Ref v Hartlepool

Just seen that the ref for the Hartlepool game is Danny McDermid.

He is the clown who reffed the Brighton away game, did not award us a penalty at 0-0, gave Brighton a pen, sent off Bennett and reported AS for comments made after the game which cost AS a 2 match touchline ban.

Do not expect us to be given anything on Saturday and I suspect a long afternoon of frustration and stress lies ahead.

I would like to think officials take a professional approach and what has happened previously should have no effect on this particular game. He did us a favour sending Bennett off. Shame he didnt do it earlier. :D

So would I but they are only human...... well some of them.

Apart from Kevin Wright v Southend and Pat Miller v Gillingham I honestly cannot remember a single referee who I can say gave us a significant proportion of the key decisions.

I would also single out Oliver Langford (who sent off Nathan at Gills last season) and Paul Taylor who refereed the Leeds and Millwall away games impeccably and were not swayed by their baying hordes.

It has seemed that home and away we have had to battle against the officials as well as the opposition.

Saturday wa sa prime example with Mr Woolmer totally appalling

Referees shouldnt set out to give any team the majority of key desicions. They should call it they way they see it. If that means all desicions go to one side then as long as the ref is giving it as he sees it then theirs nothing wrong. The above situation is very unlikley though and i think unless the ref is extremely poor on the day, or bottles it both teams get desicions. We are all just naturally biased or dare i say it, do not understand all the laws, which makes it seem as if we are hard done by.

And now, because we have drawn attention to this particular ref, there will be people complaining about him regardless of his performance.

Some refs are better than others, but none are biased.

I take your point Danny seems to be a naff ref. However I doubt I will be frustrated or stressed in the context of our not going up/down end to the season. Chill big fella :beer:
 

Ref v Hartlepool

Well, it's the last home game of the season so we can always deal with things Luton style if necessary. I dare say we'll keep our tempers in check though.
 

Ref v Hartlepool

I really don't think any refs are "bias" - they just do the job as best they can - all refs make bad calls - live with it.

Read Graham Polls book "Seeing Red" to see what they have to put up with - why would anyone do it?

That's besides "Sir Cockhead Stuart Attwell" of course :)

You didn't see Kevin Lynch at Brisbane Road or Kenilworth Road, did you?

:nono:

Don't start on officials today. They do their best.

(apart from T wat well)
 

Ref v Hartlepool

Your prediction was spot on. MacDonald could have suffered a broken leg and the man stood there grinning while booking their "player" wth a yellow. A contender for the worst ref of the season although the field is wide open.
:(:(:(

very poor ref. missed a nailed on penalty and the challenge on charlie was disgusting
 

Ref v Hartlepool

Performed as expected.

sadly, he probably performed 'to the best of his ability' which says little for his ability.
 

Ref v Hartlepool

Absolutely dire. Made decisions which bemused everyone else in the ground, missed a nailed on penalty and managed to change tack in the middle of the game and punish their giant centre half for fouling Strevens when he'd given the exact same challenges as a foul the other way earlier in the game. Astonishingly poor performance and I'm just glad that from our point of view there was nothing riding on the game.
 

Ref v Hartlepool

I am sorry that I was proved correct. In fact he was even worse than I feared. Missed an obvious penalty, gave us a free kick for nothing on the edge of their box, penalised Stevens for every challenge then changed his mind and gave Ben everything.

Could have sent off both their players for their fouls.

Theonly surprise was he spotted Monkhouse's appalling dive - was just waiting for him to point to the spot.

Total incompetent clown.

Scott and Turner walked down the touchline at half time discussing the refs first half performance

Just like he and Les Parry did after Mr Phillips's "performance" lately

I think Monkhouse just fell over as his momentum caused him to lose balance.His Dad Bob would have been proud though.
 

Ref v Hartlepool

Awful performance, missed the penalty on Legge and also on the radio they suggested that both players should have been sent off for them. Glad he got the correct decision for the Monkhouse dive.
 

Ref v Hartlepool

How he gave free kicks for foot up against diving headers - that baffles me.
