We’ll not know whether that was a point gained or 2 points dropped until Chelsea and Man Utd have played.
Frustrating game.
Appalling referee.
Brighton played the home crowd and the ref from the first minute.
Their idea was to cheat, frustrate, delay, etc….it worked.
The worst we’ve had at St James Park this season – and that’s saying something @FA_PGMOL 😡
Wasn’t the best ref by any stretch but had the bottle to book a couple of obvious dives and there’d be no issues if we’d have won 2-1.
He allowed one side to dictate the match – time wasting early and rolling on the floor excessively – losing control.
Penalty appeals correctly dismissed
Time wasting on goal kicks probably totalled about 10 mins of the game, and that was from the start. Very bizarre behaviour. Held the ball in his hands for 30 seconds every time too before passing it 2 yards ffs, horrible to watch, glad ref was aware…..
The commentators for Peacock in the US called him Darrin English in the first 20 min and that was the best moment of the match
You lot have short term memories then, Stuart Atwell against Arsenal and Pawson against Brentford have been the worst this season
I’ve seen plenty games over the years with bad referees, but this clown tops the lot. An absolute awful referee
Same happened to Sevilla!
Sevilla fell to a bitter defeat to Villarreal on Saturday, losing 3-2 at the Ceramica despite having led twice. The winner was scored by Alexander Sorloth in the 97th minute, although there was a fair share of controversy surrounding it.
Sevilla felt that Sorloth fouled Kike Salas in the motion of scoring the winning goal, and they were furious that it was not called by referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias or VAR – and these tension spilled over once the full time whistle, as players and staff on both teams clashed.
Speaking of the controversial goal in stoppage time, Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri – who scored twice – accused Ortiz Arias of showing bias in Villarreal’s favour, as per ED.
“We also suffered with the referee. If you have to blow the whistle (for fouls), blow the whistle fairly, not just in their favour. The last one was a foul, and he has to call it.”
En-Nesyri could risk suspension for these comments, which would be very bad news for Sevilla. Earlier in the season, Girona’s David Lopez was handed a four-match ban for comments he also made about Ortiz Arias.
