warrant that number of cards. As Murty said on Radio Berkshire this morning, not really a bad tackle in the game but yet 9 bookings including a red card, completely baffling. Yet wasn't the main problem though, it was Clattenburg's consistency. He booked 2 players in the 1st half, Nelson for Blackburn for stopping Hahnemann from throwing the ball out, and Hahnemann for getting involved in the handbags afterwards, and 7 in the 2nd half. There was no difference between the 1st half and 2nd half, and someone actually suggested that someone had got to Clattenburg at half-time. Nelson yanked Doyle to the ground when he would have been away. How that isn't a yellow card i'll never know. With his block on Hahnemann later in the half he should have gone. In the 2nd half Warnock (i think) barged Doyle near the byeline when he was about to break into the box. With Marek being shown a 2nd yellow for just having being in the way (Roberts ran into him) he should have gone as well. As for the offside, i'm not sure why MOTD didn't show a replay, or at the very least mention it afterwards, though as frag says it was shown on MOTD2. We may have got it wrong in the past, in fact quite a few times this season i think, but its only ever been 1 or 2 players, and they have been onside. There haven't been 4 in a bloody straight line, all of them way offside! I honestly haven't seen a worse offside decision this season. Seriously I could have done a better job, and i'm no linesman! I was hoping to catch The Last Word with Andy Gray as i'm sure he would have mentioned it, but sadly i missed it.

Ronaldo (now what does the C stand for?) that they had no time to say anything other than "so, team X won" "yup" for most of the rest of the games. Pillocks.

Yet another two points denied us by the referee today, clear penalty not given. If the refs weren't so biased against us, we'd be 2 points ahead of United at the top, with Chelsea 5 further points back.

There's no guarentee you'd have scored the penalty...

no they're not biased against you they're just biased towards Liverpool Birmingham away? outrageously bad refereeing Middlesbrough at home? outrageously bad refereeing Chelsea away? their equaliser was offside Liverpool at home (CL + PL) - two stonewall penalties turned down. Look at Adebayor's penalty record. We'd have scored it.

If anything I heard the Arse goal may have been dubious, but I'll comment more when I see it? Ronaldo had to take the pen twice didn't he? And didn't he have a staggered run up, are they allowed again?
