Preston.
Just like in 1999 v Arsenal. Dermot Gallagher wouldn't let Ranks to stand at the end of the wall for a free kick. Then allowed him to be pushed aside so Petit could find the bottom corner to equalise.
Then we had Fatty Dowd giving a penalty from the half way line against Stuckman for allegedly bringing Rooney down. Who later admitted he dived because he didn't fancy being challenged by the big German keeper.
I wonder how much protection the Premiership lads will get tonight from their mate Peter Bankes?
 
That game in '99 still winds me up. I left the game absolutely fuming. Did I expect us to win? No? But Arsenal were by far the dirtiest side I had seen at Deepdale for a long time. Niggly kicks out 20 yards off the ball, the elbow in Kidd's eye, other horrid challenges throughout the game that all went unpunished.
I better stop as my blood is starting to boil.
 
Completely irrelevant to the result but he was utter wank. So biased to the bigger, better side. Pretty standard stuff I suppose.

Agreed, another jumped up little knob sack.

There was a challenge Mads made late in the game - a great one too where he stretched his leg across to cleanly and superbly won the ball. Promptly pulled back for a foul and booked. Fucking joke.
 
Mads looked to be impeded just moments before he made that legitimate challenge.
Thought Brooks was going to pull that one back for the earlier one, can understand Mads frustration but still a needless caution, Mads had walked away once before eyeballing Brooks.
 
Remember who pays his wages/ keeps him in top tier - if a Preston player had impeded Mads like he was before his booking - the offending player would have been definitely carded
 
One thing I mentioned in the match thread was that it was pretty frustrating how long he would take to make a decision. The offsides in particular were called quite late. It felt like he was waiting for VAR.

It's a small thing that bothers me whenever we get EPL refs, they're noticeably dependent on VAR.
 
Mads had three offsides given against him:
  • 1 (the first when he had the keeper to beat and put it wide) was definite and Mads was slack in being offside
  • 1 extremely contentious, my view (as someone who runs the line at grassroots level, so clearly qualified) just on
  • 1 definitely onside.
Starting lineups, tactics, didn't matter - ref and his team had all scenarios covered.
 
He probably knew all their first names….

Too be fair Ando, most referees know players christian names. even nicknames at this level.
Team/squad are studied days in advice of an appointment.
Nothing wrong with it, can pacify heated moments/issues with a quick name response instead of just calling player/shirt number to come in and have word.

Keep up good work at grassroots Mash, always valued!
 
Absolutely no need to book Kesler-Hayden early on.
When will these weapons learn that not every foul warrants booking.

I actually enjoyed Mads being fouled not getting the decision and then thinking "fuck it I'm not having that" and taking their lad out and then going up to the ref to give him some. It's the sort of spirit I want to see from a player. Now to just channel it better.

Yep. Prem officials are getting worse at making the right decision in real time as they rely on VAR to do their job for them.

Absolutely nailed on booking haha

Fair point…..

Ha! 54, fucked knees and overweight is no way to try and keep up with 15 year olds Joe!!

Love grassroots though, apart from the bell ends you come across - it's been a huge highlight for me and the Mrs, oh and our lad!
