Yeah I really don't believe we were offered 750k! I also wonder whether we learn our mistake from that anyway. As we barely used Rose second half of the season.
Yeah fair point. Guess it depends whether King thinks we have a chance of play offs this year!
Slightly different scenario perhaps in terms of the value of Rose Vs O'Hare (purely money wise) I think if we are offered 7 figures he will go personally.
Interesting the sheff wed manager thought they dominated the second half? We were poorer for sure. But not sure they created much, couple of opportunities but thought it was a bit of a nothing second half in general.
As I say every referee that's responded so far, has said the positioning is there or there abouts as far as they can see. (taking into account the assistant.) If you disagree then that is fine
That's a completely different extreme isn't it. I would expect absolutely everyone to get involved if that was happening. For a police officer you should be aware of situational awareness. It's a bit silly to resort to an extreme example, which isn't common place unlike the scuffle that happened...
How much closer should he have got exactly?
What are you exactly wanting me to say? I have said 3 times previously that he got the decision wrong and the he didn't see the initial scuffle.
If you read it they control the match. They don't control the players actions. It isn't the the referees job to get in the middle of a fight/scuffle/bust up. Feel free to do the course, but it a thing taught consistently in my experience to not get in the middle of it. Get as many angles on it...
The assistant referee does have a good view of it all, and they would have been communicating. Would interesting to see what they say is the reason for Kitching to also go.
You keep repeating yourself, but it doesn't make it correct. We aren't going to agree, all I can say is every referee in my league group, have watched the incident agreed there is nothing in the video to suggest Kitching should be sent off but the referees repositioning is what we should do. If...
You can disagree if you want, but it is what referees are trained to do. It is the team's responsibilities to control their players. Not the referee's job to get in the middle of it.
He didn't at the original kicking off because he was blowing for full-time. Agreed. He did then correctly reposition himself. There is no way he saw the initial kicking off tho. I have said it's a poor decision.
Both wrong. He did exactly what referees are trained to do, get a good view between you and your assistant and let it fizz out which it always does, once it calms down then step in.
Poor decision on Kitching based on what i saw but the process was not wrong and didn't 'run in the wrong direction'
Referee from the Brum games has been promoted to the prem for boxing day. Not surprising. Very good performance last week done well to progress so quickly
