Sorry, but you are out of order with that comment,the Referees I appiont to games are assistants on the Conferance or Football League

Surprised me!!!!
I could have sworn that Saturday's ref was more used to officiating basketball matches.
I mean...the way he ignored the Abbey defender who leapt like a salmon to punch the ball out of their six yard box. Couldn't mistake his green/white hooped shirt sleeve. Even our goalie called out "handball!!", and he was having a slash behind the stinging nettles at the far end! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

As for "that" booking...that's another story!

btw, complaining about the officials maybe...but not taking anything away from Abbey who (on final reckoning) probably deserved their win. They scored a well-worked goal.

Do not be surprised at anything that happens with the officials in this league.

 

How much added time did you have Saturday - you rarely get less than 5 mins

[Bridge]

It was over five for sure...

9 mins 43 seconds

First half - three mins and 42 seconds - this was very much understated as stoppages lasted for over six minutes (three separate long injuries.)

 

Second half - seven minutes and 1.58 seconds - this was largely to retrieve the ball from the sunflower beds in the allotments behind the goal.

The whole point of this forum and football chat around the world is that we can say how we feel about the bloody ref's

Anyway i didn't think they were bad at all really,i was expexcting them to be worse!!!

[Lightweight]

And isn't slagging of the officials all part of the beautiful game!
