Todays Referee

[Alan W (GNFC)]

As seems usual these days, he made some strange decisions (and in onecase, non decision) - in particular, his generosity led to our 1st goal - how on earth he thought Johnsons awful cross had clipped a Daggers player, I'll never know.

 

On our free kick goal, the Daggers players can have been no more than 5 or 6 yards from the ball at most, and the ref made no effort to correct this - it was only justice really that Bradley's shot flew past Roberts.

 

The non decision, of course, related to the Skinner incident in the 1st half - I know it was all basically handbags and it would have been difficult to single out any individual player for a card, but surely he could at least have called the captains together and suggested things calm down a bit, if nothing else?

 

The one thing he got right in my view was Macca's card - the forward seemed to be angling away from goal rather than towards it and that, I believe, makes it a yellow and not a red card.

 

Still, good to see a decision going in our favour for once, I guess.

 

And I actually thought we played some reasonable stuff after they scored, and were the better side for the last half hour.

 

Mind you, it says much that all 3 goals came from dead balls and I only recall Craig having 2 shots to save from open play (both good saves as the ball came through a crowd incidentally) and Roberts only 1.

I actaully thought the Ref had a very good game, but I take into consideration your points <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

How the bl00dy hell he booked smith for our celebrations and not any of the daggers players 4 their goal is beyond me. I thought the ref 4 both sides was crap.

[Jimmy]

He seemed to just give nothing if he didn't know what to do.

 

Certainly the first half melee could easily have seen 1 from each side dismissed (Skins and Uddin) as well as numerous bookings (Leberl, Bruce, Coleman).

 

He was poor to both sides so you can't really complain.

It makes the win even sweeter. The defender was nowhere near it.

 

The luck was with us on this occasion, I think daish has been a lucky manager so far this season , long may in continue.
