       Keith Stroud - Leicester v Sunderland

       It’s quite an achievement to have the crowd singing your name to
       personally insult you when that team hasn’t been in the league
       you ref in for nearly a decade.
       Anyway, not his finest evening. Inconsistencies, inconsistencies
       and even more inconsistencies. What was a foul? Nobody knew.
       We’ve had some decent SG2 performances at Leicester so far this
       season. This wasn’t one. I haven’t watched the game back but I’m
       certain Sunderland should’ve had a penalty at the end of the
       first half from where I was sat. It should’ve been an easy game
       to referee and he made a right old pig’s ear of it.

       Watched the game as a neutral and thought he was pretty good,
       there was. One poor decision and that was the non award of a
       Penalty kick to Sunderland just before the break but from his
       angle it most definitely was not obvious, it was disappointing
       that he got no help from his assistant who he looked at for help
       and who had a clear view, the Leicester fans embarrassed
       themselves after an incident of handbags which he actually dealt
       with quite well despite an attempt of intimidation by
       vestergaard , I was pleased to see iheanacho yellow carded for a
       very childish display of sarcastic clapping after being pulled
       up (correctly) for a foul . I felt he played several good
       advantages in an attempt to keep things moving  and also didn’t
       fall for anyone going down softly shall we say , all in all a
       good display.

       Was at the game and completely agree, this is somehow a corner

       That angle is brilliant for the watching public. How on earth
       would you expect a referee or an AR to give that from where they
       would have been? As the attacker moves slightly in field, the
       ball continues to run, which from the opposite side and 15/18
       yards away will look like a deflection - hence, the corner! If
       there was VAR you might just get that one

       To be fair that’s less of a penalty than it looked from my
       position in the stand. I thought it was a stone waller, now it’s
       almost a stone waller.

       Below average evening for Mr Stroud, missed a penalty for
       Sunderland at the end of the first half for a foul on Neil then
       missed a penalty for Leicester in the second half, instead
       awarding a free kick despite the foul continuing for three or
       four yards into the penalty area.
       All yellow cards correct.
       Foul detection was strange, let a lot of holding go in the first
       half and early parts of the second half, which is fine, until he
       then decided to start giving fouls for every single bit of
       contact. Made it look very messy and I’m not sure anyone
       understood where his tolerance level sat.
       Also played some very strange advantages. I’m all for letting
       the game flow, but he was continually trying to play advantage
       when there was clearly nothing to be gained.
       Experienced referee but I’ve certainly seen him perform much
       better than that.

       It was a penalty all day long .I don't blame the ref (and he's
       certainly not a favourite of mine)because from his position it
       would have been a guess but the assistant should have seen it.
       It's about time assistants actually assisted the referees a bit
       more. I know it's difficult with the crowd being right on their
       shoulder but too many of them seem to take the easy option and
       leave the man in the middle to cop the flak.

       I agree with you yfc54 but the assistant can only act on the
       instructions given to him by the match referee prior to kick
       off.

       Just because I've seen it mentioned twice here, advantage is not
       awarded "to let the game flow," it is awarded so as not to
       penalize the team who have been fouled. Flow of the game is not
       a consideration for advantage.
