Disipline

[Ronnie]

Great result on Saturday and the added bonus of no bookings!

Was it a case of a more disiplined performance from the lads, or just that for once we had a half decent ref?

I would be inclined to say both. The referee was very good, although three of us were talking to him as he warmed up!!! sneaky!!! We were very disiplined in the way we played, we didnt need to go in recklessly and all tackles were timed perfectly. A very good performance and the lack of cards is indeed a good bonus.

I would definatly say that he was one of the better referees we have come across this year. He also seemd like a nice bloke, asking how our trip was before the game. <img src="/forums/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I can tell you that although the referee was not to bad on Saturday we have him a hell of a lot at Manor Park, and I can safely say he is without doubt the worse referee we have. He got promoted to Conference the same time as us. We thought we had got rid of him. I was amazed he only booked one on Saturday. Totally unlike him.

 

As for bookings generally. I honestly think a teams poor record is as much down to the opposition as anything else. Nuneaton dont kick there was to victory (or more often defeat), so opposition dont try and get even, or retaliate. I bet if stats were available, the total number of bookings and sending off's against Boro this season would be the lowest in the league.

 

I sometime wish Boro would get "stuck-in" more. Most of out bookings have been for lip.

Now that you have all said such nice things about the referee (Mr Woolmer) should I point out that this is the second time he has officiated at one of our matches, the first one being away to Yeovil. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool_shades.gif" alt="" />

....that would explain why he asked if I went to that game!!!

[Richard C]

EXACTLY WHY HE ASKED US IF WE WERE THERE AND TOLD US ABOUT THE GAME AND STUFF. HE WAS A GENUINE NICE GUY, AND WE WERENT AT YEOVIL SO DON’T KNOW HOW GOOD HE WAS THERE, BUT HE WAS GOOD YESTERDAY. I SPOSE IT’S THE SAME AS FOOTBALLERS, THEY ALL HAVE BAD DAYS AND DIFFERENT TEAMS SEE REFS AT DIFFERENT MATCHES AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

Apart from getting the Sturgess red card completly wrong, I thought he was OK at Yeovil.

.....and missing a handball from the player allegedly fouled.

 

Oh, and the foul on Jackson just before the ball went up the other end for the Sturgess red card.

 

I must admit I feared the worst when I saw that ref on Saturday.

 

Whilst he wasn't as bad as before, he still got a lot of decisions wrong still though.....

[David Holden]

Well I have to tell you Darren that Andy gave him top marks in all departments.

 

I will make a donation to Steve McKimm's fund if you can go a month without criticising the officials. It's beginning to give us a reputation as whingers.

[Richard C]

Im on your side there Dave. The referees have had a lot of stick this year. Some has been just, but hey who cares, lets get on with winning and supporting the team. Some refs good and some refs bad.

There is more chance of "Super Daz" geting his choo choos to run on time! <img src="/forums/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Got to go to Edinburgh on Saturday...... by train.

 

Any delays "Super" old boy? <img src="/forums/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

[David Holden]

I suggest you leave now <img src="/forums/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

So you think my money is safe then?

Dave, you 'dodge' tax for a living - well, you know what I mean <img src="/forums/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /> . I doubt very much you'd be betting money if it wasn't as safe as six points against Margate... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/biggrinangelA.gif" alt="" />

[FleetFanatic]

Can't help it if the refs are poor. Compared to others he had a good game.

Yes, your money's safe! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/biggrinangelA.gif" alt="" />

 

Actually, on second thoughts.....no mention of a ref's in a derogatory manner for a month?

 

Ok.....for Steve McKimm's benefit.

Another £58 million of public money and I still think the answer will be no.

[FleetFanatic]

We had a really nice ref last Saturday. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/biggrinangelA.gif" alt="" />

 

Just practising. Scary stuff.
