Many, many years ago I was told at a Disciplinary Hearing held at Deepdale that a referee isn't going to change his mind and players must respect the officials. I have followed Sir Tom's advice ever since 🙂!!

I was also taught that respect is earned rather than just given and the ref was a total cock-womble, fair game in my opinion 🙂

I can only watch it on iFollow so, while that's better than nothing, it doesn't give the best peripheral view of proceedings and they don't do close-up shots. Anyway, point is, it looked like he went after the referee three times and the third was over the top and more than the ref wanted to hear.

Sid it wasnt a case of changing his mind though, it was a case of nobody knowing what his mind was. As Ben says the ball was layed up the line and deflected off a Brummie before ending near the HW line in our possession. Sat on the IP I never noticed any handball or foul and so when the ref blew I 'presumed' the liner had said it had gone 'out and then come back in' play....therefore a throw in further back.

Fisher clearly hadnt a clue what it was for, the ref never made it clear. After failed attempt to take a free kick from 'the right place' (even though we didnt know where the right place was) Neil came onto the touchline and gave massive verbals to the ref...... Fisher a third time voiced his 'make your mind up and let us get on with it' opinion - at which the ref got his card out and signalled 'mouth' to Neil....

We werent complaining about the decision, we just didnt know what it was for or where it was from.....and that was down to the ref......

I'm a massive critic of Fisher and his discipline but not on Saturday....he was simply frustrated by an inadequate ref's communication.

Thanks SR 👍. When adrenaline and testosterone are flowing in copious quantities it's very difficult to keep 'perspective'.
 
Only Fisher could get booked moaning at a ref after he'd given us a free kick! He also walked away from the ball when it was 2 yards away from him making a sub get it for him. He's a bit of a knob with that sort of stuff, but there's no doub this performances have improved recently.
 
I personally think Fisher's time-wasting, diving and all of the other dark arts are some of the most entertaining parts of PNE games. If he was on the opposite team I would absolutely loathe the guy. My favourite player last season and slowly working his way back up there again this season.

I wonder if the Reading fans will call him ‘a dirty Northern bastard’ again?

This happened right in front of me, there was much scratching of heads because frankly everyone was clueless what was going on. I even asked on the matchday thread if anyone saw it, reply was that he was gobbing off. From what we could see he was genuinely confused as to what the ref had given. Actually that summed the ref up, his decisions were consistently odd.

Everyone asks for refs to be consistent.

There's no pleasing some people.
