Referee's assessor

Chizzy said a ref assessor was there. The trouble is that they never publicly admit a poor performance or when they get a decision wrong. And if they did, it is too late for us to benefit
 
I wasn’t able to watch the game today but wish I had as this howler from the ref sounds of epic proportions! Unfortunately the incident wasn’t on the match highlights on Sky Sports.
 
The way their player dived after fouling Mitchell and he rolled around to try and con the ref was pathetic and one the worst case of play acting cheating I've seen.

The ref clearly saw it was a foul took him out on a yellow card and nothing at all.

Shocking decision.
 
Every game gets an assessor. The major issues the ref got wrong will be mentioned in the assessment and will effect his overall point score.
 
The refs assessor will be marking on a number of factors. Here is an example of todays ref

For the first 20 mins I was thinking we'd finally got a decent ref in charge, he was spotting the pushes and nudges and had control. iFollow messed me around for the next 5 mins and when I finally managed to get the feed back I was convinced I'd missed something and they'd had to change the ref!
 
For the sending off that never was, the referee clearly ran over and checked what number the Sunderland player was before he decided no yellow card, any other player and he would have been booked.
 
Javing thought about the non sending off and drunk a bottle of wine. It's still up there with one of the most inept, unexplainable decisions i've ever witnesse. Whwn asked the question" why ", there is no way he could come up with an answer.
Inept doesn't do it justice, if it was cricket you'd be looking at the betting trends !

When I watched the game live, I'm almost sure I can remember the ref had a yellow card in his hand as he ran towards the incident. I assumed he'd bottled it when he realised the guy was already on a yellow? A truly awful decision.

Looks like it wasn't Lambrini! The lad even did the pretend to be injured in hopes of a let off thing as well. Madness. Not even bothered about a knock-on effect of Callum McFadzean missing their next game or not -his hastily-arranged replacement looked the better player. It was just the principle. Sporting integrity. You'd fully expect Luke Garbutt or Jim Husband to walk in a like-for-like second yellow situation.
 
There is no explanation for it not to be a second yellow, none, zero, nil. Taking away goals we could argue about forever, it's probably the worst decision i can remember in recent history. It was such a straightforward decision, you have to wonder how the ref has reached this level.
 
Of course anyone can make a mistake. However this was the most blatant yellow card I have seen in a long time.

I don't think he bottled it, it is bordering on the corrupt.
 
It's mad because we won the game but it's still the highlight of it.

I simply cannot fathom how that complete hack down of Mitchell was not a yellow card. It's seriously one of the worst bit's of refereeing I have seen since Schumacher in the 1982 World Cup. If there were supporters in that North Stand he'd have HAD to send him off or the Muckers would have walked him off themselves.
 
We've had some poor decisions this season, the 2 handballs at Donny and Lincoln spring to mind but the failure to produce a 2nd yellow for Mcfadzean was as bad as I've seen in a very long time. What makes it worse is the assistant imbecile had a clear view also. If we'd have dropped points it would have been even more annoying. What if he scores the winner on their next game when he should be suspended, I'm sure Hull wouldn't be impressed. If their fans think he was a homer it says a lot about how many decisions they expect to go their way. I can think of several shockers yesterday in addition to the 2nd yellow, most notably Ward's tackle that set us on a 3 v 2 break only for the ref to give a foul.

Totally inept referee.should have been 3 red cards at least ,and the amount of times the Sunderland centre forward lead with his arms was akin to gbh
 
I don't usually buy into slagging the ref off- it's normally a case of we lose and fans say the ref was crap, we win and they say he was good, but he was beyond bad.

The guy should have had a second yellow- no question and the fact he didn't allowed Dougall and Leadbetter push the limit more than they would. Their big lad pushed the limit with his elbows and deliberate physical attacks on Greta- he was trying to get him injured and the ref allowed it to work.

I forgot about Ward cleanly winning the ball and the ref giving a free kick. I mean, it wasn't even difficult to see - the ball changed direction completely and the ref was right in front of it. Absolutely appalling bias in favour of the away side throughout the match.
And then with the Mcfadzean non-card, Sunderland hauling him off at the very next opportunity told you all you needed to know about what Lee Johnson thought. He knew he was incredibly lucky to still be on the pitch.
In a way, yesterday reminded me of some of the biased refs we had in the prem that constantly favoured the bigger clubs. They're not even subtle about it.
 
Just look at the pen they got in the Micky Walsh game. Perfect tackle by Bill Bentley. Nothing changes. We still won 😁
 
What we should think about is, why on earth did the not give a 2nd Yellow?
Everyone watching knew it was a definite Yellow Card, but somehow he ducked it.
Is he a closet Sunderland fan? How much are they paying him? 😉
One of the worst non-decisions I have ever seen.
Hope he gets laid off, at least until the end of the season.
Who knows he might get another match with Sunderland playing?
Don't the teams of the day get to mark the Ref? If so I hope we gave him the lowest possible score.
 
Ref was shocking like I don't think I've seen a clearer second yellow. There were a couple of other decisions that made no sense for us and against us. I think he bottled it when it go a little physical and players on both sides were lucky to not get booked.
 
Sunderland manager admits it too in a newspaper article!
& That's why he subbed him immediately!

Sunderland took him off instantly, as they knew that foul should have been a sending off so he was on the thinest of thin ice. I agree with the sentiment that it is genuinely one of the worst refereeing decisions I've seen, it is a stonewall, unequivocal 2nd yellow. I honestly don't think there is room for debate that he should have been sent off, stunning that it wasn't given.

Hilarious how later on a Sunderland player was in the ref's ear about giving Dougall a 2nd yellow - Ormerod summed it up, he can't send a player off now for the rest of his career after that!

What nobody has mentioned is if he is sent off would he be eligible for the next game against us? It’s piss poor

He had just let a Dougall foul go albeit a lesser offence.

This is what they said on the seasiders podcast.

Apparently when Maxwell questioned the referee why it wasn't a 2nd yellow, the ref told him, cos he'd just saved Dougall a 2nd yellow, so balanced it out.
Didn't think Dougall's challenge was a 2nd yellow myself.
