Double Standards

[maxinio]

Just to bring it up again, watching the Grecians v The Accies and Roberts scores for the Accies runs up to the crowd, no yellow.

What's the difference between him and Robben, Tony Maynard?

Maynard was an Urchin. Robben plays for Chelski... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

issuing a yellow card is at the sole discretion of the referee.

 

the offence is 'leaving the field of play without permission'

 

you never know, perhaps roberts had permission...

[maxinio]

Referee is not a prima donna ( and to get in first not the kebab sort)

[and1inthetree]

some refs seem to think they are.

I think the yellow card for a goal celebration is the biggest load bollox ever. It's part of the spectacle. Take Robbie Fowlers celebration against Everton. He should of got the MBE not a 8 match suspension

robbie was excellent that season.

 

i'm not deaf, but i remember being able to clearly lipread his proposition to graeme le saux...

Correct gents, I remember when Geoff Pike scored against Castilla in 1980, Bonzo ran up and said "F....n great goal Pikey, trouble was there was no one in the stadium, it was behind closed doors.

Comes down to Man Management, I'm just waiting for the time that the ref actually gets embroiled with all the hugs et al..., should be funny.
