A bottle was thrown at Griffiths whilst he was taking a throw or a corner. He then stopped to pick it up and hand to the referee. The referee in question then booked him for time wasting! Whilst there are utter idiots in charge of football games and in administration of football matters, there will never be a change in the way football is run and officiated.

Shit decisions are here to stay

Fuck me mate, that is abysmal.

I didn't see it and I can only hope this gets highlighted somehow!!!

I didn't see it but I read about it - utterly ridiculous. It's the player's responsibility to highlight to the referee something that's thrown at him.

I saw it. An absolute joke of a decision.
He was taking a corner, bottles thrown, showed the ref, went to retake the corner, another bottle thrown, he picked it up and got booked while showing it to the ref.
You could not make it up.

If it was a glass bottle it was probably smuggled into the ground. It is just as likely he was booked for holding up the bottle of a non-uefa partner.

We had him 5 times last season including his cock ups against red scouse when Raheem was denied a penalty

Absolutely.

Mind you, the way things are going, I don't think there's a single one who can be trusted to referee impartially. It's not a case of which one is reasonably OK, it's the one who is the least worse.

Pen we were denied on a handball. Looked like it could have well been deliberate.
