Rob k Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Wtf was that free kick about in the last minute? Made me angry - just shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Had a pretty good view from where I was sat yesterday: Ref basically took way too long to get it all in order, then blew the whistle, then decided the ball should be moved back a few inches. Subsequently the crowd by now were really loud so i'm sure no one on the pitch could hear anything. With the whistle already blow, Greg tapped the ball for Elliot to step on it for Greg to shoot. But Elliot was too busy watching the wall, unaware that Greg had taken the freekick so the ball just rolled into Elliot's foot, bobbled up and Greg just hit it. Absolute shambles not helped by the ref at all. After the freekick Elliot looked at the ref and asked where the whistle was but it was both of their fault really. Just a calamitous series of errors.

old_eastender Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'm sure in those situations you would be better off just belting it low, deflection could take then take it anywhere - including in the net. That was how the great Alan Walsh approached free kicks and not seen anyone in a City shirt be so consistently threatening from free kicks since his time - pretty sad really!

stogursey red Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 there was no excise for the free kick, when you have Flint and Wilbraham at the back post with their heading ability Elliot should have been chipping it over to them to see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 If they were 10 yards away then I'm a monkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodburyred Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 How we had 2 players booked and they had none is also quite laughable. The bloke who gave away that free kick pretty much launched himself at the ref and nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 It was 7 yards at the most that they were away from the ball and they werte still creeping forward. From infringement to actual taking of the free kick must have been two and a half minutes, the ref didn't take charge of the situation at all. Wilbraham was on the end of the wall and their player pushed 2 hands into his face to push him away with ref looking straight at it. We took 2 bookings one for a little trip and one for time wasting whereas they committed quite a few more fouls that may have been worthy of a card. I have seen this ref a few times including at the gate and he always comes across as a bit of a "homer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Scott Mathieson. Terrible official!! Seen him many times and never been impressed. Although to be fair, there arent many great ones! They do a job, very badly often, very good less often. However i suppose we just have to make do with constant inconsistencies!

The Casual Connoisseur Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Should have belted it. Second ball could have been an option as we had the box packed. Liked Flints action with the keeper, also liked how he picked up opposition players after winning the ball with crunching tackles, looked a true gent on the field.
