Spot on!
Just seen it on Sky Sports and it was a 50/50 nothing tackle.
What a joke, im still wound up about lastnights game now lol

OK my two penneth. First time I've seen Blues this season and overall was impressed. The defence is so much better, Harding excellent, Mildenhall marshalled the defence very well and until the sending off we were edging it. I thought it could go 1-0 either way or be a nil nil until the sending off.
The sending off. From where i was in the West impossible to say. The Brighton player obscured whether it was studs up and from my angle it was impossible to say if Moussa wnt over the ball.
What i was sure about however was that Singh was very clear about what he saw and was clearly not happy and was going to send him off. I thought to myself that only those in the South Upper would be absolutely sure as they had the angle. Beefy is sure and he is usually IMHO right.
What I would say is if the tackle had been the other way round and Moussa had writhed then the fans would be baying for a sending off and saying Singh was an excellent ref if he had sent of a Brighton player.
Overall I thought he did OK. He tried to let the game flow but unfortunately the more experienced Brighton players knew how far to push it.
The sending off was crucial. We were immediately on the back foot. Sawyer was off the pace and unfortunately gave away the free kick for the goal. I'm sure he'll get better.

tbf to Mr Singh, i thought he had a good first half but in the second half, he had a mare (and I think we knew it!). The sending off was wrong, he was giving out yellow cards like confetti when a quick word in the players ear would have sufficed and I think that his performance was summed up when he got in the way of one of our attacks

So LordFootball - how can Singh have got it so wrong from so close ?
He should have been certain before sending off and maybe he needs an eye test as well as re-assesment ??
My opinion of his having a downer on SUFC has not changed. In fact this re-inforces it and your thinking of his performance lowers my estimation of your postings being unbiased [which correct me if wrong is the first principal of being a good referee]

Yes, with hindsight which is a wonderful thing, it did influence the game but at such an early stage sending them both off could have been seen by Mr Singh as counter productive because it could have wound the other players up more and we could have ended with 8 a side. As i said i would have sent them off and taken that chance but Mr Singh didnt and for that dictated the rest of the game was going to be a difficult one to control. He's only human after all.

You tell me, that's what we are all so wound up at!

Err, he was certain that's why he sent Moussa off. Whether he was right or wrong is a moot point.
I am sorry but Mr Singh having a downer on SUFC is a bit paranoid, I can't be arsed to check but I'd bet that we have won more games with him in charge than we have lost.

Ian, he was certain ! The card came out almost immediately. Can i ask for how long you have been refereeing to come to your decisions ??? Believe it or not referees are impartial and call the game as they see it, FAIRLY. Remember without these men in the middle you would not have a game to watch every week/fortnight.

I think the difference between the Revell challege and the Moussa one was that for the first he wasn't sure either about the challenge on Kuipers reaction which was so over the top as to be laghable. If you're done believe me you don't spring to your feet like Nureyev and start having a whinge. He went to the lino who gave his opinion and that was why the 2 yellows.
For the Moussa incident he was absolutely sure from the word go. He may have been wrong but you can only give what you see.

I heard that Forster was arrested by the police as he went down the tunnel after the game for allegedly inciting the supporters in the west stand. The police apparently have all his antics on CCTV footage, and they have also made a report about him to the ref.
Anyone know if this is true?

i was looking at the stats after the match which sort of backs up the fact singh is a ****.
southend fouls 13 with 4 yellows and a red.
brighton 21 fouls and 3 yellows.
forster is the biggest prick i have seen since thornton was here. constant fouls, diving, making gestures at the fans. the brighton site was saying that it was an excelent win with two fantastic goals and the moussa challenge was dreadfull but after seeing the highlights i see hardly and contact, both players went for the same ball, it wasnt with two feet so how on earth is it a red card.
it was singh who reffed the game pre season when hammell almost broke his leg and their bloke didnt get punished.
never thought i would ever say it but singh is as bad as trevor kettle.

Doesn't need to be. It just needs to be reckless. And it was.
I do have to say, once you become a referee you get a very different perspective on games when going as a supporter. I used to lay into refs all the time in my pre Man In Black days. I do get quite irate when I hear some of the comments from people because they've clearly not got a clue.
I did lose it twice with officals last year, because clearly they were not competent on the day. The linos for the home game v Yeovil who obvisouly werent watching the assaults on Macca and Francis and the ref at Orient who was abysmal.
I actually get more annoyed at the antics of players who make things out to be worse than they are or argue the indefensible. Forster did it last night claiming a corner when clearly it was anything but. I still seeth at the mention of Sean Thornton.
And do you really need to post in bold. It comes across as shouty and aggressive? Or is it part of the Irate personna?

No idea but if he was it was well deserved, ruddy r sole
Certainly not heard that but if true it's thoroughly deserved.

Some ridiculous comments on here about Singh, particularly from Irate Ian, who seems to think he has a grudge against us. I refer you to the pre-match thread from Mick - http://www.shrimperzone.com/vb/showthread.php?t=42646 - who confirms what I thought, that we've actually won the vast majority of games Singh has refereed at Roots Hall.
Yes, he had a poor game by his standards last night but the implication that he was biased against us is absurd.

Do not put words into my mouth.
I did state he seems to have preconceived ideas that we are a top of the foul play league side and that he has a "downer" on us.
I did not use the word biased, which is a stronger term for deliberately cheating. Others might think that, I could not possibly comment.

He was a total joke! Was stupidly pedantic with some things! The red card was an awful decision, if Moussas challenge was worthy of a red card, then brighton should have finished the game with 8 players! Nicky Forster is a ****! A woeful decision which decided the outcome of a match that we could well have gone on to win! I have had time to think about it now, and i am still furious! I think Moussa was having a great game, his best for the club! Ahhhh
