Referee v Luton

[Banana]

I see the FA really do have it in for Luton by appointing Andy Scott's brother for the finale lol lol lol I can't believe that the FA don't know about the connection. Someone has certainly made a little "slip up" in Soho Square for this one......or not of course.

It's his cousin, who unfortunately still carries a grudge against him after the incident with Auntie Edna & the Christmas tree :yes:

It will be difficult for the Ref though as his first name is Greg - named after his much loved Godfather who happens to be our Chairman . . .

It could go either way :shrug:

On a serious note I thought the referee was very good today. True, it was an easy game to referee but he kept it controlled and was not really noticed which I think is the sign of a good referee.

This is true, but it is also a sign of an easy match.

 

[TOMOGP]

All very true but he did not Red card or even yellow card Gallen for stepping onto the pitch.

Gallen was not a happy bunny when he left the field, oh dear so sad never mind

 

[Waterlooville Bee]

Liked it during his warm-up that he waved to Ealing Road thinking we were applauding him whereas we were actually applauding something over the Braemar side.

Who's going down now Gallen, You fat Rangers ****?

I agree, although I think he bottled it at the end ! I'm sure he blew about a minute early when he saw the hoards encroaching on to the pitch at the Ealing Road end - much like the ref did at Darlington last Saturday.

.................................good to see him take notice of the linesman....................

 

[GuyBee]

Anyone know what the lino flagged for after Adam scored?

Cant believe it was offside, Hunt crossed it behind him, so Newton cant have been offside, and the crosser of the ball was barely in the penalty area so cant have been interferring

Also if it had been offside I think he would have pointed the flag across the pitch.

Don't think Ref bottled it at all; there was 90:00 on the scoreboard. What would be the point of playing 2 or 3 minutes of injury time when the result was meaningless; especially as it took 20 minutes to clear the pitch anyway? He was being pragmatic!

Good ref all round. Happy to have him back again unlike a fair few this season

 

[kainiemi]

did i imagine him showing Newton a yellow for taking his shirt off? bbc and official site don't mention he was booked..

The world renowned BBC missed it, but not FarnhamBee, see his pictures!

I specifically looked out for that and yes he did. Just wanted to see that he didn't miss it

Spot on - coming back for the last 2 mins would have been a total farce, and potentially unplayable. Neither team would have wanted that.

Had the game meant something Luton would have picked up 4-5 yellows. Mainly for cynical fouls and several deliberate handballs around the half way line. That fat lump gallen in the middle could not move and made 3-4 bad fouls out of frustration as the ball was just nicked off him time and time agaiin as he dwelled on it. He sat on his fat arse moaning at the ref every time he lost it.

Coming back from where?

The ref saw the crowd were about to pounce and decided, whats the point in dragging it out, lets get on with it. He did not stop the game after the invasion started

 

[Westlad]

Harford was whinging about both our goals, so he must have had a great game. Common sense to blow when he did.

 

[capricornia]

I think the lino wanted to know if Mr "Villa" Williams had touched the ball when in an offside position during the move for the second goal, I reckon the ref just thought "**** it" and gave the goal anyway...

Harford looked like a washed out PE teacher, his hands were in his pockets for most of the match just shrugging his shoulders.

The ref seemed fairly sensible and dare I say it a good appointment from the FA given the situation. Hopefully he'll get more chances higher up.
