The romford manager asked our manager if he had sorted out a referee for the game,our manager said they could get Mr lendon,a local referee,romford objected and said thy would get their own referee.We said ok as long as he was affiliated to the eastern alliance association.
Anyway,it turns out that the referee they got used to be the romford manager and the linesmans dad was in charge of the Romford Under18's at the start of the season.
What follows almost sounds farcical.
Romford score the opener on about 28 minutes from a blatant push in the back from their player,referee and linesman both miss it,then follows some blatant timewasting from romford players which after protests from the hornchurch bench the referee ignores.
Hornchurch go 2-1 up 2nd half and decide not to rush the ball back into play like romford had done earlier.Straight away the referee puts a stop to this.
Romford win the game 3-2 in injury time after the referee plays for 8 minutes over the 90 (basically till romford score,then blows whistle)
Two hornchurch players after the game protested to the referee and got sent off.
I believe the club have wrote to the league regarding this blatant example of bad sportsmanship,at one point the manager thought of taking the players off the pitch such was the blatant attempt by romford of wining at all costs.

Call me a bit naive but as you wasn't there your information at best comes secondhand also sounds a bit like sour grapes. Just an observation

Malcolm Pond is a qualified referee, lasy year he was the manager of our under 8 B team.

Oliver Sears Dad is assistant reserve team manager at Barkingside. I wasn't at the game so cannot comment on the game. Suspect we both have more pressing matters at the moment UM since 4.45.
