Auckland Owl Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 So what's happened to that dodgy ref then? He turned up for his hearing in a shell suit. He was never seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Someone posting in this thread has a dodgy avatar or signature or something, I'm getting malware warnings from Google coming in here. I just changed to the mobile skin so it doesn't load them and it let me in fine. The warning links back to www.tucoo.com, so does someone have their avatar hosted from that server or something?

Salmonbones Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It was a valid complaint that Megson had, surely. Just voiced it in the wrong manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should hopefully be resolved now so I've reopened this thread, but if anyone has any further problems, please let us know. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It was a valid complaint that Megson had, surely. Just voiced it in the wrong manner. I think the fact he has only been fined (not even a suspended touchline ban), and the fact that the referee on the day (Steve Rushton) was shoved down to League 2 for a month probably suggests the FA sympathised to an extent with Megson's criticism.

Guest Distraught! Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I think the fact he has only been fined (not even a suspended touchline ban), and the fact that the referee on the day (Steve Rushton) was shoved down to League 2 for a month probably suggests the FA sympathised to an extent with Megson's criticism. Interesting idea! I can imagine that for a Premier League referee to have his status reduced to a Championship level referee would be quite a blow because all the razzmatazz crap and money attached with everything to do with the PL. But I cannot imagine being reduced from a League 1 to a League 2 referee for a month would be too much of a blow for anybody. Going from reffing matches at Dagenham & Redbridge, Yeovil and Exeter to reffing matches at Macclesfield, Hereford and Rotherham is not such a blot on a CV!
