Shocking Referee!

Shocking Referee!

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?

I was going to comment on this, Gallaghers decisions at Goodison were appalling. If Claude DID foul Johnson there was a slight tug outside the box, but Johnson clearly dived in the box (no surprise there then) The blatant shove in Davis` back was in full view of the ref but amazingly he let the goal stand, the Sheff Utd were denied a clear penalty, and this was only from the highlights!
The next time clueless Dermot referees at Deepdale we must remember to present him with a signed shirt like Everton did.
 
Re: Shocking Referee!

He was the worst ref I've ever seen . . . BAR ONE. 🙁

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. 😡
 
Re: Shocking Referee!

Walton was awful on saturday but we have seen him before against Wednesday on the opening day of the season. If my memory serves me correctly he completly ruined that game as well.

Note to Football League. I pay a lot of cash each game to watch a FOOTBALL match, not some twerp in the middle blowing his feckin whistle every 30 seconds.
 
Re: Shocking Referee!

What happened with Barry Knight at the city ground was truly shocking, however I am not convinced it cost us as much as the Leeds game (I believe we may actually have beaten watford).

To be honest there are a lot of refs who are frankly useless at the championship level, rob styles managing to award 4 of the 5 red cards given to PNE during the championship winning season of 2000 is another who I do not like.

Paul Danson has only had one good game with PNE, one decision in particular almost got us to the prem, but in all others has been useless.

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.

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 😱

Di Canio is an interesting one, one of the players I do not think officials took too kindly to. In fairness he did not do much to endear himself to them, and nor for that matter does Nugent.

Referees roles are very difficult, they have to consider the game in question, but also any history between players, or between players and fans. I think warning Nugent at Ipswich was in fact sensible, there are safety considerations at play amongst Ipswich fans (Rightly or Wrongly). Sadly football is not an entirely innocent game 🙁 .

Whether there was any leaning in favour of Leeds at Deepdale, or Derby at Pride Park the year before, is of course open to debate. 🙄

Lets get the Automatic this year 😀

Nobody will EVER compare to Barry Knight!!!😡

Totally agree. I was at that game with 2 friends who are Ipswich fans in the away end and they thought it was the worst reffing performance in the history of the game. He kept giving Forest free kicks for nowt and...

2 sendings off
7 yellow cards
2 penalties to Forest

None of the bookings were deserved. The red cards should've been yellow cards at most. And both penalties were a joke.

I agree

I said in a very loud voice on the AKTE before the game even kicked off that we needed to get on the refs back early. At the 1st contact from Leeds I was screaming at the ref and people were looking at me as though I was mad!

Even at the Brett leg breaking incident people were surprisingly calm. Not me.

We waited until we were 2-0 down before we got on his back and look what happened, Creswell walks, and sadly this was too late.

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.

However in the defence of PNE fans I can only think that they were stunned into silence by the tactics and selection by Stumpy (or as I prefer to call him because of his mannerisms Grumpy)

Sad but true, I often find myself the only one shouting at the ref from the back of the BSK 🙁 .

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.

We will need a strong ref yes to make sure you don't get your usual joke penalty per season against us. About time it happend the other way around.
