All part of the game G. Remember the goal we didn't get against Everton? That wasn't a play-off case, it was relegation. Some you win.....
That's my point we should accept the referees decision, good and bad equally, it was the fact that someone referred to the Charlton ref as an utter C*nt in another post which annoyed me.

That's because he was.. All game. A little different to a one of decision throughout a certain game.

Well it wasn't me. What I said was 'anyone that thinks today's referee was anything other than a c*nt, clearly wasn't at the game.' a comment I resolutely stand by.

Funny that. I wasn't at the game but I still think he's a c-unit. But I came to this conclusion from eye-witness reports (us lot) and research.

T'was me. :D I stand by it too, cos that's exactly what he was.

I posted his track record in previous games and he is a card-happy clown who gets away with a refereeing style that wouldn't wash anywhere but the lower leagues, where there isn't enough coverage to expose the fool. He has previous.

It wasn't a random bit of ref-slating. The man gave out 3 red cards in a single game against a side that played Charlton. Then he gives out 2 in ours against the same team. Could be an absolute coincidence. Either way, that's a lot of red cards and 2 yellow card sendings off in one game is ludicrous while we're at it. And if I ever see 3 red cards in a game there better be some quality fisticuffs.

Couldn't give a fiddler's about decisions evening out over the course of a season. Long story short, in that game, for us, he was crap.

The ref was shit.

Everyone has a right to criticise or praise someones performance on the pitch, whether they are a player or a referee. What no one has the right to do is abuse someone, in my opinion the use of the C word in the context it was comes under the term abuse and not criticism.

If the comment about playing sport at a top level was aimed at me then, I have played rugby in this country at the equivalent of current division 1 in football ( Two promotions of premiership ). At college I played for a club with a number of current home nation internationals, although I only played at second team level there. Not top level but certainly above average.

Played against most of the Northern National League 1 teams (wasn't a National Division when I played), 8 of the Championship sides and a couple of the Prem sides. It's a sorta "so what?" When it come to judging football refs.

When playing, the Ref was often a cnut (especially at schoolboy level). The only difference is, voicing that aloud got you 10 yards or more - didn't stop me thinking it though. It's also taught into you from being 7/8, so generally by the time you hit Colts, the discipline is there to bite yer lip. It's not going to hit football anytime soon, I suspect, and sure as hell isn't going to translate into the Stands this side of Christmas.

I do believe that our players should be able to understand when a ref is card happy and adapt accordingly. I'm not convinced Rickett's is bright enough.

Even dougie said after the Charlton game that he felt our players didn't help the referee in terms of how they played, and didn't adapt their game to him

Indeed, and I agree. Not going to stop me calling him a bent cnut on a Saturday though. :D

It waas ... & it will continue to be while you seem to believe that ;
a). You are alone on here in playing a sport at a decent level.
b). This (even if the above wasn't the case) gives you a unique insight that the rest of us don't ... indeed cant ... have.
c). referee's treatment in rugby is the same as football and that's going to change any time soon.

You went so far as to say that the referee in that Charlton match wasn't significant in our result ... which sort of tells the lie to points one & two, above.

These things even themselves out over a season ... which, given that the 'big-club syndrome' is a real phenomenon.

When it happens you have to suck it up as pissing & moaning about it isn't going to change anything at the time. This, at least, I tend to agree with.

Gizmo appears to be pissing & moaning about people pissing & moaning about the ref

Which means Bobo might be pissing & moaning about Gizmo pissing & moaning about people pissing & moaning about the ref

Which makes this post me pissing & moaning about Bobo pissing & moaning about Gizmo pissing & moaning about people pissing & moaning about the ref
