Dastardly and Muttley Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 Ref for the Birmingham game is James Linington. Isn’t he the one from QPR last season? Didn’t know this game was being played on the Downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, iirc there was a problem in the build up to QPR's winner too albeit that was not called. Linesman or ref at fault too? No complaint with the King 2nd yellow red or the QPR penalty but unsure we got much all night tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kit Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 He was the ref for the Rotherham game a few years ago I think. Was truly awful and has been poor whenever else I've seen him, he really should not be reffing at anywhere near this standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well known for being unpopular at Leeds.

Yes, he was dire in that game, but something tells me he reffed us again at AG and was pretty decent. But Davies, this bloke is dire ALL the time. And as for the yellow cards, isn't 4 per game around average.? 2 per side. He'll be ok :laugh: famous last words?

Harry Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 I remember the first time I recall this Linnington. Was the cup game v Boro about 10 years ago. I’m sure we had a blatant penalty denied and then their goal came from a hotly debated late free kick. I remembered thinking at the time what a crap ref he was and hoped he’d never make it. Sadly he’s still knocking around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him have a good game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one of those I’ll always remember. Lots of refs I haven’t got a clue with, but this guy stood out (in a bad way). The other reason I have a dislike of him is that he has a very similar face to Mark Ashton! Uugghhh!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got demoted quite a few leagues for it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No obvious clangers obviously, but he had zero control of the game and whistled for everything but gave no yellows or even lectures for the 1,000 fouls on Scott. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said on the other thread there were no cards for their simulated injuries in the first half and nothing given for pushes in the back when a city player was about to head the ball. He seemed to find it easier to give Birmingham a free kick outside our area then to City outside their's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 I thought he peaked by pulling us back for our free kick , when it looked like Weimann was about to shoot. Can't blame him for the result, but he did ruin a bad game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have booked them for time wasting early too. There was not a free kick or throw in they did not interfere with getting it into play quickly. Of course our lot are a bunch of nice lads and did not mind any of it. He was ok today though but that might be with his poor performances in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's par for the course, I checked our foul to card ratio. This season, 7th for yellow cards against us, which sounds a bit aggressive and feisty.. ...17th for actual fouls awarded against us, which is not too bad. Think we average a booking every 4.9 fouls, though not gone through it in depth. Edited October 9, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find those refs so frustrating, they spoil football matches. Yep, one of those ‘everything is a foul’ refs. Utterly tedious. Means players just go down the whole time. Constantly breaks up the game. The other thing that spoiled the match - apart from the obvious from our perspective - was the lack of a crowd in the lower tiers. Took ages to get the ball back when it went out, also slowed the game down. Added to the frustration on a truly dire afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
