Put it this way I took a team of kids off a pitch that were being kicked to pieces by the other team.It was witnessed by the league child welfare officer who told me I had to take them off to protect them.I got charged & found guilty by the FA for causing a game to be abandoned.Followed by a fifty quid fine.

When teams lose managers, players and fans to an extent look for excuses, and the referee is often an easy target. The referees have nothing to do with our league posion this season. This ref does.....His decisions lost us at least a point in my opinion..that could be vital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that is the case anymore to be honest. Don't think there is 1 of our referees that will be at the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Just had a quick look at the championship stats, after our 1 and only free kick....the lowest amount awarded to a team was the Barnsley v Birmingham game. Barnsley had a paltry 8 free kicks to Birmingham's 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you haven't got a Snodgrass or a Terry...can you explain how you "Even out" the decisions? ‘Old manning’ has been part of football since time began. It’s part of the game. John Terry reffed that game for half the time. We just weren’t as good at it as they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Villa players and Bruce were in his ear constantly and it appeared he complied with their demands. He also appeared to suffer from temporary blindness around the time of a few heavy challenges and blatant dives from Villa players- it’s a medical condition. What we need to remember is he has 2 other officials to help him who also saw nothing wrong.I don't buy this that all 3 of em all saw it the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh just give it rest. Don't try & rationalise what went on today. This went way beyond 'things evening out over a season' blah blah blah. Can you recall the "loads of decisions in our favour" that equated to 16 decisions for & 1 against. We'd do a lap of honour if it ever evened out at 50/50.

theowlsman Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think they save the worse refs for us, I’m convinced of it, and that they have a secret game they play amongst themselves to see who can take the pish out of us the most. Then they have a laugh at our expense. I also believe that match fixing might be a widespread phenonemon not restricted to these shores. There’s been shedloads of results over the last couple of weeks alone that should never have been, I’ve noticed it whilst I’ve been doing my usual betting across the various European leagues. The same patterns have been emerging across all the European leagues. Top of the table teams with 10 points clear over the 2nd team in their league, losing at home to the bottom team with single digit points. Happened numerous times during recent weeks to the point that its now worth having a punt on any bottom of the table team when they play top opposition. I suspect something will come out in the wash sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cognacbarnowl Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I can't comment on his officiating as I haven't seen the match. However, if you lads who watched the match really do consider it worthwhile then bombard the FA and that Ask the Ref programme. Owlstalk can usually make things happen. Seriously.
