Linesmen

Postby Jon on Sun Mar 15, 2009 8:00 pm

Well I watched the Rooks play Crown Paints today and for the first time this year I'm going to congratulate the linesmen on the handling of the game. No complaints whatsoever from dodgy or incorrect decisions. Well done to whoever they were. :D :D :D

Prior to the Rooks game I was watching a game in progress and those linesmen ought to be ashamed of themselves. I'm not sure what word to use but it's about five rungs up from biased. Absolutely shameful would be a fair description of their antics and that's just what they were...antics. :evil: Offside was the main issue, again flagging for offside when he's 15 yards in front of play. I was almost level and no way was the lad offside, the supporters new it too but what can you do. :roll: Same chap twice gave a decision i.e. a throw in and a goal kick and the ref, full credit to him, overuled him. This isn't bad linesmanship it's out and out cheating and I think the ref began to see it. 8)

The linesman on my side spent a huge part of the game ten yards inside the half I was stood in, how the heck can he have the audacity to flag an offside when he wasn't even in the half of the pitch he should have been in? The ref should have seen this and allowed play to continue. :?

I know it's easy to critisise but what pleasure is there in giving your team an unfair advantage. Winning become meaningless in these circumstances. Like I've said in the past Saints are the only refs I've seen give penalties against their own teams. :wink:
