James Collins put West Ham ahead on the south coast within minutes but Dan Gosling levelled before half-time before setting up former Chelsea defender Nathan Ake to put the Cherries ahead.
Late in the second half goalkeeper Asmir Begovic slipped on a routine clearance to allow Arnautovic a simple leveller nine minutes from time.
Arnautovic thought he had won the game with another goal a minute from time, but Bournemouth netted a controversial late goal with Callum Wilson’s arm sparking a debate between officials before they (incorrectly) allowed the effort despite an offside in the build-up and handball!!!
West Ham left the south coast feeling robbed!
are the fa going to investigate b madley refereeing,if not fans will continue saying refs are taking bribes
They need to charge Wilson who pretty much admitted he knew it was handball when interviewed on bbc.
Bias. Cheats , don’t know about bribes but using their powers to achieve their bias is corrupt ! It needs addressing and needs referees to be held accountable and banned , fined and relegated never to return to the football league , school football level at best ! Madley cheated today ! What he did was illegal if I’m right in saying that , the linesman decision should have stood !๐ค
After what happened to Lanzini this is another kick in the nuts.What is the point of linesmen?.Madley either shivered it as the crowd and their players got on at him or he cheated in their favour.Robbed he should be hauled over the coals for this.
I can guarantee the ref and lino have already made a pact to protect each other ?
Are the mikes recording their conversation ? We the paying public need to hear it but the FA will cover it up lol!
What this league needs is some southern refs ffs not predominantly northerners ! Bias ones!!
What happened to the bias decision league we used to see ? The one where the mancs are on top and us at the bottom ?
Hugh is there any way of the club persuing retrospective action. Madley talked his linesman into changing his mind to appease the home crowd I believe.
More and more these days refs get it so wrong but never have to do a post match press conference to explain their actions or decisions. When you are getting such basic and clear cut decisions so badly wrong, affecting the possible future of a club, you should be publicly accountable. They are so wrapped in cotton wool its a joke and most of them are worse prima donnas than the players.
Funny that ? Madley gave extra time in the Crystal palace game that got them a last minute equalizer ? And today the same ? am I reading to much in this fair and just ref? or does he just think there privileged to have a stadium paid by the tax payers, that this is my way of evening things up with me as a tax payer ??
Several things here…
1- Why six minutes added when the most added time should have been in first half (kouyate aggression only four minutes added) ?
2- Why was the aggression on Kouyate only yellow ? Clear cut case of red. It’s the rule. Regardless of the intent, although the replay clearly shows the defender does nothing to take his foot lower when he realises he is sticking his studs in Kouyate’s face. Mane got a direct red for less than that at the beginning on the season.
3- The supposed foul leading to the equalizer was not one. Obiang got the ball. clean tackle. Then the Bourn player throws himself on the ground.
4- Zabaleta wasn’t good today, but every time he got close to an opponent, the opponent went to ground. Then Zaba gets a yellow for a mild contact. Minutes later, he gets clubbed without the ball and nothing. Two measures and two standards ?
5- Why yellow for Ginge ? Doesn’t touch the guy ? At most, simple free kick.
6- Why yellow for Cresswell ? Just another free kick like you give tons of on a regular match.
7- The worst of all… Linesman is firm, doesn’t lower his flag. He has seen something to invalidate the goal, he is much better placed than the horrible ref. Yet Madley goes to talk to him for over a minute. I ref myself, and I can tell you you don’t need all that time to make a decision on a play like this. You do if there is a raffle and you need to decide who you are sending off. This is a simple “what did you see”? “attacker uses his arm to score and is offside”. “okay, I’ll go with that”. End of conversation.
He bent the rules dunlopio ! He’s cheated ! Not the first time with us , there a few who have issues with west ham ! Hope we don’t get relegated by one or two points ! If these clowns want to be celebrities then someone is going to pay them a visit one day ! The FA Need to act and set up a independent ref watch who can dish out penalty’s or remove from their books !
Without the FA,s interfering ? Its a closed shop open for abuse !!! Paul parker made a statement today about his pre match observation about madley in which he basically called him out and expected this type of performance ? Let’s hope motd pick up on him and say as much ! NAA no chance ! Hartson and the Everton bloke just fell short of calling him a cheat on final result BBC, such was the disbelief in what had just happened , he cheated us to stop us taking 3 points and up the league ! Simple , I will now only ever call this bloke THE WAKEFIELD W@ฯker. ๐
I dunno if this was one valuable point gained that just might see us stay up or two lost today, only time will tell I guess. Based upon another really poor defensive showing, we did well to get a point, but when you score three away from home you expect all three.
Two very clear issues from today however – 1. We cannot defend. Every time a ball came in they looked like scoring. Our full backs are a joke. 2. The officials are shyte and do us no favours. This one looks and acts like Sherlock Holmes brother – Fekkin madness in his eyes and he is quickly turning into another Clattenburg – The game is more about him and he needs to be centre of attention. If Lanz got a two game ban for diving, this excuse for an anus should get ten for gross incompetence. And the Lino needs his balls to drop so he can stand up to Sherlocks brother and say oui, dick head, you ain’t changing this decision so just give offside and get on with it you complete ****.
I’ll sign off before I move onto our defending I think!
Still fuming maybe we didn’t play well but Arnie got that win from us & Madley stole it. Difference btwn 14th & 17th & confidence.
They should of been down to 9 men by halftime w Francis’s boot to face RED then King punches Obiang in Face RED
We saw Marko retrospectively banned for Elbow
Then offside & handballed in Wilson even bloody admits to it in post match. Linesman was there Madkey was 20 yards behind why overrule your linesman.
Wilson Deception Lanzini gets banned for that
Francis King & Wilson should face reteoo bans & Madley should be suspended & investigated.
.
Was appauling referring & obviously biased & not first time we had issues w Madley.
He shouldn’t be a Ref in the PL
