Today's Referee
I'm posing this as a question?
When I was down at the amenities the referee fell for the penalty appeal. I mentioned to one of the Alfreton blazer clad supporters that they appeared to have brought along their own traveling referee. He said it was the first decision in their favour all afternoon and he was a homer!!
So you will guess what my question is. How bad is he?

Re: Today's Referee
Agree totally RoJ.... I think he came a day to early, I think he was meant for the Bees v Moseley game tomorrow.
Of the outfield players from Alfreon only the No 10 played any decent stuff.
Thats the problem with Conf.North Southport & Alfreton have had success playing this long ball physical crap & the rest of coaches try to match them instead of trying to play good football on the ground.Thats why my two friends probably will not want to watch Conf.North football again, one said if they are the best team in the league what are some of the others like.

Re: Today's Referee
I take it you didn't invite them to the Ditch on Tuesday or they wouldn't have asked that question.

Re: Today's Referee
I would have said that the referee was just fooled by some very clever blindside nudges and kicks by Alfreton but some were so blatant that even Dennis saw them!
We should've had a stonewall penalty for handball too but sadly not only was the referee incompetant but the lnos were off the pace too......worst game to watch this season due to the Alfreton game plan in my opinion

Re: Today's Referee
After the game I was in the office with Statto when the ref and linos came by and Statto politely asked the ref if, as a ref himself, he minded if Statto asked him for clarification of Junior's offence, ie what did Junior actually say to him? The ref replied dissent, didn't elaborate other than to say that he could have red carded Junior for swearing and aggressively pointing at him, this was backed up by the lino. As I was nearer than the lino the only pointing I saw Junior do was the to the place where he had himself been hacked down twenty or so seconds earlier and been penalised for it! Statto also asked about one incident of an Alfreton player clearly purposely kicking the ball out of the ground after the the whistle had gone to which the ref replied that they are encouraged to 'manage' that type of situation, which I took to mean do bugger all about it as he ignored both the situation and the player concerned.
This is not sour grapes, it's all water under the bridge now, but I honestly believe that in over fifty years of watching live football, that referee's performance was possibly the most incompetent of any I've previously witnessed, that's not to say biased, just ineptitude of the highest order.
I didn't speak to the ref myself because I would have been banned from the club for expressing my contempt for the man in the manner I would have liked to have expressed it. They say it makes you blind ref and you're living ....... proof .
--- What a looooooooooong strange trip it's been

Re: Today's Referee
some bad decisions for both sides I thought, I think the sun must have got to officials
nothing incriminating on my clips but there was a very obvious hand ball in front of the goal
