Did Phil Dowd take a bribe?

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.

I'm as biased as they come but I fail to see where any shirt pull occured, especially as Campbell ran in front of Perch and the clash happened immediately. It was clumsy from Perch, got caught wrong side of him.

And offside? Absolutely nowhere near, he was 2 or 3 yards onside when the pass was made.

Both goals were down to very poor defending. Why Wes left his man for the first one is ridiculous, Cohen went to close the shot down, if Wes had stayed where he was he wouldn't have passed it out wide. We couldn't do much about the fluke deflection straight to their player who scuffed it against his own foot and over Camp when it would have gone straight into his arms otherwise. We're due a bit of luck ourselves.

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!!

That was never a penalty, sorry but Baptiste brought his arms in to his body and if his arms weren't there it would have hit him, accidental handball, there was a reason only Anderson appealed it.

I dont see if we have championship ref's for the whole season then they give us prem officials to come and hamper our chances!Am I right in thinking he will be officiating the 2nd leg aswell?

Spot on - very clumsy and poor positional play from Perch. If it was offside, so be it, but talk of a pull from Campbell is very generous.

He was that bad some pissed up Forest fan behind us thought he was Durso and kept shouting Durso your this and that all through the game :p

ODowd just loves being on TV. He`s never fit enough to ref at this level nevermind the Prem the fat git. The studs up challenge on McKenna could`ve broke his leg yet they got a free kick???

His arms were already by his side/next to his body. If he wanted to move them out of the way, he could have raised them up or put them behind his back. The ball was going to the SIDE of him and he twisted round and put his arms in the way and blocked it.

Dowd sent off Louis Jean and Stern John againest Coventry back in 2001 which was very harsh. As for Tuesday we have Mark "Got my hair back" Clattenberg who sent Dawson off againest Sheff Utd in the play-offs back in 2003. Why can't we have refs from the football leage than having Prem refs that want to be centre of attension all the time.

Agree with what you've said.

Seems a fair few people need to remove their Forest blinkers.

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

The biggest decision out the lot was the second yellow card or lack of. That could have easily have been a red on its own. Andersen had almost gone past him and would have had a clear shot on goal. Did anyone notice when he went to book Mckenna but brought his red card out first but quickly stuck it back in his pocket??? What a bellend.

Also the thing that I noticed and i know that earnshaw did it once and cohen did it twice I think I was try and pass the ball to Dowd. Surely he must have realised that wearing practically the same coloured shirts as us would cause problems.

i commented on that to my son as the match kicked off , i thought one of our lot was standing next to the blackpool players as they were about to kick off then realised it was the ref, i said he should be wearing a green shirt or something , ridiculous to be clashing so badly .

I'll say again what I said last night... Why the funk would you dive when you could score instead? The red card at the end was less of a red than some other tackles. Sick of premier referees being shit for us

Premiership refs have always been shite, no matter which division they officiate. After crap is always crap aint it? Maybe we need a homer like Howard Webb.

He's filled out has ode Dowd. He barely kept up with play, to add to his shit decision making.

It took Dowd an age to get the red card out his back pocket due to his fat arse in his tight shorts.
