New season, new thread. :bound:

Today's was sh*t. Really sh*t.
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

He's been sh*t every time we have had him. Pompous pedantic petty prat.
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

I thought he was absolutely dreadful, fussy and determined to be the star of the show. Booked players on both teams un necessarily and didn't book the two PNE players who targeted and clattered into Canos. Thirty seconds later he booked the aggrieved Canos for running into one of the culprits when he could have just had a quiet word.
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

For the record, who was he?
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

He should stick to umpiring.
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

Yep another entry in the black book. I've put him next to The Madleys. Completely incompetent .
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

He's not good enough to be a professional referee. People's livelihoods get decided by a tw** like him.
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

When Clarke went down in the box 2nd half then the ball hit him when he was on the floor and ref gave a free kick to them for handball? Ridiculous.

Here's a question for Darren Fletcher and Ronnie Sausage... An away team find themselves one nil up and try to waste time by feigning injury, taking ages over throw-ins etc. Suddenly, they're 2-1 down and we reach 90 minutes. 4th bod, on the touchline, sticks up a board saying 9 minutes. Is there a case for the fourth official being allowed to reduce added time as it was the losing/away side who were responsible for the time-wasting?

I mentioned this to my boy, in a light hearted way, but don't see how it can be policed.

Let's be fair to Preston, if not the ref. I don't know where 9 minutes came from, but didn't most of the injuries which it's being suggested were faking happen when they were already behind?
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

Was the guy in the Brentford tracksuit who treated a number of their 'injured' players the Bees' doctor or something?

the ref was awful - rarely these days do I let myself over-react to the refs as by and large they are an honest bunch doing a tough job - but he was so petty with those yellow cards he finally got to me. On the question of time, I assume the answer is that there is some discretion - they don't as far as I know have to hand in their time pieces for checking - I think most refs yesterday would have added 5 - 6 minutes - but 9 suggests he was OTT in his counting. Not sure I felt he was particularly biased but just a really poor excuse for a ref.
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

He was sh*t. Even if you ignore the fact he booked our players for nothing and gave a free kick every time Preston players threw themselves to the ground and in some cases did sound effects as well. He made 2 calls which were astonishingly incompetent.

1) Gives Preston a free kick. Allows the goalkeeper to dropkick it - luckily it went straight to Button
2) A free kick outside their box to the left side, allows the keeper to take it from his 6 yard box!

No. Two lengthy stoppages were just after half-time. Johnson and their captain. Both near-death for a couple of minutes...

Embarrassing stuff. :no: then, when McCormack got a hefty whack on the ankle, but didn't yelp or go to ground, the referee didn't see it. :scratch:

I don't think he awarded the foul in that instance. Linesman flagged, but ref. let the ball go out for a goal-kick

Please don't allow the truth to get in the way of an excellent theory. ;)

The standard of referring this season is far worse than last season. Saturday's was just plain embarrassing and the lino on Braemar Road side didn't seem to get anything right. What I would like to see is us stop being so nice and get in the ref's face because everybody else seems to do it. We are just too nice and need to start managing these incompetent officials, put them under pressure and maybe they might think twice before pulling us up on everything and giving us nothing.

The sudden Garner collapse was on 50 minutes. Timed at 1 minute. The Barbet delay was after we scored and was timed at 1 minute 20. I'd like to know where the other 6 and a half minutes came from.

How many subs? All 6 used? That's 30 seconds there unless the referee deems the substitution to be taking longer in which he could be petty and caution the offending player(s) for delaying restart or just the time on. He may have also added more time for more 'time wasted' in which he sees fit.
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

I wasn't surprised by the extra time. Preston had 2 players needing treatment early in the 2nd half, Barbet also did and there was a later incident when a Preston defender headed the ball while lying on the ground, then needed the physio. Add on 5 or 6 subs, and probably a bit of time wasting, and 8-10 minutes was what I expected. Ref was poor in other respects, esp in first half, but I think the time-keeping was right
 

Referee Watch 2015/16

Right up there with the poorest refs we have seen in the last 10-15 years in my opinion.

He could have booked macca for pestering their players but decided to do it on the one occasion they ran across each other and touched legs. Canos booking was a joke as he disn't really do anything and was getting clattered. Booking Marco was a joke, hardly inciting the crowd, after the goal his momentum took him to the hoarding and everyone cuddled him.

Other than the above which could all have gone either way, the amount of poor decisions regarding free kicks was mental. Toums got really agitated at one point and clattered one of their players and he didn't even give a free kick, nice to see MD having a few words with the other bench afterwards. Some rally crazy pushes on the back 4 by preston forwards that were just totally ignored.

Utter prikk.

Probably the only thing he got right to be fair..... I can guarantee that if we were 1.0 down it would have been 2 minutes though.

That's more or less what I said at the time, although I think that I mentioned 3 mins instead of 2!!

Like I said on other thread (PNE predictions etc)......that ref Robinson has the highest number of yellows out of all the Championship refs........40 now in 8 games, kept his average going on Saturday, complete and utter dinkle!!
He was the ref when we lost at home to Naaarwich last term!!

I'd actually say he got that booking correct with Djuricin.
However we want to see it, he ran to the crowd, up against the boards and basically encouraged the fans to hug him. This is against rules and he broke them. He knows it too as it's not something new. Petty, yes. Wrong decision? No.

It's fairly standard that both doctors attend a head injury I think.

Trouble is if we keep getting these crap refs, it will only be a matter of time before i get ejected from the ground.

Preston had 2 players needing treatment early in the 2nd half, Barbet also did and there was a later incident when a Preston defender headed the ball while lying on the ground, and despite being touched by nobody feigned injury because, much to his surprise the ball didn't reach the half way line from his prone position near the corner flag, then needed the physio. Add on 5 or 6 subs, and probably a bit of time wasting, and 8-10 minutes was what I expected. Ref was poor in other respects, esp in first half, but I think the time-keeping was right

That's how I saw it. They were generally quite cheaty northern softies who mugged the ref off pretty much from after they scored.

Their knob who decided to head the ball on the floor took a couple and the even bigger knob with the dreads who sat a yard from the touchline took a couple minutes as well.
It was more that the ref was just determined to be the star of the show and milk the limelight for as long as possible.
No way should they have got 5 or 6 minutes added for their time wasting!

Johnson was close to having to have his leg amputated just after half-time. 5 minutes later he was back to being PNE's best player. :grey:

Didn't quite get a handle on what happened to knob number one. It appeared that he managed to knock himself out by nodding a stationary ball on the floor. And to what end was he attempting this dubious feat in the first place?

Nothing touched his head. He barely touched the ball. A great big lump like him, pretending to have a 'baddy-head'. Pathetic! :nono:

I can only assume he slipped but it wasn't obvious and looked quite bizarre, I remember that dwarf for Watford getting down on all fours to do the same at GP last season?

In almost exactly the same part of the pitch. :suspect:

It wasn't just that, after he headed it on the ground canos hurdled him and he stuck his leg out to trip him up before totally collapsing.

Totally agree with these comments but he was hardly aided by the assistant on the Braemarside who was utterly pathetic, is it me or do they tend to give us crap officials. The best performance I'Ve seen in recent times was Mike Dean at home against Muff last season, they tried to fool him with dives in the box etc and he brought none of it, ended up with them getting booked for simulation and yet did I read yesterday that Wenger doesn't want him ref find Arsenal games ( although I haven't seen the game, he was poor I'm led to believe)
