I don't often criticise officials but today they were terrible. Probably worst I've seen.
Too easy to moan about the ref when your teams put in a below par performance. Did he ref have a bearing on the result? No. That's all that concerns me.No one will mention the corner we got that clearly wasn't in the SW corner.
Ref got most things right, I thought. Very combative game, Marquis gave as good as he got.
if you put your hands in the air and it hits them it's a penalty
I think you may need to calm down a bit, reflect a little and, watch some replays or something.Every single thing you've said there is wrong. The ball hit his hand but it wasn't an intentional handball. The guy who 'kicked out' at Marquis happened to be 2 yards away from him at the time and it was an ironic act of petulance. The corner, as others have pointed out, wasn't a corner.Morecambe did well to stop us playing, especially in the 1st half. Like Fergie said, give them some credit, stop blaming the ref, and move on to the next game.

The position of your hands has no bearing on whether its an infringement. The infringement is whether the referee judges it to be intentional. And to make that decision he takes into account the relative distance and position between the last play of the ball and the players hand.Technically your hands are in the air 99% of the time. How could the rules be any other way? By 'in the air' you actually mean rougly head height or above. How would they implement that? There was a perfect example of it earlier (may have been later can't remember) near the East stand where the ball was handled but it clearly wasn't a handball.Don't get me wrong, I think irrationally about these things just as much as the next person. I was screaming penalty in the ground. But couple of hours later I calm down.
I can assure you a phrase such as unnatural position would never feature in any rules. What exactly is a 'natural' position for a footballers hands? Half the time defenders hands are up high when they're getting leverage for headers.
When the ball hit Ellisons arm, he turned and looked at the lino in panic, which says all you need to know.And we could have a case with the kick on Marquis as the ref didn't see it so retrospective action could be taken. Even if there's no contact, an attempted swing at an opponent is a straight red.
True. But I think this incident has to be seen to be believed. I hope there's a clip. It was kind of comical.As I said, refs are refs, as long as the two most important factors determining the outcome are the performances of either team (as it was today), I don't care.
No one has mentioned the full blooded assualt on Connor Grant with their player going down making he had an head injury
