 Ipswich 3 Swansea City 0 : What a shocking mess ! 28th Feb 2026 18:11Two defensive errors and Swansea players still in their sleeping bags at the start of this fixture lost any chance of taking anything from this game. Referee, Anthony Backhouse added his usual mismanagement of a Swans game which we mentioned pre match, and all together it was an another sleepwalk back to the days of Russell Martin.  1

Its a mystery has to how so many refs turn our penalty shouts down, definite pullback on Stamenic not given, not sure on that first shout today.
But we deserved what we got today, shocking performance 1st and 2nd half, 2nd did improve, but slightly missed the last 10 mins and went out for a pint. |  | | |

Both looked penalties for shirt pulls on the replays but I didn’t think either were in real time so I can see why they weren’t given.
The Stamenic one and the Vipotnik free kick against the bar were at 3-0 anyway and wouldn’t have made much difference | | | |

And here’s the proof. We don’t make these claims "frivolously" they have to be documented and recorded with evidence that on the balance of probability raise questions.
 Swans focus : Anthony Backhouse : Is he fit to referee ? 1st Mar 2026 10:50When we see certain officials tied to Swansea City games it’s only fair we look back on their performances when officiating other Swansea City fixtures. Anthony Backhouse is one of those who always fills us with dread. His game management is often flawed and on far too many occasions he has determined the outcome of Swansea football matches. 1
