IdliketoRogerMoore Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I know the standard gets worse as you go down the leagues but how bad was the ref today? He missed a blatant handball in the lead up to their first goal climbing on the back of our players once one of theirs went right over one of ours (I can't remember who) head and still nothing! Non league standard IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Gave everything to the opposition. Was ridiculous. And the Lino on the dolman side was terrible. From JET's free kick, it was clearly headed over by a defender but somehow only him and the ref didnt see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 If I was Gerry Gow, Glenn Humphries or Robbie Turner I'd be thinking about making a comeback. First ref I've seen in years who doesn't consider stamping on someone as worthy of even a yellow, the elbow used by their 9 was pretty shocking, too. Welcome to nine months of ale house football....

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Most referees tend to "favour" the home team but this one was definitely not the norm!! I know the first half goal was awful from our point of view but there was no way their left back could have controlled the ball on the half way line without handling it. The decison late on for a foull against Ryan Taylor when their player handled on the byline was another mind boggler!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiz Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Truely diabolical ref today. Two late in the game challenges should have gone in the book as well as the jumping all ove players. I really hope that is not going to be the standard of refs today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Every single match, ever and all people do is criticise the ref I would understand if it was the odd ocassion, but it's every single match. Guys Refs are human, mistakes will be made. Some times that will go for us as well as against us. However because we didnt have the result that some would seem to expect the ref again becomes the scapegoat. Change the record! I wouldnt mind if it was the odd one or two games that people went ott, but it's every game and it's just looking for another scapegoat as to why we didnt win Were you there? If not don't comment as quite frankly some of the decisions were scandalous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was below par - some times it is a matter of interpretation, other times is simply the laws/directives of the game. A tackle from behind is a caution - it is that simple. He didn't do it - He'll pulled up on it by his assessor and hopefully allowed nowhere near Ashton Gate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunnie123 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 As bad as he was am i the only one who thought that the free kick he awarded to bradford right on the edge of the area (just to confirm i didnt think it was a foul) but was definately inside the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 He wasn't one sided just really poor. Worse refs is something we'll have to accept in L1. The thing that was very noticeable is that he didn't talk to the players, no real communication. Every single match, ever and all people do is criticise the ref I would understand if it was the odd ocassion, but it's every single match. Guys Refs are human, mistakes will be made. Some times that will go for us as well as against us. However because we didnt have the result that some would seem to expect the ref again becomes the scapegoat. Change the record! I wouldnt mind if it was the odd one or two games that people went ott, but it's every game and it's just looking for another scapegoat as to why we didnt win I agree, we shouldn't jump on the ref or lino every game. I read that refs/ liners get something like 98% of decisions right. Saying this, I thought today's ref was poor (hypocrite!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I said at the time if this match was played last season it would have been stopped every 30 seconds. Whilst we don't want that it was farcical at times today. It was like we were playing to different rules never mind different standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 If we are to be any good we have to get over the fact there are bad refs and just be more effective than the opposition. How ever a seasoned pro can "play" the ref whereas the youngsters Lack a bit of guile (or gamesmanship If you prefer ) We'll get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 And again my point was missed, because people would rather be snide and want 'confrontation' or whatever My point is, that every game, whether the ref was genuinely good bad or indifferent, every match day must have a 'bash the ref 'thread, and it usually correlates to us not having the 'expected result'. So the ref was poor! This clearly that excuses our inability to win at home, and must be by default his fault because he missed a handball amongst other things?

This place I repeat I wasn't there, but judging by the comments of the commentary team throughout the game, I am not surprised on this occasion that a thread has been started about the referee's performance in fact I would have astonished had one not been started. Guess what referee's do occasionally influence results with poor performances it would appear your point is a non point on this occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC96 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The refs weren't much better last season, Taylor gets fouled every time there's a long ball. There was a handball in the build up to the second aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
