Fans have slammed referee Jeremy Simpson’s decisions after denying Fulham a penalty when Neeskens Kebano fell in the box after Callum O’Dowda crossed him, Fulham boss Scott Parker calls for VAR, and many said the official was the worst they had ever seen…
O'Dowda even puts his hands up afterward in the classic "I totally didn't touch him, ref" gesture that confirms he fouled him. What an amazing non-call.

If you're going to insist that wasn't a penalty … which, yanno, is insane — then you have to book Kebano for diving. Which he didn't do. Because it was a clear-as-day foul in the box.
Brutal. Would have likely salvaged something from a really frustrating day.

Look at the way the Bristol centerback hoofs the ball away in disgust. He knows it’s a penalty. What a letoff.

I think the FA should have placed VAR in the lower leagues first before the Prem because the officiating is horrific in comparison, I honestly have no clue how he didn’t give a pen, just bewildering

Defender boots it away like he knows it’s a pen

Patrick Downes: I’ve been going to football for nearly 60 years and have NEVER see such a disgrace to refereeing
Graham Laing: Worst referee I’ve ever seen. Beyond incompetence. I hope someone is checking his bank accounts……
Barry Clements: Disgrace of a ref, shocking decision for the non penalty at the end
Vince Newman: There were too many wrong decisions today, including crucial ones that were so straightforward, it is just unbelievable.
Keith Sapsed: In 50 years of attending football matches it is by far the worst refereeing performance I have ever had the misfortune to witness in fact in was on the verge of being corrupt!
Tamara Dragadze: Terrible and dishonest refereeing. The penalty should have been given. Disregarded rules— with the player on the ground inside the box, if NOT a penalty then why no card for “diving”? The referee was caught out with this. Consistently in Bristol’s favour with a kind of impunity that should not be tolerated.
