Right here in Nigeria, grade one referees are currently in Kano State for fitness test. Please let pray for victory for all of them taking part.
Went to Mansfield Town against Bury in the Checkatrade trophy last night, just to watch as my local team. Near the end of the game, Bury toward through with only goal keeper to beat, went round him, in the opinion of the referee, the goal keeper brought him down, ball was still within attackers control. Penalty and yellow card to keeper. Surely DGSO and red card, it looked like the keeper expected the red. Very inconsistent performance from referee, took an age to make a number of decisions too. Goal keeper saved the penalty
Okay, what I day I have had today after a pitch inspection this morning. For the referee to ignore my advice and refuse to call the game off.
Then going onto my game where I had for 4 yellows 2 reds and a manager dismissed all for one team.
What did I do today to deserve this!
Hello all
I just wanted to share..
These young officials officiated a Somerset County Schools FA inter district match yesterday in WSM. Lots of positives for possibly a team of three on par with a number of more senior colleagues this season. Yes not an adult game with some of the unwarranted appeals or dismissive remarks that unfortunately take place. But important to hand out praise to the next generation who were fair, consistent & professional 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
If the reason behind the suspension ( and i dont know that this is the case ) it ' cos it in a ladies game and it undermined them.....What is done to ' managers' when intervieved over a serious ' fracas' in a game and they comment " It was only handbags stuff" just thinking ?
Dyou know, every year there seems to be slight alterations to certain LOTG even if it is just the wording......doesnt anybody " proof read " them to stop this nonsense....
Paper won and decided to stay as they were. Rock lost and kicked off.
See you in 3 weeks!
