Dolmanator Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Get used to it. This is league 1 and theres a reason that the referee's aren't in the Championship. We had him last season, he was bad then so guess hes had a demotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Marsh Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 In the face of this ^ No, I wont answer the question. I was making a point in general. But as seen as it's all about bravado and who is the biggest bestest baddest fan on here. I shall bow out because, frankly, it's not worth the hassle of making a sentient point about refs in general when every one wants BLOOOOOOOOOOD! (spot the sarcasm!) Have you ever slated a player? They're also just human. I'd agree with you, refs are human and prone to mistakes, however, this guy had no idea what he was doing. It's not a question of mistakes, the guy was consistently ignoring the rule book throughout the game. AKA he was ******* pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The ref is now presumably on IIkley Moor Baht 'At with all his Yorkshire mates - the blind, incompetent cloaca*. I can take lower league refs missing corners and awarding spurious free-kicks, but the lack of protection our players got was a disgrace. When Cunningham was pole-axed off the ball it was only the lino's flag alerted him to the situation and he didn't even talk to the culprit. * look it up if you don't know it....

Guest Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Were you there? If not don't comment as quite frankly some of the decisions were scandalous. He wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcbs20 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 It's one of the downsides to going down you aint gonna get many decent ref's at this level I thought he was really poor I don't think he booked anyone today at least two of their players deserved a yellow that foul on Wagstaff 100% did near the end.

Strawberry2157. Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The worst I've seen outside of Spain and they are appalling.. he wasn't even in a position to make a judgement for most of the game. No wonder he missed everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were saying people were wrong to complain about a referee when you didn't even know anything about the way he performed. Yes sometimes people blame the ref unnecessarily, but in this case, everyone was spot on with their assessment, he was dire. So why tell people they are wrong to point it out when you weren't even there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 First league game and hopefully his last, he bottled so many decisions, I thought it was the GHS on the pitch. Last season, Bradford would have at least 2 sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I've seen better refs at non league level, he was diabolical, how he didn't see the handball in the build up to their first goal is ridiculous and the late tackle on wynter was shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friendlygas Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Get used to it lads!! This is the standard of refereeing that you will see in about 40 of your 46 games. You get the feeling that they are biased but the truth is they are just shocking and it will be worse when you re away from Ashton Gate. I would say that 80% of them will favour the home side when giving decisions but they are very poor and what in my opinion causes this is because they will rarely referee televise games and therefore will only be under the scrutiny of supporters who are at the game.

macdaddy Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Jesus! The way you set of girls are going on you'd think we'd come down and beaten 10 bags of s***t out of you! Like everything there are 2 sides to a tale and certain times we thought we'd been hard done by the officials too. I thought he was pretty decent ref who let the game flow well and stopped when it needed, but then again we've had lg 2 refs for the last 5 years( you want to see what they're like!) Admittedly it was handball before we scored but to be fair to the ref it was the lino who was stood right in front of it and should have spotted it.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 No, again, point missed. This thread comes up all the time irrespective of whether the ref was good bad or indifferent. It is usually linked to whether, we were robbed or didnt get whatever result that fans wanted especially at home. Anti ref threads/posts go hand in hand with pretty much every match day thread and have done for the past season or so. I was trying to open the debate a bit because, it's so depressingly familiar that each and every game, pretty much, ( some examples that I could be bothered to find, there will be more, and yes, these are from last season. I know right how terrible! http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/152911-todays-ref/,http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/152204-ref-today/, and so on) people moan about the ref either in match day threads or in their own separate ones. Of course the standard response is like some 'nam' thing where you werent there you didnt know, completely again missing the point and trying to 'prove' (to whom, god only knows) that everyone is a better 'super fan than each other. The ripping to shreds of Cheese with a legitimate concern is another example, when there is no need for it. It's a forum to discuss, not see who is the biggest and best fan and thus has the most important opinion. Some times this place cannot, or refuses to see the wood from the trees, as it's easier to pour scorn or blame someone, anyone else, for shortcomings or not achieving the desired result. Faff all to do with whether yesterday's ref was poor or not. However, discussing something like that seems to be a step beyond people who would rather moan and moan and point out short comings of refs, in general It's nothing to do with people being "superfans". Yesterday was my first season ticket match in 5 years for various reasons so I'm certainly not playing that card. It just makes me laugh that you can basically tell people they're using the ref as an excuse for the performance when people are absolutely spot on to be slating his performance, it was possibly one of the worse I've seen in the last decade or so. I know people will always get on a refs back when the result doesn't go our way - and it all becomes a bit "the boy who cried ref" - but this wasn't "finding an excuse" for not winning, this was people bemoaning one of the worst "professional" ref performances I've ever witnessed!
