The best jokes after dodgy penalty decision in Northern Ireland’s defeat to Swiss

Decided World Cup qualification play-off first leg.

The referee and his team won't want to hear the jokes after their dodgy penalty decision in Northern Ireland's 0-1 defeat to Switzerland
The assistant referee was no help

Northern Ireland’s attempt to reach the World Cup next year hit a stumbling block when the referee in the the first leg of their qualification play-off against Switzerland awarded a controversial second-half penalty to the visitors.

Corry Evans was deemed to have handled inside the area, despite the player appearing to have turned his back on the ball at a lively Windsor Park on Thursday night.

Defender Ricardo Rodríguez scored the spot-kick, the Swiss went on to win 0-1 and take a valuable away goal into the next game.

Furious fans made their feelings known on Twitter and these are the best of the jokes after the dodgy penalty decision in Northern Ireland’s World Cup play-off defeat to Switzerland:

#GAWA Referee has been trying to do Northern Ireland from the off. Refereeing like he has a lifetime supply of Toblerone coming his way

Northern Ireland fans believe the referee might be a solo artiste in the bedroom. The singing seems to suggest that. #GAWA

There's a horrible irony that we didn't get a neutral referee for the Switzerland game. #beyondfurious #gawa

You could use 280 characters to describe the ref but 4 will do.

I think this picture of the referee taken after the game might help explain some of his decisions? #NIRSUI #gawa pic.twitter.com/0TC16VRifk

It’s only football but if that referee isn’t lynched, hung, drawn & quartered by an angry mob then it’s an injustice.

One of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen#NIRSUI
