The Watford players seemed to be complaining to the ref after the final whistle. Maybe it was just frustration. 3 minutes in extra was a pleasant surprise even if we played 5.

Yeah, I must admit - I was chuffed when they held up three minutes.

One of those games I think, both teams might moan about the odd decision here and there but the ref did fine generally.

Seemed like a good game, I'm obviously not neutral but I'd say people would have enjoyed it - it looked like two pretty good teams having a knock I would have said.

Ref was shit for both teams all night. Both he and the Kop linesman missed the most blatant shirt pull on Roberts in added time in the corner, followed a minute later by what looked like a blatant foul by Koumas in the opposite corner.

I thought he was generally ok - as I said, a bit fussy later on.

The Kop side lino was a different matter. He gave Watford an absolutely wank free kick for the guy going down in installments having not been touched, then ignored far more obvious fouling on Roberts. Now he WAS shite.

That free kick he gave was cowardice at it sxworst and started my Tourrrettes off. It didn’t get better as the keeper took the free kick from 10 yards away from where it should have been taken after ignoring the linesman’s request to move the ball towards the touchline. He deserved the flag pole up his arse

A Liam Ridgewell special that one, ridiculous that the lino fell for it

Ridgewell 😁 True. I always call it a Caddis
