Just stand there and make mental notes of the actions and comments of the Club Official then report to the relevant authorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 I was surprised to learn that last season the Hertfordshire FA had to deal with 32 matches being abandoned for one reason or another and mostly due to the conduct of one or both of the teams, here is their guidance for abandonments which is presumably the same right across the board: https://www.hertfordshirefa.com/news/2021/sep/13/match-abandonments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Browne Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Leyton Orient @leytonorientfc · 5h 41' Ermmmmm...... The referee has bought the teams back out after half-time and now opted to play the four minutes of additional time he ignored. And then the teams will switch ends. Yeah, us neither Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 One for PetetheGreek, I see the match Officials had their dressing room ransacked at the West Essex v White Ensign Essex Senior League fixture yesterday at Wadham Lodge and all three had their mobile phones stolen, I was wondering whether anything like that has ever happened to him over the years: The game has been abandoned at half time by the officials due to the discovery that some of their personal belongings including all 3 of their phones had been stolen out of their changing room.

Rhodes Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 So nice to hear the interview with SSML Referee Sophie Dennington on Ollie Bayliss's BBC Three Counties Radio Non Show yesterday afternoon who is on her first season at Step 6 level, she was on the Long Crendon v Shefford Town & Campton Division One fixture on Saturday.

Not happened to me but I know of similar incidents over the years. I was over at Wadham Lodge recently for an FA Women's Cup match so I will be weary next time I visit the venue.

Rhodes Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 PetetheGreek - I assume, being old school, you just have an old Nokia phone don't you so it would be no great loss if it was stolen. I thought It was a bit extreme to abandon the West Essex v White Ensign match on Saturday, I remember in 2007/08 at the Copthall Stadium Kentish Town players had their dressing room ransacked during a game against Langford and it was discovered at half time, despite having all their phones and i-pods stolen they carried on regardless.

Rhodes Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 It seems to be happening on a regular basis, there was a game today between South Liverpool and Steeton in the North West Counties League Division One North where the Steeton dressing room was ransacked during the pre-match warm up and the game was then called off: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref made the correct decision. Safety is above all. imagine if referees had a free shot every time a player made a mistake. (I’m not saying that a mistake was made but…) Every player on the pitch would have a black eye, that’s for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Daily Dose - What I was getting at was that a good number of Referees, Mark Clattenburg included, wouldn't care about their own safety and just want to get on with the game to avoid an abandonment and all the grief and disappointment that brings particularly to fans who have travelled and paid their money. Besides, once the Epsom & Ewell player had been unceremoniously dismissed then the dust would have soon settled and the game could have easily continued with no further drama.

I’m pretty sure they would all care about their own safety and more importantly the the safety of everyone else. the Epsom player showed no signs of letting up. no referee should be subject to physical abuse. Even if they were utter garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Most of the refs are better refs than the players are footballers at this level in my opinion. Daily Dose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
