Kevin Johnson.

Was ref for Colchester earlier in the season, but more noted for being the ref in the 2nd leg against Gateshead when sending neilson off for having his foot within 6 inches of an opposition player.

Excellent.

And because that cheating Craig Baxter leaped up about 6 feet into the air and screamed like a baby and the referee couldn't wait to produce his card!

I'm not bitter, honest.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

There is a smallish pool of refs, so i imagine most will have previous and not just with us. I bet other teams have their stories to tell too, so we can only hope that this time around, he makes the right decisions, unless of course he gives us a couple of dubious pens to even things up.

Sounds like he's hoping for a call from Mike Riley. ALL PGMO refs are like that!

It's a long way from Somerset to Cheshire (and Essex) to Ref a game, but there are only a limited number of games a Ref can do closer to home I suppose!

We have never won with him in charge, do you think he does not like us, or is a 'homer' (He has never been to BP), we will know after Saturday.

As a former referee myself I find these posts tedious at best. They inherently question a referee's integrity purely on some biased judgement from a previous match. Without referees, there is no football and people forget that. Further to that, those who criticise regularly are not willing to put themselves in the middle.

When I was 15, in my first few months as a referee, I was severely abused for no apparent reason. Having refereed East Coast Juniors v a team from Newark I was labelled a tos*er.

The game was typical of kids football one team - in this case the home team ECJ - won at a canter and the visitors lost (in this case the team from Newark) and each side were 'happy' and disappointed' with the referees performance for basically pathetic reason. Neither had judged my performance on it's actual merits. As per usual.

As was the case at Wainfleet Road, the changing rooms had been locked wjislt the game was on for reasons of potential theft and after the match there was somesort of delay regarding the reopening of the dressing rooms. While this went on, a man and his 5/6 year old daughter (it had been an U9s game) of the Newark side emerged through the crowd. Having seen me he looked at his daughter and pointed at me : "that's a tos**r, you've never seen one before but's that what they look like". He took one last look at me and left, scuttling back through the crowd of people. Parents from both sides saw the incident and said nothing.

It was, now I am 30, a truly despicable thing to do to a young referee who enjoys football and was simply refereeing as a way to stay in the game. I am sure worse has happened and it makes these type of posts all the more deplorable. The referee who is appointed is the referee and that is that. Ultimately, he is a fan who has had more success than us at staying in the game and deserves credit for taking such terrible abuse rather than being written off before a ball has even been kicked. Just like our players a referee can have a bad day at he office and he is ultimately judged on his overall performances at this level, not just one, so rather than slate him before a ball has been kicked, take a moment to thank people like him who turned up at your Sunday league game on the long road to make it to this level.

Football is for everyone.

Up the the Mighty Mariners.

Very good points there, PM.

That Neilson sending off was a fucking disgrace though
