Title: The numpty in the West Stand….
Post by: Filo on January 04, 2025, 05:35:10 pm
78 mins gone, we’re chasing the game and Sterry has a ball and the numpty decides to launch the ball that went into the stands onto the pitch, we really do have some thicko’s watching us!

It hit Sterry and didn’t enter the field of play didn’t it?

It did, but thats not the point really, just think about our position in the game, you do that when the opposition is chasing the game, not when we are

I agree but you said launched onto the pitch? So it wasn’t really as bad an incident as you are suggesting.

He was probably just throwing it back lol.
Maybe he thought he was helping in the heat of the moment.
No point in exaggerating things, no harm done.

It did, what surprised me was that Sterry stayed on his feet.

Right in front of me, lad was just throwing it back from the disabled area.

Fair enough, from the South Stand it looked like it bounced along pitch side.
Still, I imagine the guy was just getting the ball back and trying to help, rather than stop us playing…

Can i just say it was a person who was waiting to go out and he was standing in the Disabled area, threw ball towards Sterry , the person went down on his haunches made some comment and went out from the disabled area ..........just so any dont think the numpty was a Disabled or carer supporter

Is it meaningless though?
what if we took a quick throw in, someone went through on goal and the ref stops play because one of our home fans throws the ball back on the pitch? Fans just need to think before doing that, roll it down the steps or something, throw it onto the pitch when the opposition are trying to take a quick throw, not our team

Can’t recall the game but possibly Tranmere I recall two balls being on the pitch, ref spotted it as we were on the attack but he allowed play to continue. Depends on the ref and although I can see where you’re coming from with that explanation but your basically complaining about something that had zero effect on the game other than it hitting sterrys back.

Well, happened 3 times today once from the West Stand and twice from the South Stand, the second one from the South Stand was a kick out of the hands from the front row, why not just drop it over the wall?

 McCann looked to want a ball boy to be quicker, we took the throw, three passes later our keeper had it.

Ball boys are there to put the balls on the cones now. They are not ball boys in the traditional sense.

TSL had them fired up towards end of game but blew one opportunity when he played a moving ball

Ref was " miles away " but spotted it even though to me even further away it looked to have stopped

When you consider what the ref did miss during the game, and allow to happen, such as throw ins a significant distance from where the ball went out, what difference would slightly moving ball have made, even if it had been slightly moving.

I believe it was only his third game refereeing in the league. He looked every bit like a rookie.

It was the first game he has refereed in the league Usher although he has had two league games as fourth official.

You have to chuckle about decisions like that. That West stand linesman witnessed players stealing about 10 yards at several throw-ins right in front of him (especially in the first half). They were allowed to get away with that, but a tiny technicality like a suspicion of the ball moving slightly when the keeper kicks it is frowned upon like it's a massive advantage and must not be allowed to happen!

It looked to me like it had just stopped rolling as he kicked it. We sit almost in line with it and I was shouting don’t kick it as he drew his foot back but it did seem to stop just before he kicked it.
Like the ref, that linesman wasn’t fit for purpose. I couldn’t believe just how quick they were to give free kicks for them whilst ignoring some more obvious ones to us.

The ball was still moving when he re-took it too, but they missed that.

What does ironside have to do to be awarded a free kick.??

I also thought the ball had stopped moving when Teddy kicked it.

I did too but IF it actually was moving then it was to such a minuscule degree that it could have made no material difference to the kick.

I think Ironside looks for free-kicks and should perhaps try being a bit stronger when contact is made.  Perhaps he doesn't get the free kicks he 'deserves' because the refs have got wise to him.

Absolutely. I said on Saturday that when Lewis Guy kept falling over, apparently looking for a free kick he was given Dog's abuse. Ironside appears to do the same thing regularly but gets away with such condemnation. He's not the only one, either.

In my opinion, our players prioritise being victims of fouls far too often, and when they actually are fouled, it is a bit like crying wolf in the official's eyes.
