AFC Bournemouth 3-3 West Ham Utd (26/12/18)

[Jumby]

We got everything we deserved, if anything we should have lost 3-1, two of our goals were rubbish and we played rubbish. Actually, because we played rubbish we should lose another goal, it should have been 3-0 to Bournemouth. And their kit was better than ours, more coordinated, is it possible to score minus, or do we just give them another goal and attribute it to Callum Wilson, that cheeky little chancer?

[Humbug]

Our defending was summed up by Cresswell for their second.

He assumed the ball would go out of play so gave up on it, their attacker thought he'd give chase anyway (just in case). He kept it in and then Cresswell let him run 25 yards before puling him back right on the edge of our box conceding a FK in a dangerous area when he could (and should) have pulled the fella over much further up the pitch.

FK led to the corner that led to the goal, utterly woeful from Aaron.
--------------------------

The funniest part of that, or disgraceful depending on how you look at it, was when it didn't go out and then he did this weird pirouet thing when the ball didn't even move. I was watching thinking has he just had a seizure or something? It was very strange. Can someone post a GIF of it, it was ridiculous.

The reason he did the ballet dancer routine was because he thought their player was going to lump it . So because he's afraid of getting hurt, he tried to jump out of the way, I've said it a few times , but he's not been right in his head since that injury. I think a flash of his future life outside of being a footballer has made him think twice. Can you imagine Ginge doing a pirouette like that?

You must have missed Cheltenham away earlier this season, Ginge did the best Cruyff turn ever in their box .

The blokes a dancer .

There's too much objectivity in a current football result, the sooner the better a subjective scoring system is introduced. At the end of each half a panel of experts and Gary Lineker should hold up a card with numbers on for each team. an aggregate score can then be calculated at full time. This way the correct team will always get the result no matter how many goals are scored by whom. and MOTD panelists can argue about whether Harry Kane is lovely or not.and when they've decided can e mail Sky to see if they're correct.

That's the only way the game can move forward, it has to happen, life would be so much easier.

[Hampshire Hammer]

So hand on heart none of you have ever seen a ref overrule a linesman? Really?

The ref was wrong but it isn't a new situation.

As with others I'm more annoyed with his failure to dish out 2 red cards and how badly we defended.

[Exiledin cardiff]

Looking at how poor our defence was, is only compounded by absolutely dire our midfield were. Bournemouth with a half decent striker could easily have had 6 goals, What is even more frightening is our DOF and Manager think ****ing Arry ArterIs the the answer. The same Arter who didn't make the squad, It's going to be a long cold winter.

It's going to take a herculean effort to pull ourselves out of the hole we have dug, Sullys shovel better hit paydirt straight away as the window opens.

Never, in those circumstances, in either professional or amateur football. If you have an example, feel free to share it.

[smuts]

I still don't know why he over ruled it. I can only assume he thought that Wilson never touched the ball and it went straight in from Ake.

He only seem to get interested when Bournemouth started whinging to him.

[Doc H Ball]

Wasn't Sammy Lee flagged offside in our LC Final in '81 and Thomas overruled it saying he wasn't interfering with play?

That's how I recall it Doc.

[BondsoBob]

Ironic really when you consider that it was a previous Liverpool manager that made that famous observation. 'If he's not interfering with play then what's he doing on the pitch ?'

He had to duck to avoid the bloody ball!

STB's only yellow card I think.

Linesman was not flagging for Offside claims Referee Bob Madley but drawing attention ' to the incident ' - he doesn't say which incident however .

Keep digging , Bob , you'll find it eventually .

[smuts]

What incident Bob? We're all ears.

[Hampshire Hammer]

I have definitely seen a ref overrule a linesman whom flagged for a penalty when the ref had a better view.

Also seen a ref deem that a player wasn't interfering whom the linesman flagged as offside.

As I've said repeatedly madely was wrong but what he seemed to do was, under pressure from players, consult then change his mind. When I did my ref training I was told to consult then make a decision.

[Rio]

What incident Bob? We're all ears.

I reckon he was flagging just to alert Bobby that he’d remembered who won the 1999 grand national, they were doing an online quiz in the officials room before tge game. There’s never an inoppotune moment to pass on a bit of trivia that’s been bugging you

[Humbug]

A very poor incapable referee not fit to lick the shoes of crappy old Michael Oliver and Martin Atkinson. A very rotten apple in a barrel of bad ones.

[Rasp]

If it were to happen to one of the top clubs there would be a ****ing riot but we all know that it wouldn't happen don't we...

[Up the Junction]

I have definitely seen a ref overrule a linesman whom flagged for a penalty when the ref had a better view.

So not quite the same circumstances at all.
