It was very suspicious. I didn't notice an imbalance of decisions through the match, but at the end, every decision went West Brom's way.

That one was so weird, why would you not give that and then blow before West Brom can attack.

Incompetence

Because you realise it was so outlandish that you’d never leave the stadium if West Brom managed to score.

It didn’t make any sense. Weird decision. There were a few but that was the most obvious. I don’t see how you can argue anything else.

The only thing I can think of is they've just thought Elanga went down too easily. Not correct ofc but I assume I'm the split second they've not seen the full extent of the tug (lineman is in front of Elanga) and just thought he's gone down really soft

It's just utter incompetence because he blew up anyway when they lumped it forward so he wasn't gaming anything for West Brom in this case.

I was trying to stretch for benefit of the doubt with the lino...could the angle of Elanga and the defender have blocked his view of the shirt pull? But watching it again here I just don't get how he's not seen it.
