I'm not up for this. It wasn't a nasty, bad tempered game and Bristol weren't messing us about at all.

This sort of thing could work against us even with refs.

Give the ball back Wolves, play the game.

The one near the end their player had crossed the ball straight to Ruddy as the ref blew up to halt the game. Can't remember the situation completely when we stuck it out for a throw in

I'd agree if they were in possession but not in that instance, presuming it was near the end of the game. Why the hell would we give the ball back? We had possession when the ref blew up.

The exact same scenario happened in reverse earlier in the game and they played it back to our keeper.

There was also another shortly after when Neves just tapped it out for a throw in a bad position for them rather than back to the keeper.

The Bristol coach has mentioned this in his post match interview.

We're a team that wants to get the ball down and play yet doing things like this winds up the other team and they start flying in and the game can become needled.

I'm not bothered if everyone in football doesn't give the ball back. I'd like to see drop balls again too. But if that's the way it is then I'd rather we don't try and make an advantage of it..... Its just not cricket*

It was Doherty that put it out for a throw. Close to half way line, rather than near the corner flag.

Moaning for the sake of moaning

We had possession!!
Why give it back? That would have been stupid and ridiculous and not even expected by the opponents. We had possession. The ref blew to stop. The game proceeded, we kept possession.

Brentford didnt give it back to us either when Boly kicked it out so Bright could receive treatment suppose the rule to give it back is starting to be questioned.

What the hell are you on about? Our opponents did NOT give away possession and therefore we should have given it back to be fair. If we had given it back it would have been UNfair to our team.

Chavs!!
Seriously? As if you know what kind of people we all are.
Since I don't think you're addressing me directly, I cannot really take exception to that, but I do know that like me, there are a lot of highly educated and civil people who appreciate the finer subtleties of life, on this forum. There are also quite a few gentlemen who have always been very erudite and thoughtful.
And then there's a few who do not suffer a fool gladly.
Chavs indeed, sir.

It was definitely in Ruddy's hands, so no issue for me.

What a strange thread.

We had possession of the ball - why the hell would we then give it back to Bristol?

For too many years we have been giving the ball to the opposition when we have possession. Such a breath of fresh air to discover that we can now actually keep possession :rolleyes:

Would like to see it again, but my first impression was that the ref should have instructed them to pass it back to us. That was why Docherty appeared angry and just booted it into touch.

Erm, so Ruddy should've booted the ball all the way back to there keeper? The ball floated into his arms.
The other occasion that I think the OP is referring to is moments after we should've had a blatant penalty.

Was that when Bailey Wright was clattered into by your player after winning the header?

Watch it frame by frame. It was very quick, hence my frame captures. See my link... the arm is out, split second later ... just 2 frames actually... he hits with the same extended arm.. actually elbow.

I don't see it like that at all mate tbh. Danny was ball watching and didn't anticipate the challenge. Bailey did but still didn't lead with an arm - if he had done then Danny would have a broken jaw.

If you frame the clip a split second later Baileys arm is back by his side as that's how you use your arms to jump

I'm undecided on the penalty tbh. Just ****es me off knowing for a fact that the same challenge anywhere else on the pitch is an immediate free kick.

It's the inconsistency I can't stand.

I didn't like Bristol's approach last night, but in fairness I think on one occasion we were wrong last night.

The last one where we kept it was fine. The ball was crossed straight into Ruddys hands so it was ours.

The other instance with Batth and their defender is the one for me. I think we should have sent the ball to their goalie. From what I remember they did have the ball so we should have just played it back to the goalie rather than putting it out for a throw. To be honest I was watching the players down injured so maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I thought happened.

Erm, Nah mate, it was when your player charged into our player in the box where anywhere else on the pitch it would've been a free kick.
Enjoy your point

I agree with the OP, not at all a Corinthian thing to do. I also deplore the common practise of goalkeepers who try to save penalties rather than standing aside.

Watch it back and you'll see he didn't charge into him, it was a 50/50 header which Bailey won, if it had been in your penalty area you'd be saying the same thing

I remember Naylor at Notlob giving the ball back for a throw and the cheating *******s took it quick with him then out of position and scored.

As was previously said, that challenge anywhere else on the pitch the ref blows for a foul 99/100, regardless of whether he won the header or the ball or whatever, he went through Batth to get it and that is a foul.
I'll give you it wasn't the GBH that some are claiming, but it was a foul, it was in the penalty area and therefore should've been a penalty.

To be fair to the ref, he didn't give a foul when one of your players went through the back of Jota, so in that sense, at least he was consistent!
