Marginal decisions

[WolfLing]

I’ve been getting frustrated for a while at the amount of marginal decisions referees and their assistants get wrong. Multiple throw-ins every game, multiple goal kick/corners.

Tonight was the worst I’ve seen for both sides.

Twice we should have had a corner from Hwang’s saved chance and Neto’s blocked chance. I lost count of how many times throw-ins were given the wrong way.

These things can have a real impact on the flow of games and building or relieving pressure.

Surely there’s a better way to do it now, rather than relying on the real-time calls of notoriously poor officials? Like a buzz from the VAR if they’ve got it wrong. It would take seconds to see a replay and press a button!

There is a better way. Get better refs.

The officials tonight were truly abysmal.

The Premier League refs are not the same standard as I have seen when we played Europe and watching international tournaments, there is way to much of an old boys club in the football league not just the top flight.

That's because those competitions have the best from across the continent, including two of our own in Taylor and Oliver. The standard isn't really all that different in serie a or la liga.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

The decision on coady today is the worst decision of the season. Absolutely no reaSon to give a foul

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Does Jimenez get his yellow rescinded ?

Absolute **** show

 

[Living at other WWFC]

And Coady through one v one

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

What minute was the coady decision?

 

[Living at other WWFC]

The decision on coady today is the worst decision of the season. Absolutely no reaSon to give a foul

I think he might have looked at the defender before he fell over.

 

[WWFC4EVA]

Another thing that makes my **** itch is the current offside rule. On at least one occasion tonight there was an Arsenal player in an offside position but the linesman failed to flag. If they'd scored from the attack then VAR would've undoubtedly ruled it out but as they didn't, Arsenal then profited by means of a corner. Had they scored from this corner the goal would've stood! How can that be right?!!!

Yep. The thing is they ARE interfering by being there . It’s ****ing ludicrous

 

[woop woop barmy army]

fine margins, on other day we got that second goal and were laughing,

We have so loved to have have seen us celebrate the way Arsenal did at the end, but hey ho. Its only 3 points plenty more to win.

 

[TheConcourse]

I’d like to see the disallowed offside goal again. Why are they including Saiss’ arm?

Unless I don’t understand the rules, I thought it was a part of the body you could score with?

You can score with your shoulder and upper part of your arm now. Changed the laws last season

The handball rule changed so the 't-shirt line' is used to determine when the arm starts, which means the top of the arm cannot be given for handball, but that also means you can now score using that part so it has to count for offsides.

Of course! Thanks.

 

[WISAW]

Atkinson is a ****, always has been and always will be. An absolutely **** poor ref that should have been dismissed long ago.

 

[WISAW]

I'm also sick of people saying 'they even out over a season' maybe they do for the so called big clubs but they simply don't for us, crap refs see to that. Swayed by the more fashionable clubs. I just can't wait for robot refs.

 

[arctic rime]

Can someone post the offside goal

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Can someone post the offside goal

It was offside, but no link.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

My wish is that they start to do something about blatant cheating. The Ben White dive when we would have been clean in on goal was sickening but just gets a shrug of the shoulders.

If he plays on its game over. I don’t care that it’s coady

Crazy that given the circumstances and area of the pitch he didn’t let it play out for VAR to make the decision. Absolutely shocking.

Maybe I’m getting old and my memory is going but wasn’t the penalty at Man City given after hitting the upper part of Moutinho’s arm?

Yep. Outrageous yet won’t get a mention .

He shouldn’t ref another wolves game

Well, it’s just job done for the league isn’t it? Doesn’t matter one jot.

 

[TheConcourse]

I’m irritated:

Spurs home - soft pen.
United home - foul on Neves.
City away - soft pen.
Arsenal away - White dive.

Why do these moments not come the other way?

7 points right there, excluding spurs

Not soft, just wrong decision s that var should have ruled out

So if the top of the arm cannot be given for handball, why were Man City awarded a penalty for Mouts ‘offence’?

Just asking.

That decision was condemned by every pundit, ex managers, ex referees and ex players at the time and rightly so. Scandalous !

 

[topcat99]

Maybe I’m getting old and my memory is going but wasn’t the penalty at Man City given after hitting the upper part of Moutinho’s arm?

No. It’s didn’t even hit his arm. The ball clearly hit Moutinho in the ribs.

That decision wasn’t just wrong. It was bent.

 

[Notsoslimshady]

The Neto one was ridiculous. And the most annoying one for me was the Ben White dive that stopped a clear path to goal.

I think in general we seem to suffer from little decisions a lot. Teams getting cheap free kcks and we are told to get up.

 

[Hazza]

I don’t understand the Ben White dive, the ref was right there

If a player commits a cynical foul outside the box that denies a goalscoring opportunity, it is a red card.

Diving is about as cynical an offence as they come.

So in theory, White should have been sent off!!

Although strictly speaking, I suppose it was the referee that denied the goalscoring opportunity by unnecessarily blowing his whistle!

It should at least be a yellow card. Add that to the cynical chop down of Raul that went unpunished in the first half and White definitely shouldn’t have been on the field.

 

[WolfLing]

This is the one I was referring to above

The elbow on Hwang.

The referee trying to kick Semedo off the pitch when he’s pulled his hamstring.

So much last night. So much.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

He shouldn’t ever be in charge of a wolves match again. We should be highlighting all these decisions as it’s outrageous

 

[JadeWolf]

At what point is enough enough? The standard of referees is absolutely dreadful. I said before the game Atkinson is one of the more experienced and respected refs in the league then he goes and does that?! When do we stop accepting shoddy, unprofessional referees and actually say something needs to be done.

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Xhaki out and out assaulting Raul trying to force him off the pitch.

Coady running on to score or square it being stopped is evidence enough that a team like Wolves will never break the top six, they just won't allow it. We saw it in plain view in our first two seasons, it's happening again.

You won't hear punditry call this out either.
