Don't know why the ref didn't see it. He was ten yards away and looking straight at it. Maybe there were one or two bodies between him and the elbow?

Right in front of the Saints bench.
They must have thought it was a red because he never came back out.
His head completely went. He wasn’t like that when he was playing for us?

The referee should also be forced to come and clean our bogs after the Charlton game.

Jeepers that’s a tad drastic, but ok!

The referee, linesman and fourth official were close to that incident and none of them saw it?
All three should get at least a three game ban as well.

 

[Swansong]

Makes you wonder if there is history between Cullen and Downes??

 

[Swanjaxs]

A three-match ban is all very good. But because of total incompetence from the referee, linesman, and fourth official, it has probably cost us three points and maybe a side a tilt at the Premier League next season.

Are they looking on the Woods tackle as well........again not seen by a blinkered ref!

 

[Smurph]

Any word on what disciplinary action the officials are facing?

 

[ABSwan]

Plus the fact that Widdell was given a yellow too after Downes set upon him

Offence. We are not (yet) Americans!

Whoops sorry. I thought it didn’t look right.

I'm afraid that ship has sailed. In its other context, I abhor the eradication of the word 'attack' or 'attacking'. I stand by my view that despite being sometimes likeable - though less so since 2015 - yanks ruin everything they touch, from food to football.

Personally feel the EFL should compensate clubs for each time the officials performance is sub standard.

That will soon force them to get their act together.

Can you imagine Southampton get promoted by two points?

It is all very flawed. Imagine, say, we were in contention against Ipswich for auto and now as well as robbing us on the day, they would deprive us by benefitting Ipswich. It's impossible to avoid unintended consequences. Ditto if a player is sent off in the last minute. The team offended against is not the team that benefits.

I guess the only answer is VAR...but only for foul play and penalties, not for analysing the arse out of every goal.

Mistakes happen, that’s understandable.

These type of errors aren’t mistakes, they are incompetence. It is completely unacceptable

Take our penalty against QPR.
