Jeez! They were not in the wrong position! Get a grasp of that firstly. Secondly, sometimes an incident will occur in a game of football in a split second such as this DESPITE officials doing everything they can by being up with play and in the correct zone/position. It happens. Just as a side...

In your eyes, yes. The reason being is you are blinkered and just looking at it as a (Ccfc) fan. They will never be able to do any right in a fans eyes.

Not bullshit at all. What’s his name, I may have worked with him myself. Is he in the Birminghamfa or Warwickshire area? If he is I would probably know him aswell. If you are in the area too our paths could have crossed. What level are you/did you manage to get too?

They are in the correct position. The reason they have not given the goal is because the assistant IS NOT 100% that the ball had crossed the line because of the player on the line shielding the ball from his view.

As a senior County level 5 referee,I think I do know what I’m talking about.

The Championship is not now the same as when we left it. More like a 2nd Prem.

I’ve read that some time ago and was a little disappointed-from what I remember I though it would be a bit more revealing and his implied that they were uncomfortable and mindful when he was around. Understandable I suppose.

Or Leon McKenzie!

Which in a previous post is where I said the referee would be (which by the way is the correct position for that phase of play). And as previously stated, he would be looking across at the assistant for an indication if the ball is over the line. As we have already discussed the assistant...

Oh no! The old “E I E I E I O” has reared it’s ugly head and it’s still only October!:emoji_fearful:

It’s a fair point to say that he came into the team to early. You could say the same about Bayliss though but he has adapted straight away?

OFFS! Yeah, he was on scaffolding at the time.

Really? Oh, ok.

Wouldn’t say armchair critic as I attend most matches to make a judgement on them myself. Glad to be proved wrong as I have been with Maddison but won’t give players a free ride just because of their age or if they’re not up to it like others seem to do.

You just don’t get it do you? Yes, we can all see from the picture that the ball is over the line, that is not in doubt. What the issue is what people can’t grasp is IF THEY CANT SEE IT THEY CANT GIVE IT IF THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE THAT IT HAS CROSSED THE LINE!

No, just better ones apparently!

Great! The County Fa’s around the country will be delighted that 7775 referees will now be on their books....

Absolute tosh! The referee would have been on the edge of the penalty area and would be looking over to the assistant to see if the ball has gone over the line. As has been said previously the assistant would not give the goal as his view would be shielded by the player on the line (the ball...

Well the best officials are always the ones shouting from the sidelines.

Got to be Burge for me. The improvement in him in the last 10-12 months has been clear for all to see. I like most of the others wanted him out of the door and thought there may be a “hangover” from that god damn awful team that he was part of that got relegated. Fair play to him-certainly...
