Jeremy Simpson - West Brom v Millwall
DIR By: Doombar
Date: April 1, 2023, 4:05 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Not a very convincing performance from Mr Simpson.
The first half went without much incident, but the second half
was a different matter.
For about 25-30mins he appeared to have lost the ability to make
simple decisions.
Simple easy 'expected' free kicks for both teams were ignored,
which lead to increasing frustration from both sets of players.
Why he didn't award these bread and butter FK's is a mystery,
especially as they were run of the mill 'expected' ones.
This was the sort of game where you needed to be on top of your
game and react to everything, which he didn't.
As a result several YC's were issued that in my opinion were -
whilst possibly justified - as a result of his lack of action
earlier.
Millwall had at least 2 very credible appeals for penalties
ignored.
West Brom also had a penalty appeal ignored with offside wrongly
being given instead.
The ball had been played by a Millwall player to a West Brom
player who was indeed beyond the second last defender - this was
quite evident to all in close proximity.
The assistant would not have known this as he was the other side
of the pitch and I am sure he would have been asking on the
comms as to who last played the ball. This advice would have
been given by Mr Simpson, who was close to play.
It appears he advised his assistant wrongly to give the offside.
This then avoided the need to make the possible penalty
decision.
Overall, not a very good day at the office for Mr Simpson.
