Slack Bladder Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Baldock backing into the full back? That was my thought, because there's no foul on the keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I don't know why the ref after a game does not have to explain why he's made a decision like he did so people know. As somebody else has stated it could be that Flint was pulling someone's shirt for example and none of us have seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talk Of The Town Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Video technology needs to be used for ' matter of fact '. Ball over line, foul inside box or outside e.c.t The video referee could argue Baldock backed into the fullback which then impeded the keeper. It's not clear cut and a matter of opinion.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 But isn't Mike's point that the ref shouldn't just "think" something happened, he should "know" it happened, before he makes a game changing decision like ruling out a goal. He was poor throughout IMO and should be dropped down to officiate on the Gas in the Bananarama Conf. Exactly if he couldn't see a foul how can he give it? like giving a penalty you haven't seen it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 What I can't understand is that he could see a foul that wasn't, but miss the eight occasions that Darius Henderson led with his arm or deliberately backed into our player. He also allowed Mooney (their no. 10) to take the piss by stopping the ball coming to our player who was taking a free kick for us 4 separate times. Shit ref.

If he gave it for some shirt pulling in the box then he should have given a free kick at every dead ball/corner situation. Also has the rule changed about kicking/taking/throwing the ball away when a free kick has been awarded? This was rife from Orient last night right in front of the ref on more than one occasion.

Portland Bill Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 But if the same decision happened up the other end,you wouldn't have given a shit,you would have probably forgotten about it by now. Refs make mistakes,but nowhere near as many as the 22 players do every 90 mins. Plus,last nights Ref isn't a Pro,he has a job as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, they act like theyre pro, i didnt say they were, read it correctly. You are right i probably wouldnt care if we had got lucky but i'd still lose respect for such a shocking error. Mistakes i.e wrong throw in, dodgy foul etc i can forget about. The game changing mistakes are the ones that are not acceptable. Unfortunately it was only L1, had that been the Prem and Sir Alex we'd be talking about it in the press for weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City1970 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Some refs have been dictating the outcome of games for years and this one is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 How is it a stupid attitude? They like to call themselves professional, they try to copy the players with their pre-match warm ups yet their performances are very regularly nothing near professional. They demand respect yet cant breed respect due to shockers like the other night. I suppose you're the brand of referees who've never played the game so dont understand the real life football nowadays are you? Or are you the type craving. Attention and power so you become a referee?! The only thing that turns away new referees is the local football scene, violence towards refs from players and spectators. I wont be respecting much of our professional referees until they get easy decisions, which there was no decision to even make last night, correct. Because it's ruining the grassroots, as you've just said?! The same way morons jump on the backs of players when they make a mistake. Players and referees are only human. Don't want to respect the ref? Fine, don't be surprised when your league can't find one next weekend. And don't peddle your bullshit about not playing the game, which I have. If I hadn't driven a car I'd still know when it was being done badly. [/soapbox] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is in offside terms, can't see it being different for fouls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah good one, thousands of referees are being driven away by stupid attitudes like this. Tennis and cricket play nothing like football, for a start. With hawkeye it's either in, or it wasn't. It either carried, or it didn't, etc. It's all black and white, and play is not continuous. Technology beyond what we have would disrupt and overcomplicate the game imo, and of course make it less interesting. And rugby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
