Will that ref become a QPR legend?

[easthertsr]

Right, I've had enough of this, the Ref got EVERY big decision right today,It was a penalty, both red cards were correct decisions, and Fat Frank went down too easily for their shout. Isn't it great to see a chel**** manager all bitter at the final whistle? Chelsea ,Chelsea what's the score?

[Rebel R's]

Like to admit I was wrong with the penalty,while HH defo made a meal of it,any other player would have done the same,so YES if was a penalty( seen several replays since),still think the first sending off was very soft but that apart ref was fair,so hands up on that one(penalty).

Reckon the Kevin Galen song should be rewritten as Chris Foy:

His name is Chris Foy he wears a magic hat,
he refs for Queens Park Rangers he's such a lovely chap,
he books with his left arm, he books with his right,
and when we're playing chelsea he gives cards all fkin night.

Just a joke of course, but imagine if it caught on.

i still dont understand why the ref stopped play when mereles fell over and then handled the ball. we had the ball and had more men going forward than they had in defence, why not play on???

[QPRDave]

He gave us a penalty that wasn't,he sent off their player that didn't deserve even a yellow(first one),he gave them nothing,he might as well wore a QPR shirt,he should be on every QPR fans christmas card list.To be fair today we got very lucky today,and even against 9 men we rode our luck

It was a pen!!!

Hanson and Dixon said the ref had a good game and that the knuckle-draggers have no-one to blame but themselves.

The Times today uses the term "cheating thigishness" when referring to Chelsea's performance.

IMO the atmosphere and hostility got under their skin and they lost it.

Sorry Rebel Rs admit didnt look.

Complete tosh! It was a penalty and it was a sending off! We rode our luck a bit in the second half, but the ref wasn't bad at all.

Totally agree. A soft penalty maybe and Helguson played for it,although QPR don't usually get them, but it was a foul. It was very sinmilar to the one Kuyt won against Eboue in the 12th minute of stoppage time in last season's fixture.

The sendings off were also correct SWP was going past Bosingwa and Terry was not in a position to stop him from shooting.

Not read this entire thread but in response to the initial post in this thread.......

What are you on?

1) The penatly was a stone wall penalty, could be deemed a little soft but still 100% penalty.
2) SWP was on the way to goal, he was goal side of the full back and was brought down so by the letter of the law red card 100% correct.
3) Drogba 2 footed very dangerous tackle 100% red card.

In fact if anything Meireles, JT and David Louis both could also of seen red. Hill could of been booked very early but just got a ticking off by the ref. Other than that the ref was excellent baring one other mistake which he put his hands up to the whole stadium and apologised about when he stopped Derry playing the advantage in the first half because of Meireles slipping and slapping the ball with his hand. He should of then booked Meireles which would of meant his kick out at Faurlin in the 2nd half would of made him see red too. Luiz made a meal of the scuffle with Heider and was not a penalty and Lampard tripped over his gut to which Fitz Hall was simply pulling his top down to save his blushes!

Not a bias opinion in any way shape or form. We have had about 4 almost stone wall penalty decisions turned down this season and had a pathetic one given against us when we played Villa. How you can even come out with this really amazes me. Are you really a QPR supporter?

Quality summary

[Bluehoop]

Indeed Dazzer has summed the whole thing up quite perfectly

[Pal]

As far as I could see the only thing the ref got wrong all game was not playing advantage when Moreles handballed it, and not giving him a card for the deliberate handball.

As I said mate three reads up. The ref for a change was very good. Chelsea will say he was bias but all the big decision he was spot on 100%. Our first one this season.

Can't clubs appeal "straight reds" if they feel aggreived (but they can't appeal a sending off for two yellows)? If I'm right, I wonder if CFC will back up all their mouthy blather by actually appealing to get cards rescinded or quietly accept they haven't got any reasonable grounds to do so(and risk copping an increased ban)?
