[arctic rime]

Thomas Bramall, he did the 3 v 0 game v Everton.

Was ok for that don’t remember any major mistakes

 

[Ned]

As long as he understands the game and refs it accordingly rather than letter of the law with no consideration for the magnitude of the game.

 

[JadeWolf]

Just glad it’s not Michael Oliver!

Or pawson or gillet.
On a side note I'm getting loads of abuse on twitter for saying enjoy your cup final

 

[old wittonian]

I understand that there is no VAR for this game. TFFT.

Goes without saying

Only installed at PREMIER LEAGUE stadia

Not the first time this season I’ve been impressed with Thomas Bramall. Such an inexperienced referee to get this game and, apart from missing the Bartley one, I thought he reffed it perfectly today.

Are refs better when they are allowed to ref the match as it is? Without VAR looking over their shoulder?

 

[Ercall Wolves]

We have all criticised refs this season and quite rightly so
But today I thought the Ref was excellent, didn’t notice him in the game at all and that’s how it should be
Well done ref

 

[djmikeydickens]

Did really well tbf. Game flowed, no howlers. Maybe the refs do better without VAR...

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

There seems to be a higher threshold for cards (apart from Gomes!) in the FA Cup. Wallace on Doyle looked pretty bad as well as Bartley on Cunha, which was surely a red. Not seen any of it back, but sounded like they maybe they had a penalty shout? Overall OK though, certainly enjoyed unadulterated limbs and no waiting for some ******** to invent some lines esp. on the Cunha goal (although I guess they could have had 35 minutes!).

 

[Fenrir_]

Only thing he missed really was Bartley's elbow on Cunha, obviously though that thug was really sly with it bringing it in at the last moment. No doubt in the PL VAR would have had a good look at it before deciding it was nothing more than a coming together, wiping Bartley's yellow and giving Cunha a yellow for diving

So refreshing to play without VAR though and felt the ref handled it all pretty well

 

[JadeWolf]

Thought he handled the game well. Missed the Bartley red card but can’t really think of much else.

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

He did well. Missed a couple of things as others have said but stood up to a hostile home crowd and reffed the game as he saw it.

100%

Refs and linesman make a lot of calls right in person.

VAR , combined with ludicrous offside and handball rules have confused the hell out of them and makes them turn into a textbook which isn’t what the game is about

Bartley was proper sly with it so can see why he missed it.

Yeah, don’t think the ref has had a shocker with it, he’s just not seen how blatant and nasty it was. It happened at speed too.

One time where VAR would have come in handy

Best ref by far for any of our matches this season. Missed the Bartley assault, but otherwise very good today.

Agree with your sentiments re VAR.

 

[WW1963]

He instantly turned down their penalty appeal, though even the Wolves co commentator on WM said it looked like a penalty. All were surprised that it wasn't given.

I saw it later on YouTube and thought it was a penalty until seeing a crucial angle that showed the West Brom player tripped over his own clown shoes and then kicked Kilman in the calf.

Bartley could have got a red and probably would have done if VAR was operating.

Then again.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Bartley was proper sly with it so can see why he missed it.

Did you think so? From our angle it was absolutely blatant. I mean if it had been a trip it would have been a yellow in the situation, so a brutal elbow to the throat makes it a red for me! MOTD didn't bother with it though, and cut off the end of Gary's interview when he praised the behaviour of our fans.

I mean if this is sly, I'd hate to see crude!

Jeez that should have been a straight red

That has to be a red card for violent conduct. Words fail me at how dreadful our refereeing has become!!

 

[optimuswolf]

Was cunha onside? It looked tight but with didn't see a replay.

Bartley was lucky, with VAR thats surely a red.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Don't think Cunha was off. Bartley was a red in the PL all day long, although it was against us, so probably not. Never a penalty, even in the opinion of Lee Dixon, who provided the comment on the Tele. The reffing was by and large spot on and such a relief not having VAR.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Was their not a rule that there could be retrospective action taken if the ref missed it?

 

[Tarcisio Mifsud]

May we have this official in all our remaining matches for this season.

 

[Saltyjim]

He didn't miss it though, he waved play on and then came back showed a yellow card. Kills me that you have decisions like the recent Calvert-Lewin red card (albeit rescinded) where the talk is "out of control and endangering an opponent" because the studs are shown, but surely a challenge like this and the recent Coufal one on JRB are much more dangerous. pretty sure this would have been a red in Rugby Union because of the contact to the head area.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Ref did well apart from the assault on Cunha again!!

 

[derbyrameater]

Had a good game

First time I've seen that second angle. Should have got a straight red and banned for ten games for violent conduct.

Brutal and done with intent.

Yes totally agree as a grassroots reff if That happens in any of my games straight red no worries he even had a little look before his elbow made contact. that's why Dawson got involved he knew that was a bad one pro's know when one of there own does a nasty foul .anyway JONZY 54 that was for you my good mate you had a front row seat Sunday I no you enjoyed it just fancy us for a semi final. X

 

[NJ Wolves]

Totally fine with the missed red if it means some **** in a windowless room doesn't watch the penalty appeal in super slow motion, draws lines for the Cunha goal, etc.

Very good ref. Again.
