So we have to take Dimi’s opinion as gospel but not Wilder’s? Got it.Ye his expertise is probably invalid here, my mistake

I mean Steffen thought it was a foul and he’s an international goalkeeper that played for Man City, I think it’s absolute nonsense to think someone is right just because they played the game.Ye his expertise is probably invalid here, my mistake
It's not wilder's standard behaviour, it was Warnocks. Every manager is allowed to complain at some point about refereeing. He won't allow the player to escape without any blame that's pretty clear. I'd expect Dijksteel to be benched and then Lenihan will have to fight to get back in both were poor. Jones will have had a strip torn off about going to grown he's done that in the last 2 games and given chances away. Stay on your feet, delay, deny, deflect.
He thought he was fouled because he screwed up and was looking for it.I mean Steffen thought it was a foul and he’s an international goalkeeper that played for Man City, I think it’s absolute nonsense to think someone is right just because they played the game.
Have you not listened to Jamie Redknapp every week for years?
Are you sure?That is exactly what he did.
He’s paid to give opinion to cause debate and get people watching.I mean Steffen thought it was a foul and he’s an international goalkeeper that played for Man City, I think it’s absolute nonsense to think someone is right just because they played the game.

What are these "limitations" you know so much about.Does it help distract you from the limitations of our ‘manager’ though ? Hope so…..
AThe thing that annoys me about football pundits and football fans is this demand that a ref should come out and explain his decisions in front of the press.
What they actually mean is that the ref should stand there while the pundits tear him to bits after they've had the benefit of 15 slow motion replays from different angles. Why should the ref have to explain anything, they give honest decisions and get some right and some wrong, what else do we expect them to say? Did Gary Neville or Carragher do an interview after every game to explain every missed pass?
Its the same yesterday, no doubt Wilder has gone into the refs room to demand an explanation with a load of expletives thrown in, what response does he expect?
The opinion is split on here despite people watching loads of replays and freeze frames. It looked like Steffen should have been stronger to me on the first viewing and that's what the ref felt, just move on. No number of replays will change the outcome.
Wilder should be looking at why we've been all over the place defensively rather than blaming the ref because I know which one was more to blame yesterday.

You have all the answers.
Nows your opportunity to share them with us.
Or are you really just a wind - up merchant.
Are you Neil Warnhock?j
When they call a foul & a miss, they are judging the quality of the play.Really ? I’ve never heard a snooker ref saying to John Higgins you hit the ball too hard there or a tennis judge telling Novak to serve a bit slower. Refs should be seen not heard
This is a complete non story.When they call a foul & a miss, they are judging the quality of the play.
No they aren’t. They’re judging whether the play is within the rules.When they call a foul & a miss, they are judging the quality of the play.
Obviously...No they aren’t. They’re judging whether the play is within the rules.
Miss typed.
Jedi being OTT never.I think you’re going OTT with this, he said Steffen should have been stronger, he should have. Steffen made a meal of it and we were punished.
Not really. The referee calls a miss if there was an easier option than the one attempted by the player. If a player is snookered, the easier escape may result in leaving the opponent a simple pot. The more difficult escape may leave the cue ball safer. It is very rarely a bone of contention, the player knows the risk and may even try it 2 or 3 times rather than leave the opponent 'in'.Obviously...
But IIRC the rule involves the referee assessing has the player attempted to play the ball to the 'best of their ability' & that the miss was not intentional.
