Did Phil Dowd take a bribe?

He was offered one, but completely missed it
I don't know, but I bet Charlie Adam and Ian Holloway will be at the top of his Christmas Card list.
About the only sensible thing he did was not sending of Blackstock after the altercation with their right-back, when the crowd was baying for a red!

I've not seen such a one-sided display of refereeing since the infamous Anderlecht game.

I was a penalty.
But Wilson and McKenna should never have been yellows.
2-1, and they probably deserved it, we'll have our work cut out now.

The reason you've not seen the "was he offside" view is because he was offside when passed the ball.

he knew adam was one away and i don't think he would have booked him for anything he gave them the freekick when he went into mckenna studs showing he bottled giving evatt a second yellow when he realised he would have been sending him off 2

I agree he's shit, but the Blackstock non-sending off was quite sensible, and not sending Perch off when he could have done having been a Carragher most of the game... but wilson's tackle was world class, useless blind twunt

What could he have sent Blackstock off for? Pushing? If thats the case that Coleman did it like 3 times..

It wasn't a penalty. Watch the replay very closely...Campbell tugs Perch's shirt which causes him to stumble into him resulting in the penalty. Crafty and fast thinking... But also cheating.

Can't argue much with the penalty but Dowd was utter f***ing shite. Any touch on a Blackpool player was a foul, didn't happen the same way.
Adam studded McKenna in the back, foul to them! Adam chops down Anderson, nothing. Evatt elbows Anderson in the face, second yellow card offence... nothing!
Numerous times he was in the way of play, out of position and behind play. The free kick which led to their first goal, he was behind play, no way could he have seen whether or not Cohen won the ball. McKenna, Wilson - two great tackles wrongly given as fouls
Anderson shot, Blackpool player moves his hands in the way of the ball and blocks it - penalty.
Completely inept performance. f*** off you fat twat.

I personally thought it was a pen but I also thought the Wilson tackle was good. Adam should have been yellow carded for dangerous play on Mckenna, and Evatt should have been sent off for a second yellow.
I think it was a home team refereeing performance and hope that this is repaid on Tuesday and if it is Blackpool just accept that these things happen.

The mans a disgrace - didn't have the balls to card Adam or send of Evatt, just like he didn't have the balls to send of Vidic in the Villa game. Whats the point of having the ref there if he isn't going to be impartial and run the match by the laws of the game!!!

Okay Dowd didn't have a good game but he wasn't as bad as people were making out.
The Blackstock/Coleman incident - Blackstock deserved a yellow and it was a probably a bit harsh yellow carding Coleman as the lad didn't do much at all in comparison,
Penalty - Was an awfuly clumsy tackle by Perch and was definatley a penalty
Charlie Adam - I think there was one challenge he committed were he could have been yellowed and that would have been harsh.
Evatt - A second yellow would have been harsh, it was a foul but not a booking.
He did make mistakes with the Wilson and McKenna yellows both of which were ridiculous but he didn't make any mistakes that could have changed the outcome of the game.

Come on lets be realistic with the Blackstock incident - Blackstock kicked the ball away and started it all and lost his head.
And the studs in challenge on McKenna, while the ref gave the wrong decision, it wasn't a booking but a 50/50 which McKenna was penalised for winning.
But at the end of the day Dowd didn't make a decision that changed the outcome of the game directly, and I have seen far worse and a lot better referees at Forest games this season.

What the f*** are yo on? First of all Coleman bundled Blackstock over without touching the ball, he was giving Blackpool fouls for that kind of minimal contact all game long, then Coleman pushed Blackstock over first. I never understand this notion that that the instigator should get away scott free because someone retaliates.
And did you even see the Adam challenges? Studs up on McKenna, who won the ball, Adam's studs went into McKenna's back... he gave THEM the free kick, which was utterly moronic, especially as he was little more than TWO YARDS away from it. Then Adam went and chopped Anderson down when he was past him, just like what McKenna/Wilson/Earnshaw did, but still didn't book him!
Evatt, he put his elbow in Anderson's face - that's yellow card all day long, I'm not sure what you could argue against that.
And, typically, he booked a couple of our players for arguing, and rightly so, when Wilson won the ball with an outstanding tackle.
So many times he was behind the play, in the way and in bad positions (three times he got in the way of our players near the touchline... why the f*** is he anywhere near the touchline?!). Look at the free kick they scored the first from... probably a foul but Cohen might have got something on the ball (they didn't show it many times) but Dowd was directly BEHIND it, even if Cohen had played the ball cleanly, he wouldn't have seen it. Not in any position to guess that.
Arguably we could have had a penalty when the Blackpool defender moved his hands into the way of Anderson's shot... seen them given.

No. Coleman repeatedly held Dexter, then shoved him over.
As for the penalty, why have we not seen the "was he offside" view...
...cos he was offside when played the ball.
But -hey- when you're Sky, who needs impartiality?
Bastards.

It was definitely a penalty.
That said, Dowd was f*cking clueless as usual.

Could tell he was a premiership ref couldn't you? Favoured the home side all the way through and stopped the game for the smallest of things, usually when we were picking up some momentum. And in my opinion, no penalty as you may have seen this somewhere above my post but when I saw it, perch was definately pulled into making a clumsy challenge, his tackle would have been perfect if his shirt wasn't tugged. It was also offside aswell so should just have been a freekick to the reds.

He should've given a penalty against Baptiste when he handle inside the box. If you watch the replay he moves both arms in front of his body and controls the ball with his right forearm - should've been a penalty.
Also, if they would've scored from the freekick given against Wilson it would've caused a riot!!
