Another person deserving their own thread

Alan Wiley the referee.

 

Not one of my favourites, but I thought he had an absolute cracking game and contributed to marvellous match.

[Guest Garstonite]

Agree with that. Wasn't particularly hard, but another ref may have slowed the pace down unnecessarily.

yup,thought the same. let the game go at it's own pace, kept himself out the way for most of it,a bit surreal the officials hugging each other after the whistle, but i suppose that comes from being involved in something so spectacular.well in officials.

Thought he was too slow to get the cards out in the first 20 mins. Two West Ham players should have been booked. Other than that I thought he did well.

If he had of done that then we could have easily seen 7 or 8 bookings in what was not a dirty game. He allowed for nerves etc and the players responded to him.

Never even noticed the ref.

 

Always a good sign.

Early on their players were barging our players when we were lining up to shoot. There should have been a couple of yellows for it as it was intentional, and frankly I think tactical.

Did well, when Cisse got a cob on with the full back in the first half over the throw in a lesser ref would have been dishing out a yellow.

But if there were 7/8 yellows deserved then there should be 7/8 yellows. By not booking the West Ham players early on he was effectively penalising us. What if Konchesky or whoever had put in a bad tackle that denied us a chance on goal (without being last man) at some other point in the game for which he was only booked? We'd rightly be annoyed that he wasn't sent off.

Agreed, pissed me off early on they were commiting a few cynical fouls, Konchesky's especially was a stonewall booking even if it was straight from kick off. Overall he done alright but Konchesky should of been booked and Fletcher should of aswell.

Actually thought he gave us a few soft free kicks myself later on - not complaining like.

Ok, I may have been drunk, but didn't they also hug before the game? My Missus made a point of saying "oo-er, they're a bit friendly aren't they?" so I'm fairly sure the hugfest began before the game.

[Guest Sabre]

He gave them a couple too. Sami was given a foul against right on the edge of our area for nothing other than standing there!

Nor did I, but then again, I was leathered.
