ilkleyram Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hope he carries on in our division - not only can the game not afford to lose referees but he'll be fitter and better than some of the ones we've seen this season. How many fully qualified referees does it take to manage a weekend football programme nowadays? In years gone by there were just the three at every match - now there's the match officials, 4th ones, assessors in the stands, VAR numpties and, no doubt, a few spares. No wonder there's a shortage even allowing for the addition of female officials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arteta should manage a team without the benefit of VAR in any game. Suppose we stay down on a crap decision that's 8 million quid, gate money on next season and a crap load of sponsorship we lose out on on. Just as relevant.

Basically indicating he kept giving free kicks and explaining them as he couldn't keep up and needed to keep stopping the game RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re regularly a yard or more behind play then they’re always going to be guessing about whether a player is offside or not. Whether the efl has the money or will to make them professionals or not is a reasonable question. They probably don’t have the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a few linemen this season that have relied on their guide dog to tell them what's happeing on the pitch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linesman gives the goal when the ball didn't cross the line, Then the keeper gets sent off, Do they have that signal in the ball for over the line in league2?

Guest Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 @Mucker1884 @The Last Post It was only a booking apparently - so either it's a trick of the light or the ref's cherry-on-top was showing the wrong colour to the goalie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
