No chance at all for me. Watch it back. Their lad was pretty much level with JJ. I’d back him against most to at least match them for pace. 

Will need to watch again, at the time it felt unfortunate more than outrageous.

Pawson booking Ricky P for getting the ball one-footed

[Guest foxestalkisfullofidiots]

Not even a foul let alone a yellow

 

Craig Pawson normally has VAR to rectify his mistakes, he shouldn’t be anywhere near a game of this magnitude

Don’t think I’ve ever been so angry over a decision. F**king disgrace and should be consequences but we all know there won’t be 

[Corky]

That yellow was a disgraceful decision.

[DennisNedry]

Neil Redfearn even saying that was an awful call to book Riccardo, not even a foul.

If the standard of officiating gets progressively worse as you go down the divisions at the same rate as we now see in the championship then match officials at League Two level mustn’t have eyes

The mad thing is the last 2 games have been “premier league” refs and they have been absolutely abysmal too.

True - PL level is shit as standard but we then get the ones who are shitter than shit 

[Trelleh]

Craig Pawson..

Pawson - that's poor, son...

[jayfox26]

Prem refs have been worse than the championship refs when we've had them this season. It's absolutely staggering how he's seen that as a foul, never mind a yellow. He has a good view and that is unbelievable incompetence to come to that decision. Yellows can have a huge influence on games as now Riccy knows he has to be careful and Enzo could be forced into subbing him when he may not have wanted to. Its unbelievable how utterly appalling the refereeing is in this country. Can anyone who watches foreign games confirm if the refs are as incompetent abroad? 

[Swarles Barkley]

Fvck me he is awful

[Trav Le Bleu]

My mate's friend is the linesman.

[UniFox21]

Running out of words to describe these officials

Has he finished primary school or dropped out like the majority of these officials? 

[Will1981]

bring back VAR FFS can not trust these biased muppets.

[SergeLCFC]

That’s cost us the game. Multi million pound decisions at the hands of these morons. Some of you will say it’s the woeful finishing which is partly true but 2-0 is a completely different scenario 

[orangecity23]

Another live away game on Sky in the title race, and just like against Ipswich away (KDH pen), Cov Away (multiple missed reds/2nd yellows for them, harsh one on Abdul given we've seen worse fouls by the oppo every week go unpunished) and again today with Pawson and his lino. ooh, the title race is on AND IT'S LIIIIIIVE. Just what the league and the TV co want. It'smalmost like they needed a ref for the job, and looked down their lists and looked at Pawson and his past record and knew he would do the job magnificently. And a week after they sent the equally dodgy Chris Kavanagh. Jon Moss out of retirement for next Saturday the, is it?

[Supergray22]

Only one winner tonight. Pawson  - world’s worst ref. Ever. 

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

Pawson is the worst ref in the Prem by a mile, so dropping him down for a title decider was always going to end badly. The yellow on Ricardo was a farce, usually bailed out by his mate in VAR for the disallowed goal so doesn't make a decision. He was in a much better position than the lino to clearly see their player chested it down to Daka, but was too scared to make a decision at Elland Road with an atmosphere. He is the sort of refs that blokes on a Sunday morning punch in the face because of the arrogance and incompetence of his ability to do his job. The game away at Anfield where he gave them 2 pens in the great escape season should have been enough for him to never referee a Leicester game again. 

[Vacamion]

 

The disallowed goal. Either the officials didn't see who touched the ball or they don't know the rules.

 

Ricardo being booked for having the temerity to make a fair tackle (and you could see afterwards he pulled out of a couple of tackles and also that Dan James tried to get him sent off with a second yellow at the end).

 

Pawson let Gnonto away with ankle rapping tackles until he went off.

 

Leeds were fouling all over 1st half and didn't get a booking til near the end if the half.

 

Leeds wrestling Faes in the box at set pieces because they couldn't handle him with theor zonal marking.

 

That tackle on Kasey near the end was the kind you have seen reds given for.

 

Suggesting there was time wasting, then adding only five minutes in a game where there were 4 goals, quite a few fouls causing treatment, and a ton of subs.

 

Minus 58 million out of ten, Pawson.

[Matt]

Firstly I wanna say even at the 70 minute mark when we still looked composed I was planning to post this, Secondly Pawson isn't the reason we lost tonight but:

 

I've generally not had a single problem with EFL officiating this season.

 

In the last 2 games we've had "Premier League" officials and they've been the worst we've had all season.
