M ATKINSON - Fulham v Watford
« on: Sat 22 Sep 2018 13:22 »
Not impressed by Fulham in the slightest in the first half, and Atkinson hasn't been much better. Fosu-Mensah should have gone for his high challenge had Atkinson seen it. A few free kicks given against Fulham where the attacker was backing in and falling to the floor, and possibly a penalty when Mitrovic and Kabasele collided when Vietto shot in goal.
Atkinson is usually reliable when it comes to allowing advantages, but pulled it back when Vietto was fouled and Schurrle was clean through

Mawson deserved his card for his challenge.

I would expect better from one of our better officials in the PL.

Looked a red card in real time and the replay confirmed it.

Not Atkinson's finest day although he's certainly one of the better referees generally.

Is this the one where they showed his view was obstructed?

Just seen it on MotD and was of the same impression.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

We will remember them.”  Laurence Binyon

It should have been a red card, but Atkinson had no chance of seeing it from the way he was blocked off.

Perhaps he got advice from the AR.  I thought it interesting that in this incident and the one involving Oliver at Cardiff, various pundits made the valid point that the fouls can look much worse in slo-mo and stills. Seeing them once at full speed, it can be more difficult to assess their severity.

The challenge on Gungodan sounded worse on the commentary than it did on viewing, though I don't think that there could have been much complaint had it resulted in a red card.  If the challenge had hit the standing leg rather than one that wasn't grounded the outcome could have been very different.

Below par by Atkinson, has to be a RC had he seen that challenge.  Some other poor decisions affected both teams, for Fulham notably stopping playing for a DFK denying a great advantage with Schurrle seemingly through on goal and was expecting a penalty for Mawson's challenge on Hughes in the first half.

I've not seen it but did it perhaps fall into the category where he has seen the incident but not the whole incident? We've all seen those decisions where the close up or a different angle has shown studs being scraped down a shin or whatever has been missed that 'complete' the incident and turn it from a yellow to red, had that part also have been seen. Maybe it wasn't and I'm just chatting rubbish, wouldn't be the first time and I doubt it will be the last, but just asking if that was perhaps the case here?
