VILLAMARV Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Quote Sanchez Watt: Former Arsenal player sent off after referee mistakes his name for dissent A player has been sent off after a referee mistook his name for dissent. Referee Dean Hulme asked Sanchez Watt, who was playing for Hemel Hempstead Town, for his name as he was about to be booked in a National League South game against East Thurrock United. The 27-year-old repeatedly replied: "Watt" but Hulme believed he was saying "what?" and sent him off for dissent. Hulme rescinded the card when it was explained Watt was not showing dissent. "It was a human error," Hemel Hempstead chairman Dave Boggins told BBC Sport. "The referee was man enough to rectify it. "I think everybody found it amusing afterwards - including the referee. "He came into the boardroom after the game and explained how he had made the mistake. "He was very apologetic and saw the funny side of it. He was a good ref on the night to be fair to him." The incident happened towards the end of Hemel Hempstead's 2-0 win on Tuesday and Watt did not leave the field. Watt played three games for Arsenal in the League Cup as an 18-year-old, scoring against West Brom in the third round at Emirates Stadium on 22 September 2009. He has also played in the Championship for Leeds United and had spells at Sheffield Wednesday, Southend, Crawley and Colchester. Watt is on loan at Hemel Hempstead from Isthmian League side Billericay Town. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43314870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he's more than made up for that since. Ha, Maybe he remembered this. Kevin Friend certainly has previous I remember the Chelsea game when ivanovic should’ve been sent off but he went on to score the winner. Absolutely needs investigating.

MotoMkali Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We were all thinking when we got up the referees would be better. We'll evidently that was a lie. We have been robbed in 3/4 games. Against spurs we should have had a penalty before they scored their 3 goals. This would have given us a comfortable lead and likely would have meant we would have gotten at least a point. Against Bournemouth Phillip Billing should have been sent off which would have meant we probably would have scored more as they wouldn't have had a holding midfielder and would have been under even more pressure. I also remember that there may have been a penalty shout. Against Crystal Palace Grealish was fouled attempted to stay up and did played a ball and was then brought down in the box. He didn't appeal but was booked for diving even though if there was no contact he could have slipped or fallen over because he played the ball. We then scored but was disallowed for diving. In my view that is at minimum 3 points taken from us in 4 games. Maybe more because against spurs and Bournemouth there may have been a good chance of victory. Against Everton in my view we had fewer 50/50 decisions go out way ie. Wesley being fouled which led to Guilbert's booking from minimal contact. In my view they have been terrible so far what do the rest of you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 yeah, disgustingly bad, and it makes it even worse when VAR isnt being utilised to correct glaring errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The thing with VAR is that involves more humans, therefore there is more human error. I honestly can't see how that decision was made. Atkinson against Bournemouth wasn't applying a pretty basic law of the game with Billing. I just don't understand what the **** is going on.

New_Hope Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 It seems the 'established' teams get a good run of the green with decisions....unfancied or promoted teams seem like they have to work hard to get into this exclusive club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding more humans to an individual chain of work can introduce the risk of more human error, but not when they're double-checking each other's work.We wouldn't bother peer reviewing stuff if it just increased the risk of error!

Guest av1 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Just now, sne said: Tbf both Spurs and Man City have been shafted by VAR this season. I'm not disputing that, rather that I hoped the days of referees clearly being biased to the bigger clubs/home teams would be reduced with VAR. It seems however that VAR isn't being used correctly. Note: Palace are certainly not "a bigger club" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The referees are poor across the whole of English football. I (foolishly) had high hopes that VAR would sort out the dodgy decisions but clearly that isn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) First of all, Grealish played the ball. And didn't appeal for anything. Second he was fouled twice before he went down. Which VAR clearly shows. There's no reasonable explanation for the referees decisions today. It's not a matter of being subjective, if the foul was nasty enough to warrant a yellow. It's not about the interpretation of something like the handball rule. There's nothing to interpret one way or another in the incident. Either he wasnt fouled and its a goal. If he was fouled it's a penalty. Intentional or not. The referee used his power to effect the game. If it was a mistake, he clearly chose to ignore it. This man should not be allowed to continue in his work. The referees are too well protected and raised above any form of reasonable criticism. They should be held accountable for their decision in post match interviews. At least that would leave us with understanding controversial decisions, and even some sort of self reflection/correction.

holteend1982 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I still cannot belive he blew his whistle there. The passage of play was always going to end very quickly in that position so why not let it go then get VAR to review it and check if there was any contact on grealish.
