Handball for the Swansea goal

[WSBBA_Ben]

Did anyone else see the stone wall hand ball for the goal? I don't want to make excuses but to be fair, I thought the officials were pretty poor today.

[coventryrover]

I thought they were pretty good actually.

[hoolahoop]

No but I agree they weren't the best. The ref needs a lesson on when and where to use the 'advantage' rule.

[Superspy]

yeah i thought it was a mixed bag from the officials today, some very good decisions, and some shockers aswell.

There was a loud shout for handball from a lot of the fans at that end but i was too far away to comment really.Earlier in the second half when the ref played advantage when Copps got brought down and the ball fell to Healy was pathetic,he had the ball at his feet and 4 defenders in front of him and not a Rovers player in sight,where was the advantage in that?

Clear handball but how is Muzzy supposed 2 get near him when he's got his arm across his face, handball,foul n possibly offside

[Bikka]

The lino near the southstand, first half, missed about 3-4 clear offsides.

Not sure whether healy was offside in 1st half n also the lino near away fans was avin a good chat with a few swansea fans when he was near them, missed a couple of handballs 2 in the 1st half

Yes he was offside when he scored, about 2 yards. Had s golden chance when he got rebound from Copps shot in second half but went in side neeting  
We should of brought on Souzza instead of Deano, which is usually SOD'S way in last 5 minutes but i don't know where the 4 minutes injury time came from, only 4 subs is 2 minutes.....30 seconds each

Ok fair point, any1 notice Swansea's game play of throwing themselves to the floor as soon as thomas went near them, cheats if ever i saw them

The referee bought every one of them , it was a disgrace . Once yes, twice maybe but it happened far too often for my liking.  :angry:

n how is dumbuya supposed 2 b able 2 bring down players of beatties size, the number of 50 50s that the ref gave in favour of swansea was ott

I thought handball to be honest, but the real grumble from me is at us not killing the game off
