The Ref!!

this is what happens when you gets refs that do games in front of 400 fans at the likes of hayes,braintree,ebbsfleet..........................and fleetwood.
they come to a ground like ours and are like rabbits in the headlights, its to much pressure for some of them,i could tell by the refs body language on Saturday that he knew he'd fuked up,we got every decision  after that,and he even blew when their lad  was clean through at the end,you always let a passage of play get seen out even if its right into extra time,that's why their players were also livid with the clown.

If he knew he'd copulated up, surely he would have allowed Duffy's goal to stand. Although the ref was poor throughout he did get their goal correct.

les,we didn't deserve owt from the game on our first half showing alone,that said the ref should seriously look at his decisions for both teams,they are ruining games at the moment.
iv'e reffed games myself ,and l;et me tell you its hard work to get every decision correct,but blowing up when someone is one on one with the keeper! well what can you say?
what i would be most concerned about if i was in charge of the team is why did we only look up for it when they went a goal up?
we are in a good position at the right time of the season,we have to forget the reffing situations and win games without relying on these kind of things.

No he didn't, Les

He blew up for full time because time was up. It does not matter where play is if time is up then you blow.
If memory serves me right did not a referee blow for full time when the ball was in the air from a taken corner, and all the players and managers from both sides villified him. As the law states " the game is played in 2 equal halfs of 45 minutes"  so if time was up that's it.

Quoted from Havelock the Dane

No he didn't, Les

Well the overwhelming consensus from every single qualified referee I have spoken to or who have posted on here since the incident, is that it was the correct decision.

It can be argued forever whether it was right or wrong but at the end of the day the players were as much to blame as anyone for not playing to the whistle. It's gone now though so no point dwelling on it anymore.

That much is certainly true. There's not a lot we can do about it now.


(It wasn't a goal though  )

Errm yes, it WAS a goal. That's one thing there's no denying.  

The rule shiuld be.....if you are offside,then you are offside.

By allowing interpretation you enable a process of thought in which the rule can be viewed differently by 2 people.

Who ever came up with this recent offside rule is an idiot of the highest order!

As the late, great Brian Clough once said.."If he's not interfering with play, then what the hell is he doing on the pitch"
