It wouldn't surprise me to learn that, once he had seen the re run of the game including the incidents that sent him into meltdown, he has spoken to Michael Oliver to apologise. Bilic himself said he has always rated the official. If he has done that then I would hope, and expect, the disciplionary panel to take that into consideration. After all is it really so much worse to throw a microphone to the ground than to get into the face of the fourth official, which is something Bilic did not do but is something we see every weekend.
Disagree whiskeyman, there were two decisions key to the outcome of the match.
WBA first goal- most definately a foul on fegoulie, Brunt went through him and never touched the ball.
WBA - second goal. Even if it was a throw to them the throw was taken 20yds further up the pitch than it should have been. The ref was telling him to move back and was not strong enough to deal with it. If it was taken further up the pitch there was less chance of us conceding the corner.
The disallowed goal probably correct in the end but linesman was flaging for offside so no wonder why everyone was confused.
As for snodgrass penalty, not a pen for me but seen them given.
Antonio penalty where he has an airkick, definately penalty watch foster pull him back by his shoulder just as he was about to kick ball.
Sorry but all the major decisions in the game went against Us and I agree with Slaven the ref was poor and very weak.
It’s not what you do it is the way that you do it.
