It was mentioned by Corby fans that a similar injured referee incident happened there against Stamford a couple of years ago. A local replacement was found, but Stamford refused to continue on the basis that he wasn't neutral. The game was subsequently replayed.

 

Perhaps yesterday will be a wake up call to the Southern League to ensure fourth officials are present.

 

Who checked the credentials of the chap whohad just finished the under 9s game anyway?

I'll stand up for Johnny Morgan here - not for yesterday's decision because I was too far away (though from where I stood it looked much the same as Keiron Richardson's push on Momo Sissoko today - difference being Johnny had just been fouled rather than the other way round!). At Uxbridge I was no more than a few yards away and he definitely did not desrve to be sent off there.

I also think that the ref should report the home bench for the interference with play - twice. In the first half they would not let a town player take a throw without winding him up. Those dug outs are on wheels so why are they so close to the pitch and why is the away dug out not the same distance from the half way line as the home dug out. The FA made the town move theirs.

I still feel that if the Town had done their job as well as the officials done theirs we would have won. We cannot blame poor displays or results on the officials especially this particular game.


so why should we move our dugouts the reason we did that is because when we go to other away grounds weve been in that position. and the other incident was made big by your manager getting involved. your player tried to steal 10 yards so our gaffer decided that hed retrieve the ball to stop you cheating then your manager came running over ready to cry. and that match report is rubbish. does any1 know who scored and can they correct him i think he was watching the game at the park behind out stadium. and as for the lino your team had to agree with ours as to wether the ref will be ok to come from corby and do the line. your team said yes if they said no then you would have to come down on a wet cold wednesday night and see the same cr@p with less fans but the same noise that you were making, jack sh!t.

"so why should we move our dugouts the reason we did that is because when we go to other away grounds weve been in that position."

 

Because

 

1) It gives the home side an unfair advantage

 

2) It is too close to the touchline and therefore the bench interferes with play and the lino's view of the game.

 

3) I understood it was either league or FA rules at this level as we were required to move our dugout which was in a similar asymetric position. The fact that the dugouts are on wheels and can easily be moved indicates that you have clearly placed them in positions where it benefits the home side.

 

However notwithstanding the above we lost because Corby were better and we were not intimidated by the crowd. It is clear that you have not been to Goldsdown Road or you will know that there are crowds there. And Woodward did not move the ball 10 yards if you remember the free kick was taken from the original position. Your bench was just behaving like prats and taking full advantage of their position.

 

BTW why does your club bar only serve Corby supporters and ignore Town fans?

still at least that is probably the last time ETFC will have to go there for a league game for quite some time whether we go up or not.

FA s league reorganisation will see to that.

How frustrating was that game today?Corby are a typical hoof and chase team that you get at this level.No skill, no flair,just organisation and effort.If we can't beat teams that play the game like Corby or Potters bar,we will stuggle to make the play-offs ,let alone the top two.

Town could not be faulted for workrate,but the organisation ,decisiveness and belief just wern't there,and havn't been since the Harlow game.



I'm getting worried now, I agree with you.
