| The Big Decisions 13:11 - Jan 21 with 2310 views | PinnerPaul | Only seen live once but here goes 1) Handball 1st half - Pretty clear pen to me - old law or new law. Possible ref didn't see it, but AR should have helped him out there. 2) Charlie disallowed goal - Although it cost me some money as I had Charlie to score anytime - think on balance it was a foul. Don't think it was given for 'Dangerous play' as that would have been an indirect free kick. Charlie didn't make contact with defender's head, but did kick him, so that one was probably right. 3) Dieng double save - Morrison NOT offside for the 2nd shot - if you look carefully you can see Charlie ask the AR if it was him that played him on - yes it was Charlie! 4) Cameron send off(s) - Pretty lucky boy I thought. Given the conditions 1st yellow, probably one of those 'orange' ones - foot was a bit high so could have been red. However the little tug on Moore shortly after - that was a foul and a (2nd) yellow I thought. All other cautions good for me and don't think he missed any. |  | | |  |

| The Big Decisions on 15:17 - Jan 21 by daveB | every free kick we got last night they kicked the ball away to stop us taking a quick one and nothing done about it. That Austin goal looks fine to me, defender throws himself towards Austin who didn't do anything wrong, he does make contact but contact isn't a foul |
no, that's true, but only has to be 'careless' to be a foul and as I said above can see why he gave it. |  | |  |

| The Big Decisions on 15:01 - Jan 21 by francisbowles | Don't get me started on the booking for that free kick. If he had got the opponent 10 yards from the ball , like he was supposed to, then Ilias could have taken the kick. In the end the bloke was still within the distance when Chair took it after the caution. I gave the ref a 5 on the markings page but in retrospect it should have been at least a couple less. |
Yes, I'm surprised he is currently showing at an average score of 4.5 on the ratings page. I thought he was dreadful and scored him a 3. |  | |  |
| The Big Decisions on 16:13 - Jan 21 with 480 views | dodge_stoke_r | The stream that I watched was the Cardiff " version" and even their commentators couldn't see anything wrong with Austin's goal. And following a couple of his "none" free kicks in their favour, they both laughed and said "we like this ref, as his tactic seems to be to give us every decision"! And as for so called safe refereeing. It's not safe, it's bad. And the fact that we are seeing players throwing themselves to floor on feeling an opponent's breath on them and the constant kicking or the ball away, is because these safe( shit ) referees are falling for it and allowing it |  | |  |

Surely if anyone is being 'careless', it's the Cardiff player for throwing his head at Austin's foot??? |  |

How low would his head have to go before he is guilty of dangerous play . Have given decisions against players for that offence in the past. Not always about the height of the foot. |  |

Yes the question is, and should be, who created the danger. It wasn't Austin! |  | |  |

Glad someone's mentioned this. Chair was booked for waiting for the guy to get ten yards, he then had to take the kick with the so called ref looking at a Cardiff player right behind him. Yes, it was a dire all round performance by a serially crap ref. |  |
| It's being so happy that keeps me going. |
