Blackpool v Portsmouth Official Matchday Thread 09.03.24

[hertfordseasider]

Terrible refereeing, foul on Beesley simple as that

 

[MeanLeanTangerineMachine]

Should be fired for decisions like that.. completely ruining games.. absolutely no excuse

 

[premactopool]

Alan Mcinally saying yellow at most

 

[bill40]

What a save that was by Grimmy.

 

[bill40]

what for exactly

Violent behaviour apparently.

 

[TangerineArmy]

How was that a red card... shocking decision

 

[tarantula]

Typical where's Connolly when you need him, I can't understand the issue some have with him.

You are joking - right?

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Ridiculous

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Oxford 1 Cheltenham 0

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

Defender got Rhodes sent off

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

No wonder Portsmouth are top of the league if the referee's are doing all they can to help them win.

 

[hertfordseasider]

That will be rescinded, Ref should be hauled before the authorities for that, worst decision I have seen in years. What a **!

 

[bill40]

You are joking - right?

No the jokers are the ones constantly slagging off their own players.

 

[MeanLeanTangerineMachine]

Ref thought he swung an elbow ... He didnt arm was in the air didn't make contact with the Pompey player more jumped into him... Not even close to a yellow

Not to mention Beasley was strangled beforehand.

Worst decision of the season

 

[April13th1970]

How was that a red card... shocking decision

Ref's from Preston !!

 

[hampshire_exile]

Would you believe the ref is also the FA’s referee manager. Based at Myerscough per the internet

 

[Vince McLean]

A foul at most - looked like nothing, and the ref has let everything go before then

 

[Sven]

Absolute joke of a decision, ruined a good contest.

Everyone needs to get on the back of this ** of a ref.

 

[hertfordseasider]

He's a replacement ref, obviously wanted to be in the limelight.

 

[Hazi]

I’d take Casey back off and bring Joseph on 2nd half play 4 at the back

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

It'll be interesting to see how Critchley deals with this, 10 men for a full 45 plus added against the league leaders, big call now to try and win this.

 

[hertfordseasider]

A foul at most - looked like nothing, and the ref has let everything go before then

It was a foul on Beesley, it should never have even got to that and then it was nothing anyway and the defender play acted. I hope we stuff them with 10 second half.

 

[tangerinespud]

Tactic second half go down if you’ve been shot for every foul

 

[Mark_GT]

It's not just that decision. This ref has given us fxxk all the whole half. One foul after another unpunished. Brilliant atmosphere here and this cock has made it all about him.

 

[Costero Poderoso]

Bees was in a headlock, nothing given, Rhodes turns and is tripped by the the defender who starts play acting, Rhodes gets sent off. one of teh most ridiculous decisions ive ever seen. Whats the betting that the EFL come down on the side of the ref. Up until then we were in control, though not much goalmouth action.

 

[no9]

Ref's from Preston !!

No can’t be surely

 

[poolfc]

Had a feeling seeing the team news actually looking like strongest 11 might be too good to be true. Jim Husband off and Rhodes sees red.

Long second half now where it feels like Portsmouth are going to get their own back for the game at their gaff but this is why they are where they are.

Best hope is trying to even up the numbers but we're too nice for that.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Why did Norburn, when he won the toss have us attack the North first half? Seems a really strange decision. Is it to do with the sun in the keepers eyeliner?

 

[Lost Seasider]

Well that's getting rescinded

You must be new here, BFC don't get red cards rescinded.

 

[tangerinespud]

Foul on Beesley not seen but sees violent conduct.

 

[CazPool]

Ref's been allowing fouls all over the show. I said after 5 minutes that someone would be off injured in the first half hour. Terrible refereeing. If it was any other job, he'd be on a performance improvement plan with a view to being fired after that half. Worst decision-making I've witnessed this season.

 

[Albert Ross]

That will be rescinded, Ref should be hauled before the authorities for that, worst decision I have seen in years. What a **!

I will be surprised if it is. When did we ever get anything off the EFL, justified or not.

 

[TangerineArmy]

Interesting if ref loses control 2nd half.... I hope we make it as difficult for him that's for sure. Still can't believe that decision

 

[tangerinespud]

Why did Norburn, when he won the toss have us attack the North first half? Seems a really strange decision. Is it to do with the sun in the keepers eyeliner?

Wind direction ?

 

[MeanLeanTangerineMachine]

Rhodes sending off

Mind boggles, he's even got a great view....

 

[Costero Poderoso]

take off norburn and bring joseph on who's a lot less passive, better header of the ball, better tackler and will chase everything play him and dembele a bit deeper 3-3-2-. Not impressed by portsmouth. if dembele gabriel coulson and joseph (if he comes on) we have players who can run at the pompey defence. they are going to commit fouls its then a matter of just how shit and possibly corrupt this ref is.

 

[Vince McLean]

We need to engineer a situation where the ref gives Pompey a red to even it up.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Just watched the replay, not even a foul never mind a red card, player went down like he was shot. Basic cheating and the ref fell for it. Pompey supporters saying the same.

 

[Graves]

Well this is xxx stressful.

 

[Bobtheretiredbroker]

Ref's from Preston !!

 

[Hazi]

3 game ban

Surely to god it gets rescinded this one, foul after foul on Coulson and Dembele waves play on, this is a disgraceful decision. I thought it was a foul on Bees and Rhodes, then thought he must of called the ref a cheating cnut or something to get a red, but violent conduct

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Preston referee who brandishes red cards almost every game. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[TSSeasider]

That will be rescinded, Ref should be hauled before the authorities for that, worst decision I have seen in years. What a **!

I wouldn't bet on that.

Terrible decision mind.

 

[Enzo]

Foul on beesley immediately followed by a foul on Rhodes what a tit

 

[Bobtheretiredbroker]

Rhodes will be devastated. Looking really sharp today too.

 

[TSSeasider]

Fingers crossed we can get something out of this.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Portsmouth 17 is a cheating *****!
The referee has been conned.
Apart from that, the referee has been ****! all game.

 

[Victor Laszlo]

The defender has got him sent off there..goes down and does a Klinsman. He's nearly rolled off the pitch.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Rhodes will be devastated. Looking really sharp today too.

At least he won't miss 3 games, that has to be rescinded.

 

[Realfish]

Amongst the replies. some reactions and video from Pompey fans. All of them saying it's not a red.
