We warned you all about Bankes ahead of the game against the Toon, after a succession of shocking decisions made by him had affected us in the past.

Hammers boss David Moyes would have been absolutely fuming with the standard of refereeing at the London Stadium yesterday afetrnoon.

Newcastle definitely got the rub of the green with the decisions. West Ham were on the wrong end of them all day, but don’t say we didn’t warn you…

Peter Bankes stinks out the place during West Ham vs Newcastle clash

The 41-year-old put in one of the worst performances you will ever see from a referee at the London Stadium yesterday afernoon.

And in typically West Ham fashion, pretty much every single decision went against us.

Bankes refused to hand Bruno Guimaraes a second yellow card after he tripped Jarrod Bowen in transition. He also failed to book Jamaal Lascelles for elbowing Lucas Paqueta in the head.

Then, the 41-year-old amazingly didn’t hand Miguel Almiron a yellow after he gestured for him to hand a Hammers player a booking – an offence that Emerson Palmieri committed earlier on in the match and was punished for with a yellow!

That was all inside the first-half! Then during the second period, Bankes awarded a free-kick to Newcastle after Paqueta fairly dispossessed Sandro Tonali. The Magpies then went on to score from that set play.

It was an all-round disaster-class from Peter Bankes during the West Ham vs Newcastle clash. You know how Liverpool seem to get certain referees banned from officiating their games? Yeah…we need to get on that bandwagon with Bankes.
