Standard of Refereeing

[aj2k77]

Surprised that Emery has been booked thrice. He's usually as good as gold.

We've had loads of refs this season either lose control or give us absolutely nothing.

Monaco v Villa.
Top Official this evening  Slavko Vinčić from Slovenia he's a outstanding ref.
Was the official for last season final.

Certainly he's step ahead and above likes of Kavanagh.
This season he's averaged 4 cards a game in UCL.

Officials for West Ham
Referee: Peter Banks VAR: Paul Tierney.
Averages 4 cards a game.

Ahh Peter Bankes the man in charge for the infamous 3-3 v Preston sent off James Chester in that game and gave us a penalty for Glen Whelan to take...

This season he has only done one Villa match officiated our 2-1 victory Man City.
6 bookings in the game
Booked 3 players of ours including Martinez for dissent!

Officiated one West Ham match this season which they lost  3-0 away at forest and had a player sent off for two yellow cards.

In the past he has sent off Matty Cash for two yellows

Thought the Monaco ref was poor. Any contact meant a free-kick.

I thought he had a strange game, I thought he had a good first half, kept the cards in his pocket, let the game flow where he could but also played advantage properly, with 2-3 cases where he realised after a couple of seconds that there was no advantage and pulled it back. 2nd half he seemed to lose control a bit and started giving them a lot more free kicks for some pretty theatrical dives which just made the game really stop-start and stopped either side really getting any momentum, which obviously suited them more than us.

Carragher claiming the players are not making easy for Peter Bankes.
I'd argue that Bankes lacking authority and letting fouls like the blatant one on Tielemans by Kudus in midfield led to immense frustration as well as confusion of how physical can get!

[Footy-Vill]

I'm feeling Bankes has caused problems to players here due to his nature of officiating.

[PhilVill]

That was as bad a refereeing display as I've seen for a very long time. West ham lad should have walked, without doubt.

[TelfordVilla]

I have no idea which rules Peter fuckn Banks was choosing to use and which to ignore during that match. He obviously wasn't sure either. Shocking

[SoccerHQ]

Scandal he didn't send off Alvarez today. Even on a yellow he committed the most obvious bookable offence you can get and he just dismissed it.

[Ian.]

That ref was awful today.

[Hampshire Villa]

Banked was awful today. Poor judgement and total lack of consistency causes frustrated players which raises the temperature

Perfectly illustrated at half time when the whole ground booed him off.

[PaulWinch again]

Not usually one to go at the ref but he made that into a niggly game.

[Paul.S]

That’s as bad a refereeing performance as I’ve seen for some time. He didn’t have a clue what was going on, bottled a second yellow and missed some blatant fouls.
