West Ham (A) Match Thread

Poor refereeing is coming close to ruining the PL. Games are fast becoming a lottery. Every weekend it's the same,shocking match changing decisions. Absolute ****ing joke.

[Zapater]

Unbelievable, ****ty reffing. Not really surprised that we're getting screwed here. Carroll, what an absolute ****.

Concerned that Flannagan is getting the run around from Diame and Sterling isn't having a great game either. Hope they can step it up in the 2nd.

[RichC]

Disgusting from the officials as per usual.

We need to play like we can and not give the officials the chance to influence the game

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Hopefully this will spur the lads on and we'll smash the hammers properly, dodgy officiating notwithstanding.

I don't see what the issue with the ref and linesman is. The linesman sees a foul, why is there a need for a discussion did the ref also see it and deem that it wasn't a foul? Because that for me is the only thing that can happen as if the ref doesn't see anything he can't give anything or over rule anything

We didn't deserve to be ahead at half time but that was a Poxy decision. We need to man the **** up and take these to the cleaners. Their midfield has been more combative and aggressive.... They've wanted it more than us.

It's not a lottery. Lotteries are random.

This is about teams consistently getting decisions, shocking decisions, in favor of them, and a team consistently getting shafted, over and over again, one week after another.

A simple replay would have taken the same time or even quicker to review. Cannot blame the ref really

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I genuinely can't remember a 'dodgy' decision going against City all year. They've had plenty going their way though.

I'm ****ing fuming the lino gave it!!!! how the **** can the ref overrule him when his only argument is "I didn't see it" with it on the ****ing screen behind him!

I was encouraged by Rodgers '****ing hell' comment on the sidelines when we lost the ball. He's clearly not happy with our performance.

We're playing as though we expected to turn up and win, a bit complacent. As you say, be more aggressive and thoughtful with the ball, and we'll win this.

Yep, these "honest mistakes" are always against us and for Chelsea/City. It's got completely out of hand. We'd have won this league already if games were officiated fairly.

[~LFCHistory~]

The officials in this league really are dumb as ****, laughable. Horrible horrible ****s the lot of them.

All important decisions should be decided by instant replay, if they can bring in goal line technology why not ?

You can if the Lino has seen the foul.

[ChesterDave]

****ing Citeh fan on my facebook saying evens out as ours wasn't a penalty!

[Red_Polo]

We're not going to win the league, are we...

I know it sounds hysterical but it feels like there's some kind of conspiracy. Un****ingbelievable. We're not going to win this one.

Not if we let our heads drop so quickly as that we're not! We're level with half the game to go, and we're a much better team than them. Regardless of the outcome there are games beyond this. We can't fall into the trap of feeling anything is predetermined, we need to wrest control and be masters of our own fate.
