Re: Shocking Referee!

seenit said:Johnson got his own back for being trussed up by Claude last season. So, a sly nudge in the back for the first, and a racing dive for the second, let me ask you which one can sleep with a clear conscience?
strpne said:Referees will discuss what to expect from clubs, just as we do as fans, and evidently they feel that it is possible to be slightly more lenient towards visitors to deepdale, be that because we dont have the intimidation of places like st andrews, dont dive around and complain like certain other clubs, or simply do not have enough recognition as potential winners. That is not to say that officials go into games with preconceptions about players or sides, nor that such may be influencial on the officiation of games.
Joanpne said:Its funny you say that, because I am currently reading Paulo DeCanio's autobiography. He says whether it is conscious or not, referees do favour bigger clubs (both in England and Italy). He gives the reason why, but it is too lengthy to go into. They also have preconceived ideas about particular players he claims.
I well believe this because the ref warned our Nuge before a ball had even been kicked at Ipswich 😱

Step forward Mr Michael Thorpe. PNE V LUFC, Play-off Semi final Second leg, 2006. 😡 😡
It's a bugger really, cos I sat there all game chuntering 'This is the worst ref I've ever seen', then had to correct myself when reminded of ~Mr Thorpe.
I'll never be able to use that phrase again after THAT Leeds match. 😡
Blackbeard said:We have got to stop being such nice supporters and start getting to the opposition and refs early on, particularly in the big games. Look at the atmosphere against Birmingham and compare that to the Leeds game.
atkypne said:I've seen some bad ones in my time, today's gimp was bloody shite! He gave us bugger all in the first half and not much more in the second half!
Dichio should have had a penalty in the first half, along with a number of poor decisions along the way. I hope we have a strong ref against the Dingles.
