The Ref

[Usher wide.]

What happened to the stop the clock idea every time the ball isn't in play?

Exactly!

The booking for McCann was the icing on the cake. It was a Rovers free kick two feet inside the line right by the Rovers dug out as we were pressing for an equaliser.

The referee came & moved the ball to within inches of the line & when Grant ‘pointed out’ it was further in field, the ref walked back, booked him, then as he walked back to ‘his position’ Sbarra & Molyneau moved the ball back into position two feet from the line!

What the fri**en hell is going on with these jumped up ‘officials’!

We probably needed another couple of penalty appeals to get anything-that was the ref we had away at Sutton last season who missed 3 nailed on penalties (including one in 1st minute when he rubbed salt in the wound and booked Billy H) before finally giving us one

And don't forget to look up 17th August on Rate the Ref

Sure that was same story v Newport

[roversdude]

It was DW you are correct

[GazLaz]

Do as they do in Rugby and allow the physio’s on during play

Something needs doing regarding injuries/ treatment of injuries. Drives me insane.

I’m finding myself becoming really disenchanted with the game at the moment. Just so frustrating turning up to watch a football match that’s poorly officiated, and with teams not even attempting to play the game just spoiling and time wasting.

Same here, I’ve decided this will be my last season watching rovers or any football.No more season tickets as I’m more than bored of watching boring football on a regular basis.

andysly, donnyguy..I feel your frustrations fellas but c’mon, are we going to let 3 ‘giant penguins’ spoil a season that will see us out of this division then another one that with a following wind, will see us playing at an even higher level where we no longer have to watch failed  ‘car crash dummies’ officiating games…….no we aren’t are we.
