Walkley Ram Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Just seen Madley in a pub in Barnsley. Having a pint with Toby Tyke. Wearing full Barnsley kit, cleaning his red cards, and he was practicing how to write "Mendez-Laing" in a little black book. On the dart board was a ram. Make of that what you will.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 44 minutes ago, Mucker1884 said: Most certainly I do. Hence my support for Rams fans kicking up a fuss and calling him a Bamford very, very loudly. But my point of contention was mainly against the following quote of yours: Maybe so... if we (The club) had previously made public and/or official complaints against him, (Re the Burnley game, or any other for that matter), and particularly if the authorities had then agreed our complaints were valid. But that's not the case, so I repeat, the club should most certainly not be "all over this in the media, citing Madley's incompetence...". That would merely make us (The club) look very silly indeed! We'd be labelled pathetic. That's our (The fans) job, not the club's! 👀 Why, less than a full week ago, we were all on here taking a swipe at some fat bloke in charge of our last opponents who was doing just that. Pre-match digs at the ref, with no cause nor reason to! Now you're exclaiming we're wanting our own club to do the same? It's a massive no from me. Sorry! 🐏 Under affiliation regs he surely shouldn't be ref. Unless Barnsley booted him out, gave him 2 quid for a sandwich and laughed as they shut the door in his face. In that case he probably hates them and it's all good. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltRam Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) That Burnley game will live long in the memory. 'The ref's a Bamford and his wife's a slag' was the official line from the away end, as I recall. Abysmal decisions, rivalled only by Atwell in that era. I think he's biased. Half a chance and he'll do us down. Add in the Barnsley apprentice factor, and it's an abysmal (AKA standard) appointment by the EF...F...L.

Some folk on here are already convinced that the referee fraternity in general have it in for us. Worst still, they think it’s driven by the EFL.😅 Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after you.👀 ariotofmyown, Tamworthram and NegativeCreep 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I was driving around Belper with my dad practicing for my driving test with that Burnley game on the radio. Radio Derby never mentioned Jeff’s disallowed goal so I got to be angry again when I saw the highlights! Funny what you remember, innit?

Mucker1884 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) 6 hours ago, uttoxram75 said: You never seen that Burnley match mate? Yes mate. I'm in danger of repeating myself, so apologies... He's a s*** ref... but only according to us fans. We'll be as biased as he is. But it's not official. The club didn't report him. He wasn't held to account. He never got demoted due to a poor display and/or making wrong decisions. He didn't get reprimanded for wrongly sending off CM. (Nor do I recall that red card being rescinded, but I stand to be corrected on that). On paper, he's no more than a s*** ref in the eyes of our fans. There is no official record (Above and beyond the thoughts and opinions of a bunch of football fans on a forum) of him having a poor game. His peers and hierarchy won't have it noted that "He has form" against us. It's right that we fans slag him off. My point is that the club should not make any form of official complaint pre-match, (as was being suggested by others on here) all because he once had a s*** game, and angered many of our fans. That would be tin-pot, and would make us a laughing stock amongst fans of other clubs.

Madley gave Chris Martin a second yellow for being fouled and so it wasn't a straight red, so it couldn't be appealed and CM got a one match ban.

I'm not sure you could describe the chants as "official"😀 I'm not entirely comfortable with his appointment for this game but I don't think there are any real grounds to suspect he is biased especially if, as you have, you separate out the Barnsley apprentice factor. The EFL don't appoint referees per se. Do we know it's actually them that select the referees for specific games? I'm not convinced they do but happy to be proved wrong. Whoever did select him though has made a bold decision that should perhaps, by applying a bit of common sense, have been avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 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.

ram59 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 It's a stupid appointment and puts unnecessary pressure on him. There are two ways at looking at this situation and any crucial decision will be questioned. From our point of view, he cost us promotion 10 years ago and he's someone who was once on Barnsley's books and has always had a soft spot for them. From Barnsley's point of view, he's always been bitter about Barnsley after they ended his dreams of being a pro footballer, added to that he supports one of their local rivals. We'll know which one it is on Saturday night, unless he manages to have the perfect game and there are no controversies, but that is unlikely with so much at stake.

Anag Ram Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 This forum is nuts sometimes. Slagging off Steve Evans last week for his comments on referees then suggesting Madley might be biased against us.
