@NoelMooney13 @sgorio @BarryTownUnited It’s all good pointing out the difference between factual and subjective decisions but if you don’t review and sort out these subjective ones then VAR loses trust from everyone.

Btw I am an advocate for VAR which is why I understood your comments to Trefelin about the penalty

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@NoelMooney13 @sgorio @BarryTownUnited You don’t mean to tell me you watch that clip and interpret that the defender was pushed?

Subjective decision like this should be reviewed by the official to give them the opportunity to review what they have given.

There is no way he’s giving that as a push when he reviews.

@ardal_watcher @PorthcawlTownFC What happened?

Isn’t it a no win situation for the referee though? Dishes out cards and he’s criticised, gives a little bit of leeway and it goes pear shaped.

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@TreforestFC We don’t see enough praise for referees these days so well done to you as a club for put out that message - especially when it must of been a mental game with 15 cards!

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

Cracking game!!

It had a bit of everything

[Pure Swansea F.C. @PureSwanseaFC]

Full Time

Pure Swansea 4-4 Pontypridd United

A great contest tonight at Swansea Bay Sports Park which sees both teams remain unbeaten!

Goals scored by Daniel Ingram, Kyle Copp (2) and Casey Coughlin!

Euros for verbals rather than actions? If not then officials got questions to answer here!

[Sgorio @sgorio]

Coch yr un i Kane Owen ac Euros Griffiths! 😲🟥

@trefelinbgc's Kane Owen and @AmmanfordAFC's Euros Griffiths both get sent off. After a lengthy VAR review, Griffiths’ red card stands.

@luke_d_1987 Sounds as if he needs reporting and reviewing by FAW. Sorry to hear what’s happened lads, extra kick in the teeth that it’s Welsh Cup 🤢

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@nelsoncavsafc @TERVfootball @FFardre Are you guys aiming to go for promotion again this season?

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@SWPLInfo @AFCWattstown @PencoedAthBGC @BridgendSt What has happened at @aber_valley_fc?

Assuming they’ve been scalped by other clubs throwing money about and as a proper club are trying their best to get through it without giving up on their principles of being a sustainable community club.

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

A few interesting results yesterday in Welsh Cup QR2 - what result was the biggest upset in your opinion?

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@luke_d_1987 So blue is defending and orange attacking? Blue slows down to block attacker from wiping out keeper and he gives a penalty?

Ouch!!

Free kick situation sounds awful too - must be fuming to be knocked out of cup with that

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@Ref_Daz87 @NoelMooney13 Assistant yesterday said same as you. Nothing against the assistant he was excellent and as you say it’s not his fault he’s not had the opportunity to buy.

Terrible image created by FAW.

Friday night - Two were in Hummel (Joe & Aaron) with Jack being in Macron - looked awful.

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@NoelMooney13 is this still not sorted?

Went to a tier 2 game last night and today, Assistant referees wearing different kit to referee

It looks messy and unprofessional and that’s before we look at grassroots officials being unable to buy kit

[Darren Hales @Ref_Daz87]

Second weekend of FAW cup competitions and still no sight of the new @hummel1923 referee kit to buy. Only the official kit as of 1st July For a major kit manufacturer it’s very very poor. Despite Macron being incredibly poor quality at least it was available to start the season

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@NoelMooney13 I can see that you liked my post, presumably to acknowledge that it’s still an issue, thanks for acknowledging

Do the FAW have a solution for those match officials like Darren and the ones I’ve seen over weekend to be able to get kit soon?

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@shaunknoxDiogo How come we aren’t seeing you around on ardal game much these days Shaun?

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@toprefgeorge @PaulBatcup @FAWales @ArdalSouthern You are trolling surely George 😂😂

[SouthWalesGroundHopper @SWGroundHopper]

@matt_the_jack @PaulBatcup @FAWales @ArdalSouthern This isn’t grassroots football mind Matthew

If the striker has a stinker then he’s on bench next game

This referee will continue to receive games without a thought of what he’s missed today 🤷🏻‍♂️

Clubs don’t expect perfection but there has to be accountability and improvement
