He just turns up every game; runs and works like a Trojan for the team … at 7,000 rpm - turbo with intercooler and nitrous oxide injection .. for 90+ minutes. huge admiration for his commitment and professionalism S8TY, Jimbo Ram, Caerphilly Ram and 14 others 11 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand the frustration but his observations will not make a blind bit of difference. Agree don’t think the complaints about officials reflect well on Rooney and don’t think they help the team at all. Id like to see us start our experienced defenders and aim for clean sheets.

SBW Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Rooney has done himself and the club so proud, considering the circumstances the fact that relegation is still not official is amazing and he deserves great credit. However, his criticism of officials if getting embarrassing. There's been plenty of decision that we have benefitted from, including the Allsopp one today. He comes across as a bit of a Alex Ferguson spoilt brat with his moaning. Decisions go both ways, Wayne, accept it. You're getting a reputation as a moaner, just manage what you can, stop trying to manage officials. jimtastic56, Carl Sagan, MickD and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think Wayne has clicked on that you can only manipulate referees by moaning about them if you’re a top club. He’s not wrong in what he’s saying but it wont manipulate them at all. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he probably didn’t want to give the free kick for that either. The referee is the sole arbiter of time. When time is up, that's it. The only time time is added is for a penalty to be taken, not a corner or free kick. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right, Paterson made a meal of it as he knew he could not get the ball. The Davies handball also correct, too close, no intent and trying to get his arm out of the way. Plange penalty no problem, as for the one at the end. ? DCFC1388, Kathcairns and angieram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I actually thought the ref had a decent game and wasn't fooled by the Paterson Incident with Allsop and also was right not to give a pen against Curtis but we have all seen them given...on the whole i thought the ref was one of the better ones we've had jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltRam Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) I want Wayne calling out injustices. Fighting our corner, and most importantly, the players' corner.

He’s young though, he’ll learn and for what he’s done this season he’s got a free pass from me with a long long use by date.

It's got to the stage where the control of time should be taken away from the referee and given to another official. Match after match you see keepers wasting time and the ridiculous running to your fans when a goal is scored is farcical - a couple of goals can easily waste 3 minutes before a restart, nearly always to the benefit of the winning team. Stoppages for injuries, substitutions etc can be accurately gauged and once the 90 minutes is up that's it. Of course it will never happen.

Crewton Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 If only referees had blown for time up before a deadball kick could be taken more often we'd have even more to complain about. But it happens so rarely because referees know the manager of the attacking team is bound to complain about it. Then there's the Clive Thomas World Cup type incidents that cause an even bigger stink. Is it time to introduce a Rugby-type ruling : that if the defending team commits a foul, or kicks the ball out of play before "time" is up, then play continues until the ball is dead through normal play but not through foul play? jimtastic56 and jono 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for WR he can do that himself, If you see a decision that goes against you time and time again and with us in the situation we're in how would you deal with it, Myself I'd be on the pitch, Finger in the Refs face and give him as much verbal as I could at the time, Your right tho, A letter will be on it's way to WR asking for his explanation of his comments, A fine maybe, A touchline ban maybe, But it has to be said...the ones in the middle decide who gets the points in some circumstances and are getting worse Kathcairns and Ted McMinn Football Genius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Just seen the highlights, wow bad defensively for their goals, their player took them well. I thought our goal was a penalty. I also thought we should have had a penalty at the end. when I first saw Our keeper bring their player down I thought it was a red. On looking at the replay it wasn’t a foul. If I was Swanseas manager I would have a go at him, if he stayed on his feet he would either have scored or been brought down. Falling to the floor dosnt count. Swansea look a decent team (on TV) jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightly so! Of course someone will come along and say it's the referee who measures the time, makes the decision, nothing in the rules etc but it's about precedent, this never happens, free kicks/corners are allowed to be taken and that passage of play allowed to complete, that's the accepted approach.
