Defeat by a score 3-0 in “St. James Park” she met Fulham from Newcastle in its context 17th matchday of the Premier Leaguee with the guest coach, Marco Silvato be furious with the treatment his team received from match referee Samuel Barrett.
The Portuguese coach after the end of the match and in his statements to flash interviewlaunched an “attack” against the English referee, citing incompetence, but also for “seat” whistles which led him to send off Raul Jimenez with a straight red card in the first half.
In detail what he said:
“It was a disappointing afternoon. It was probably the quiet match Newcastle needed after a Champions League game. It’s not our fault.
Before the red card there was a clear elbow from Lascelles. He knew Jimenez was there and had his elbow extended. Until the 21st minute, the referee did not give us a single foul. For Newcastle every phase was a foul.
In these games the referee must have the ability to withstand the pressure of the crowd. The Premier League needs to appoint referees with experience and the ability to handle pressure. That was the best example of a referee who doesn’t have the ability to manage that pressure.”
