Re: Lincoln's physical imps match thread

The voice of reason from Lord D on the referee debate.
Refs are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
Funny how one set of fans see a red card foul, while opponents see a dive.
Our friend from Lincoln accused Stanley of being a team of divers, conveniently ignoring their foul tally was double ours.
We often feel aggrieved, sometimes justifiably, that officials decisions have cost us the match.
In general, most officials try to do a difficult job in an honest & fair way.
Naturally it's the exception that always proves the rule - for exception read 'Kettle'.
It's ironic that the team topping our league - Luton, also top the (un)fair-play league, with 62 points from 50 yellows & 4 red cards.
The team with fewest cards are Barnet, with only 29 points (20Y + 3R).
So the dirtiest team in league 2 are top of the league, whilst the cleanest are propping up the bottom.
Wonder if the Luton fans are complaining about officials?????
