A KITCHEN - Birmingham v Ipswich

Terrible start from Kitchen. How on earth has Kitchen deemed a
foul by Kyogo on Greaves when he then slotted the ball home.
Some really strange decisions, including the Jack Clarke “foul”
already and we are only ten minutes in.

I thought it was a foul, bit soft maybe but Kyogo jumped into
him with no eyes for the ball. Don Goodman saying he needs to
“get a grip” after 8 minutes is ridiculously over the top

Defender was pushed in the back. Subtle and the Premiership has
distorted what is or isn't a foul but when you are under the
ball, unable to brace yourself and someone pushes you off, imho
it is a foul.
There was an earlier foul which did confuse me and which I felt
was wrong.
Now we are getting players falling over on the merest touch.
This is going to be difficult.

Agreed - it seems Kitchen has a habit of disallowing goals for
very soft and often dubious fouls.

no - its difficult because he’s made it difficult - random free
kicks for nothing then more obvious fouls missed - no
consistency whatsoever - disallowed goal is wrong, simple as
that - not a foul, normal contact - very poor - if this is the
best SG2 can come up with then we have problems

Don Goodman is simply awful. I don’t know what sort of agenda he
has against Kitchen - yes, he might’ve not had the best game so
far, but Don simply finds every way to hate against him. It’s
unacceptable.

He’s usually pretty accurate and thoughtful in his comments, but
I think tonight he sounds like he’s been on a liquid dinner of
the strong variety..

The first 20/25 minutes was not a refereeing performance I’d
associate with Mr Kitchen. It was very inconsistent to say the
least. Some small nudges being given and then not given. Then
what looked 50/50s were given as fouls. Probably the one
positive I’d take away from that half was he used advantages
very well.
The disallowed Birmingham goal - it may look very soft on a
replay but I’d agree the defender was settled under the ball
looking to head away before an arm in the neck from Kyogo. As
already said, subtle but probably a foul, just.

He's given a lot of soft fouls, but the one for the disallowed
goal wasn't soft, the attacker just jumped into the defender and
that was a clear foul.
