Officials

[Bruce Wayne]

All 3 want reporting to the FA today. It was possibly the worse officiating I have ever witnessed. If a ball is an inch over the touchline then maybe you give the benefit of the doubt, when it's a foot questions need raising. When a defender kicks the ball into an opponent and it rebounds to an opposing striker 15 yards ahead of play how can that be not off side? These 2 incidents show the lowest form of competency never mind the blatant shirt pulling that went off.

I thought the ref in general had a good game got nothing major wrong that offside apart. He tried to play advantage where possible just shows

 

[Chali 2na]

Thought the ref let the game flow today and was relatively ok.

 

[Headshrinker]

The ref was the best in a long while. He didn't buy the cheating so the players had to try and stay on their feet. Wish every ref was like that.

Darren Bond was the ref against Swindon at home in the play offs, the worst performance by a ref that I have ever seen.

That offside was glaring but I'd expect the linesman to flag that and the ref to go by his decision.

 

[shrubbery]

Surely the linesman is there to make offside calls? I thought the ref let the game flow much better than most and also used the advantage rule fairly and consistantly for both sides. I rated him.

 

[Harry's Game]

I thought the ref was decent.

That Linesman though....

Wilder is being interviewed on Radio Sheffield now.

He also said that brilliant save from Henderson was a clear offside.
He laughed that the 4th official told Wilder that if it had gone in he’d have made sure it was disallowed.
Wilder said he’s pleased the ref didn’t blow his whistle because it gave Henderson the chance to take the plaudits with his brilliant save.

 

[Bladesman]

Linesman was at fault for that, not a surprise though.

 

[KoppedOff]

He wasnt perfect, but it was nice to see a referee who actually understands how the advantage rule works for once.

Not a great example but the one v Swansea played the advantage well too...I'll get my coat.

 

[biggey blade]

I thought the ref was decent, I think he give them a couple first half that wasn't fouls but think he got used to their cheating antics and had a much better second half. Thought the lines man was shocking though and didn't even flag to say the ball had gone in when we scored either. Overall i thought the lines men had shockers and the ref wasnt to bad at all and got much better second half.

That makes his performance even better if they weren't helping him.

 

[Superblades]

The lino didn’t have a fucking clue what planet he was on when it put them through. Clearly offside and the prick was scarmabling about not knowing where to go.

 

[Harry's Game]

That Linesman though...

 

[Gavlar]

The lino didn’t have a fucking clue what planted he was on when it put them through. Clearly offside and the prick was scarmabling about not knowing where to go.

That's a fabulous use of the Queen's English fella!

But yes I agree on the assistant referee.

 

[Gavlar]

That Linesman though...

Not as far off as I first thought. But still a blatant offside.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

I thought the Ref was ok today let the game flow.
Give me this kind of Ref than one that's blowing his whistle every 2 minutes.
