Ram-Alf Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 10 hours ago, Brailsford Ram said: This is the same referee who was heavily criticised by both Oxford and Ipswich recently for allowing the fogbound game at Oxford to continue. At 75 minutes he informed both captains that if he abandoned the game with 75 minutes played the result would stand with Oxford winning 2-1. The Ipswich captain elected to continue but the ref had got it wrong - if he had abandoned it then, there would have been a rearranged game. Oxford won 2-1. He was crap when officiating in Scotland. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10927601/Referee-Bobby-Madden-resigns-SFA-two-decades-Scotland-relocates-England.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's where the players and referee come in and out. It's to make them feel safer. Strange, the referee wasn't intimidated at all - seemed to be loving the attention. See photo above! Our players, on the other hand, looked terrified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) It's more about the experience for younger fans than what's happening on the pitch. Not a criticism, but if the performance doesn't allow them to do this sort of stuff, they'll just go elsewhere to carry on their day out. You've only got to look around you at the end of the game to see the demographic of those who are there for the football and are prepared to see it out. Apparently this was us in 85th minute.

Rambam Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 First away game I’ve been to for a while. It went down hill after the c*** up in defence and the referee’s bizarre decision to override the linesman’s offside flag. He was also not booking their players when he clearly needed to. A referee who likes to be the centre of attention. The number of terrible referees in this league is horrific. We could have salvaged this, but too many players were off their game. Wildsmith, after being almost impeccable all season is beginning to worry me. The stand given to the away fans is poorly designed, with minimal legroom, insufficient exits and toilets. There was quite a lot of drunkenness, so when fights break out amongst the same team’s fans, there’s a problem. So, nowhere near as enjoyable an experience as my last visit there, almost exactly ten years ago, when we won 2-1, with that great goal where Wisdom ran down the wing and crossed to the head of Chris Martin. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Barnsley get away with funnelling 5,000 away fans through one end of that concourse. It just seems unnecessary to create a potential problem that wouldn't exist if there was another set of turnstiles further round the back of the stand. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture looks like we've just conceded the 4th so that would be the 91st minute. I left after the 4th went in as the performance did not deserve a clap off the pitch.

I’m not sure that was the 85th minute. I stayed until the end but moved nearer the exit on about the 90th minute. I had to negotiate my way past a few more than that photo suggests.

Crewton Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 15 hours ago, RoyMac5 said: We hit the bar and missed at least two sitters. We were poor, you were okay. It was probably one of the least "4-1" games I've seen. I don't remember many Barnsley chances created through their own football, but they were very effective with their high press. We dealt with that badly, and most of their chances came from us failing to clear our lines effectively. By contrast, we created allot of chances, two of which were tap-ins that we fluffed, and some of their defending was desperate in the second half, with several professional fouls (including the rugby tackle on NML) and almost Lincolnesque levels of timewasting (4 minutes of added time at the end - wtf?) Their manager will be delighted that they got away with it, in part due to the referee's performance. The most annoying aspect of the loss is that with even a modicum of the defensive composure we've shown under Warne, and a greater determination to finish those chances, we might even have won that. I'm sure Warne will be stressing to them how that game could have gone so differently. Foxy Ram, RoyMac5, SKRam and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I saw those yesterday when I went to that end of the stand in my desperate search for a cup of tea without a massive queue. Never been down that end before. How do you get to them? Is there an external walk around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's whilst we were waiting to kick off after the 4th goal, I went to leave after it went in and took an age to get to the exit, and when I looked back they were still celebrating, seemed like a good minutes worth of time after the goal, enough for the scoreboard to be altered, just surprised their keeper is in shot and he didn't go to join in HorsforthRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
