Referee watch

I used to do a bit of reffing back in the day whilst I had an injury and we were always told to call the player over to show a card. In my opinion, that helps with the respect and helps show authority.

The goon on Tuesday didn’t do that, he waved cards around with nobody near him and that even resulted in some thinking Small had got two cards. I’ll go further and say that for players like their number 14 who was cautioned just before he went off should get a second caution because he ranted and raved at the referee like a toddler for a long time. Obviously he’s not the first player to do so but they’d soon stop when second cautions were issued for a continuation of petulance and extreme dissent.

We were behind the dug outs and the reserve referee. It was Bobby Madley.

By the second half the players had stopped moaning at the ref and we're complaining direct to Madley who wasn't even officiating - other than keeping an eye on the managers.

Whiteman have him a right earful about sorting his mate out.

The ref on Tuesday had no respect from anyone involved in the game. It showed.

This needs reporting to the EFL

I noticed Whiteman in particular and whilst I understand the frustrations, the 4th official isn’t going to suddenly march over to the ref and hold him to account.

Is he not wired up to speak to him?

He is but he’s not going to get the ref to change his mind because a player told him to. It used to be the case that the 4th official could only intervene or help in cases of violent conduct or red cards but I think it’s now quite open and something like he has to assist the referee at all times, so his role is at the discretion of the referee.

I think that's why Whiteman would talk to the 4th official though. If he felt he was getting nowhere with the ref, he's as well drawing the fourth official's attention to things so he can keep his eye on them with the assumption that he might feed back to the ref. Only a guess though.

That's exactly how I saw it. The dynamic was that Badley was the grown up in the group. Almost like a dad who was letting his lad referee the match as a treat.

Totally agree & the fellow was poor. Very poor.
But I only found out yesterday it was the same Ref. we got at 'The Stadium of Light' when we played Sunderland on a night match there last season & that PNE team got an Award that night for the Biggest display of ( also unsuccessful ) Shithousery that I've ever seen, ( that in addition fired-up Sunderland into scoring when we were in control) .
It also might have helped put the Referee against us - even more.

We got totally done in that game for some ridiculous time wasting, but he couldn't see it from Tuesday's Brum team. Very odd.

"Refereed to a different standard."

If I reme

If I remember right didn't Clattenburg ref a Deepdale match where it kicked off on the pitch?

I can't remember that one, but he reffed a game at Deepdale against Shitpool, in which he awarded a penalty for them. I thought it was harsh at the time and never really forgave him, as Shitpool won 1-0.
 
Farai Hallam. Great referee tonight. Might have had dubious decision against us vs stoke last year- but he controlled the game with calm authority tonight. Let the game flow - and didn’t fall for Danny Ings swallow dive right at the end. Chalk and cheese between the officiating on Tuesday night

Not bad. A bit card happy though. Better than the last two we have had the misfortune to encounter.

Thought he was pretty much spot on, didn't notice he was there much. Unlike that absolute fucking cretin on Tuesday, he should never be allowed to set foot in Preston again let alone Deepdale.

Tuesdays ref is the fourth official in Newcastle s game this weekend.
