Those officials

[Oh When the Wolves]

Should never be involved in any wolves game in any capacity ever again.

Simply outrageous some of those decisions

 

[NorthWestWolf]

Disgusting. How can you justify a yellow card for that.

 

[girl who cried wolves]

going to contact those at oxford english dictionary because the definition of "friend" has been corrupted

 

[Chris H]

If West Ham get done over on Sunday I’ll finally believe there more to this than incompetence.

 

[Rufio]

****ing disgrace

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

It’s simply cheating

Jimenez pulled out the tackle. So they haven’t seen Jimenez make a tackle. Yet they’ve given a yellow?

Even if he does touch him it’s not intentional at all and would mean any foul anywhere on the pitch would be a yellow card .

 

[NorthWestWolf]

Always believed they're just incompetent, there's 100% more at play here.

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

Yes it was a stupid challenge but he legitimately went for the ball. Too many refs want to be the centre of attention

 

[old wittonian]

Disgusting. How can you justify a yellow card for that.

Raul actually slowed down as he approached the goalkeeper.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

You’ve also got the elbow on saiss which is a red , the forshaw tackle through the back of podence which is a yellow minimum, possibly a red .

He didn’t even play the 8 minutes added time. And the decision at the end summed it up

I hope every player does an interview and takes the fine

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Always believed they're just incompetent, there's 100% more at play here.

I think it's just ludicrous incompetence.

The linesman was atrocious all night. The free kick for our goal was a nonsense too

 

[DasWolf]

Friend was awful. But nothing will happen.

No accountability, ever.

 

[greco wolf]

Was ****. But we shouldn’t have lost

 

[waveney wolf]

Always believed they're just incompetent, there's 100% more at play here.

He didn't pull out, he left his studs in on the keeper. Jimenez didn't complain much did he. Don't blame the ref

 

[Jawwfc]

Nuno criticising Lee Mason got him fined, eventually the league realised Lee Mason was incompetant and demoted him.... he has wormed his way back in though. Way to much of an old boys club.

I'd be pleased never to hear spitty caragher again after tonight, didn't once mention the sending off and was only concerned about leeds.

 

[WISAW]

Just shocking. He took his card our straight away, just itching to give it. I despair. Kevin friend is a complete ****.
Sometimes there can be an incident and no one's at fault. **** me. I'm not even shocked at the incompetence. I hope to god leeds go down.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

He didn't pull out, he left his studs in on the keeper. Jimenez didn't complain much did he. Don't blame the ref

Funny that everyone who watched the reply disagrees. Comms initially through the Raul in trouble then watched the replays and changed their mind.

 

[Cookyssweetleftfoot]

He didn't pull out, he left his studs in on the keeper. Jimenez didn't complain much did he. Don't blame the ref

Left his studs on the keeper? What on earth have you seen?

 

[JR WAS KING]

He didn't pull out, he left his studs in on the keeper. Jimenez didn't complain much did he. Don't blame the ref

Utter *******s

 

[wayne-the-wanderer]

Left his studs on the keeper? What on earth have you seen?

Not this game - needs to go to specsavers

 

[JadeWolf]

Should never referee another game again, nevermind a Wolves one, he’s a cheat, pure and simple. Corruption.

 

[worc_wolf]

He didn't pull out, he left his studs in on the keeper. Jimenez didn't complain much did he. Don't blame the ref

****ing idiot

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

How are you meant to play the game if you’re afraid to go in for a 50-50 ball? Someone said VAR doesn’t get involved in second yellows? So a straight red yes but a second yellow that amounts to the same thing a red ****ing card and no? I ****ing despair with the way the game is going what with those posthumous off side flags VAR and refs who are never made accountable the game stinks

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Cast your mind back to Crystal Palace vs Liverpool - The day after Manchester City had FINALLY dropped some points and there was a glimmer of a title race still on. The penalty given to Liverpool that day is one of the clearest examples of corrupt officiating I've witnessed in the English game.

The official that day? - Kevin Friend. He should have faced investigation then. An absolute disgrace. I can get over losing, but we were well and truly cheated tonight. And no that doesn't excuse some of the defending, but we were.

 

[Stratman Wolves]

How do other clubs overcome **** refs and their decisions but we seemingly can't? I'm tired of just doing this. Surely part of this game now unfortunately is being able to adapt in light of cruel decisions and VAR.

 

[oldgold4ever]

Raul actually slowed down as he approached the goalkeeper.

Can you imagine the pelters any Wolves player would take not going for that ball? I feel for Raul tonight.

 

[sillytuna]

Until I saw the video I was so angry with Jimenez. But having seen it - WTF? Not a card in a million years.

 

[Manic88]

Why as a crowd are we so happy to welcome these awful officials?

Should have been booed enough in the first half, should have been terrified in the second…but no pussy Wolves welcome the bias/incompetence with open arms. No wonder they don’t mind doing it.

Think var was broken tonight

[Oh When the Wolves]

The craziest thing about it?

If he gives meslier a red - he can look at the screen and review his decision

What a ****ing joke.

Game changing moment with two injured players and he can’t check his decision on the screen.

Mad .

Get mike Riley out of this game

 

[maws]

Anyone who thinks that’s a yellow is a complete ****. I mean it, you’re a *****, bell end, ****, **** wit, **** hole, thick as **** ****

It’s not a yellow easy as abc.

Go on someone be an awkward I need to be different **** and say it is!!!

Of all the shot decisions we’ve had that’s the worst ever

Jesus

That’s horrednous by the keeper. Could have broken Jimenez knee

It’s actually that bad of a decision I’m past feeling angry. Bemused probably more appropriate.

Worst thing is, that’s not even the most laughable decision tonight. At 2-2 one of their blokes was, genuinely, about 25 yards offside, yet the useless linesman decided to play on. What for exactly? What the actual **** for.

 

[bod101]

Pulling Moutinho over and wrestling him.

Chiquinho being pulled over in front of him then giving a free kick the other way.

The early-ish challenge on neves that he eventually went off injured from.

Numerous late challenges in the first half, certainly as late or later in a similar area to what boly got booked for.

The linesman missing two clear deflections and giving a throw the wrong way.

I won't mention the late flags, oh actually I will as I know there is a directive but oddly when podence went through offside, flag straight up. Not the case for others. More players will get injured due to his nonsense.

 

[Wolfman jack]

And as for the delayed offside flags - makes me spitting mad!

It’s just a joke.

A game where you should win 2/3/4 0 and we have lost due to insane decisions by officials first and foremost

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Messaged by a Liverpool fan watching on TV (I’m yet to see it as still traveling home), as a neutral he said it’s never a red in a million years.

Have to ask questions why we’re allowed such an openly Villa supporting ref to officiate our games. Can you imagine a well known Evertonian reffing a Liverpool game?!

PL standards are beyond a joke.

 

[old wittonian]

The average age of a EPL referee is 43. Kevin Friend is 50.
You have extremely fit young men being referred by many old enough to be their grandfather.
The VAR is adjudicated by their mates. Say no more.

Added to that their former colleagues in the MSM support their ridiculous decisions. The worst decision on a football field was made by the EPL clown who gave a player 3 yellow cards in a World cup game

It's ridiculous but no one seems to care about it.

By contrast the average age of a Bundesleag referee is a little over 34 I understand. Says it all really.

Beyond words. Worth turning the swear filter off for the evening
