the ref was awful, his decision making was inconsistent and lacked control.

He was guilty of one of the most annoying referee behaviours; that of not giving a red card because it's early in the game. Had the Jacobson/McConville incident been at the time of the Charles horror tackle, I bet that the resulting punishments would've swapped over too. It was a terrible performance from the referee, epitomised when he fled the pitch. Disgraceful.

Ya seemed a bit strange when they were time wasting after two minutes

Anyone who saw the game with their own eyes knows the ref was wearing yellow. I've played football with a ref in his late 70's early 80's, he couldn't hear a thing and never left the centre circle because he couldn't run but at least he was fair, he wasn't good but he was fair, he barely made a correct decision all game but at least it was the same for both teams. Today if Charles did it - play on, if Gornell did it - foul. The ref today could have knocked all the time wasting on the head with a yellow card in the first 15 mins, he didn't. You can't blame Stevenage, bet they couldn't believe their luck, Jacobson's challenge in this game was not a red in a million years, given the leniency of the ref on challenges of the same ilk by Stevenage players. If the ref had called up every push, trip, elbow then yes, it was a red, but if he was to be consistent Stevenage would have been down to 8 by half time.

Quote from the Laws of the Game:

Quote:

“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary
use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent.
• A player who uses excessive force must be sent off

Can you honestly say that Jacobson didn't use excessive force?

there was absolutely no animosity being shown from the crowd at that point, just a subdued resignation that it wasn't to be...

and tell me, as a Ref, is that in the Ref's manual....????

At the end of Division 4 Play-Off match, "leg-it"......

He was a coward all night, and the end of the match proved it.

There's no such thing as a referee's manual, there are guidelines, number 1 of which is that the officials' safety is paramount. Yes, the crowd were fairly subdued by that point, but as we know, most League 2 clubs have a pitch invasion for the last home game of the season. As with the vast majority of clubs, I'm sure 99.9% of Accy fans would be sensible enough to leave the ref alone if they went on the pitch, but it only takes 2 or 3 p*ssed off fans to cause a major incident. At the end of the day, the officials only stay on the pitch at the end to shake hands with players/staff, and I'm sure the officials would have been more than happy to shake hands behind the scenes. The referee is obliged to speak to the managers after the game, after a 30 minute cool off period, and I'm sure niceties were observed then.

I was refereeing a few months ago when a player shoved me. I abandoned the game. The players weren't happy, but it was correct procedure, and I was fully backed by my County FA.

But to say you are not an armchair fan because you live in London and had a ticket for the Greenhaus match, but couldn't go because you hurt your leg awww. Shame on you, Never heard of trains, buses, taxis, get a mate to give you a lift etc etc. If I had hurt my leg and using a walking stick, I would still make every effort to go, especially when I had a ticket after all, it is an all seated stdium!. Could you not have stayed overnight in a travel lodge or some such establishment. You have been called a troll, muppet on this site, I would like to add another NUMPTY. Stick to your own site. BTW what happened to the other 26 games this season?

Actually I gave my ticket to another fan I know in the area who couldn't get one. 20 games in a season when you live 200 miles away is a decent record, it will be 21 by next Saturday. I don't know many people who would 'give someone a lift' 150 miles on a Friday night, and not even have a ticket to get in to see the game!

I think you will find the referee's duties are set in the Laws of the Game.

cashman · 21-05-2011, 14:35

what has that video in another country to do wi last nights officials? to insinuate that could/would happen in accrington is a further insult, sod off back to yer own base troll.

Duties in relation to the game - where in there does it say that he has a duty to stay on the pitch at the end of the game? I hope you know, as a referee yourself that should a referee be assaulted, he should abandon the game? Where does it say that in the Laws of the Game? Referee's actions are not governed just by the LOTG, there are other instructions, one of which is that your safety is paramount.

cashman · 21-05-2011, 14:38

safety was/is never been n issue up here, though its plain to see you are a tart.

That video shows it happens. Had the referee in that game done what last night's referee did, the unsavoury scenes of him being assaulted by fans would have been avoided.

ddevil2006 · 21-05-2011, 14:47

Also, I'm not singling Accrington out as a team who it could specifically happen with. It could happen with just about any League 2 team, and most League 1 teams.
