MadAmster Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) IMO, as a former ref (retired aged 68, 2 years ago) I cannot remember a single game where either of Madley brothers reffed DCFC and I came away thinking "what a good ref, even handed and got the calls right". Watch PWs pre match interview on RamsTV, even he went so far as to mention that "looking at where the refs from" is not something they do... so they must be aware...

Mucker1884 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 33 minutes ago, Carl Sagan said: I do think it's very wrong that a former Barnsley youth player is reffing this match. So I'm pleased word has gotten out, meaning at least Madley will know he's under scrutiny, which has to be better for us than not. If there's a contentious call to be made against us, he will think twice. Here's what I put on Twitter yesterday evening. 130,000 views, so at least it's been noticed. From the "Former Barnsley player" angle, I've given you an applauding reaction. I'd do the same on twixxer, but I don't go on there. 👍 As I've already hinted at, I think referencing a potential "Banning from future DCFC games", due to his previously (admittedly atrocious) handling of our game v Burnley as a tad tinpot... but hasten to add, we fans are allowed to be tinpot sometimes. It should be in our nature. 🐏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't work out whether the ref comment was a coincidence or whether he's slipped it in just to keep everyone on their toes. If he's done it on purpose then kudos to him because he didn't linger on the comment at all, just carried on with his ramblings. angieram and DerbyAleMan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKANorwichExile Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I wasn't confident about this one before I saw the ref news, now I'm bricking it. I'de be delighted with a point from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerphilly Ram Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hdf286?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile Pre-match presser with the bbc above, my main takeaways from it; - Gayle deal was delayed by the EFL scrutinising the deal due to our recent situation. - Gayle has trained since Monday and is fit to play on Sat but he did downplay his readiness a little bit, maybe fit to start, maybe fit for 60 mins. - CBT back in training with the team, Warne said he seems to be over his injury but needs more time in training to be up to speed (I assume with how the team plays). - Waghorn back in training with the team, Saturday might be too soon for him to play. - Fozzy is back on the grass but 2 weeks away from being involved with the squad - Washington struggling with a knee injury. Warne mentioned the summer so it’s seemingly the injury he had before joining us rather than linked to the ankle injury done on international duty. - Warne said if you asked Collins he’d say he’s fit to play on Saturday but the medical team say he’s not. - Vickers back soon.

Carl Sagan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 1 hour ago, angieram said: Including by Paul Warne, if you listen to his interview on the website. Fantastic! "where the ref comes from" slipped in there. Well done Paul Warne, not dwelling on it but making sure Madley is aware. angieram, SKRam, Premier ram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Paul Warne, not dwelling on it but making sure Madley is aware. I don't you realise how pure evil Madley is. And untouchable. He will be even more biased now against us, thanks to Warne's comments and your tweet. I'm thinking of forming a militia to arrest anyone in the uk called Madley, just to be sure none of this hideous mafia family can be called upon to prevent us winning. Can't believe the club haven't already started this to be honest. We laugh at Forest, but there would already be bakeries burning by now. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether this gets back to Madley or not, you can bet he has warned the players not to skate on thin ice. There will be no risks being taken when it comes to behaviour or "taking one for the team". Don't give the bloke a choice to make... DiggerB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) How can Blackett-Taylor go from being injury free all season, to being on his arse for fitness since joining 🤔 Had high hopes for him but looks totally out his depth in the cameos and picking up some random injuries all a sudden. Washington is Thorne Mark II it seems, guy can't catch a break. So my question is, whys he reluctant to bring Tony Weston into the mix? Rather continuing with no attacking options on the bench..

Hourihane would no doubt sabotage all of our deadball kicks by booting them 60' in the air over the bar, which is unheard of. Fear not though, the FA/EFL have acted swiftly to negate this threat by appointing a referee guaranteed to give is f*** all!

jimtastic56 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Struggling to get my Bet-Builder on for Saturday. Barnsley to get over 20 corners , 1 or more penalties . Rams to get over 20 offsides , 8 or more bookings and a sending off . Madley to “High Five “ a Barnsley player anytime during the game .

That ended his career entirely for a bit, don't know if he's still on a track back. Madley is a tool and will be forever a tool, In the same bracket a Atwell. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50960288#:~:text=In a blog post%2C Madley said he was,due to a change in his personal circumstances".

DCFC1388 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Can see us playing 3421 on Sat - Wildsmith - Nelson Bradley Cashin - Nyambe Adams Hourihane Elder - NML Bird - Gayle Loach Wilson Thompson Smith Sibley CBT Barkhuizen Ward, Fornah & Waggy missing out as the last 3 of the 20 outfield players Warne said are now training. Maybe Waggy makes the bench over CBT depending on both their fitness. Our squad is starting to look strong going into this crucial period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
