Refwatch...MIDDLESBROUGH (H)

[mydak]

Oh, and wtf was the dropped ball all about? He clearly waved Seol on otherwise he would have booked him for entering the field of play without permission.

The lino waved Seol on, not the ref.

When Seol played it the ref blew up because he'd not waved him on himself, but the he realised that the lino had done so, so he compromised.

That's my reading of it, anyway.

hes not allowed to enter the field of play in a position that would immediately give his team an advantage. i think the ref did wave him on, when the ball was on the opposite side of the pitch. when it came over right away and pretty much straight to seol, the ref didnt have much choice other than to stop the game.

Thought Rigott deserved at least a yellow for coming right through Kits from behind.

He did get booked for that challenge.

Utterly inept performance by Halsey today.

He was terrible but we got 3 points without his help

Ince to see Mark Viduka get a perfectly good goal ruled out Proof that things in football even each other out as Rochemback should have been sent off for his assaults on Seol

Hmmm im qualified as a referee, i know im a reading fan, but the truth is Halsey didnt give us enough decisions today!

The doyle incident in the second half
There was an incident before Middlesbrough second goal, just to name two!

Oh and what on earth happened when seol came back on after being injured
He called him back on to the field and he blows the whistle for a drop ball im confused!!
He's being brought back on so he can get the ball!

What a muppet!!

I too am a qualified Ref and you are correct

Mr Halsey Got it sooo wrong he should not have called Seol back on when the ball was in the Boro half. There was a plenty of time and I personally believe that he wanted to get Seol on as early as he could and he rushed it. At least he had the balls to say sorry guys that was my fault. May,be he was thinking that the yellow was not enough and he got distracted but as far as I am concerned the excessive force used in that chalenge was deserving of a red Plus the arm in the face previously .

Mr Halsey must be sitting at home thinking that he had a bad game today.
We all make mistakes but he made too many for a premiership ref.


Hey ho 3 points
