Has there been a rule change? Are you now allowed to slap the keeper on the head at corners? The Ref did really well there, overruling the linesman who had got it right in the first place.
Some of these refs really do believe they are as important as the players and we've all paid to watch them as well. The numpty at the Valley yesterday seemed to enjoy the attention he got from some of his decisions.
Unbelievable penalty decision still the ref probably feels better having evened it up. The game so needs 3 cricket type referral appeals IMO which would add to the suspense as the decisionometer spins round to the 4th officials decision.
I thought the replay being shown of Carroll 's assault on Mignolet on the big screen in the background was funny
A bit disappointed the ref didn't complete his hat rice of spouse pens when that last one bounced up and hit the defenders hand .... Suarez was convinced lol
I know this has been debated on another thread but surely use of technology is the answer. I don't really blame the ref. He is only human and only gets one line of vision. The ref had to guess whether the lino was right for West Ham's goal. I don't understand the reluctance to use TV replays. It would also stop diving which irritates more than anything else in a game. Monday morning rant over
Ref must of been on the sauce last night. Bet he has been on the blue after shocks, one after the other bam bam bam,. Impaired his judgement you see. Everyone knows you shouldn't drink and referee. Mistakes happen

Ref was dreadful today.
BTW What went on with the West Ham goal - usually goalies get all the protection going and the linesman got is right so what was said..
