Referee Analysis Barnsley (5 Viewers)

[Johhny Blue]

Good job we won but this ref was terrible.
Free kick against McFadz when he was fouled twice in a matter of seconds.
Bought lots of dives throughout the game
Throw ins (worth a thread) It’s getting farcical. He moved back one for each side but almost every throw gained 10-15 yds. It’s time to give refs the discretion to award the throw to the other team for blatent encroachment
Often out of position including one time off the field.
Good job he didn’t have to make any big decisions
Overall rating 4

Lee Mason being Lee Mason

 

[Frostie]

Feared the worst when I saw in the week it was Lee Mason but wasn't as bad as feared, still not great though. His interpretation of advantages was utterly baffling.

Its about time cheating players are punished...be it our players or opposition because its fucking rife now...thats not sport its see how much you can cheat and con the blind refs

The irony is we scored the second goal after they stole 20 yards from the throw in.

Its sad that over the season I’ve started willing us to do it simply because it works against us so much. Teams have no choice but to do it or be at a disadvantage, refs need to be the ones stamping it out across the board.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Would have to re-visit our goal to see if we did steal the 20

Ignore this - misread the post by skyblueeyes revisited

Their throws were getting more and more blatant as the game went on.

I actually thought Mason wasn’t too bad yesterday. Couple of things, but pretty minor.

Perhaps he wasn't but how about today?

Not in HK.

I’m in Hong Kong mate! It was yesterday for me when I posted that!

Shocking referee missed our 2nd goal being offside by 10 yards.

To be fair, that’s the lino’s job!

Is there ever a game where a finger can’t be pointed at the officials, I thought Lee Mason showed the difference between our normal refs and a top rated one, I thought he was anonymous but then again always up with play, managed the game well kept it flowing and not finneky of course as said we won’t agree with every decision for a start we see incidents usually from a different angle to him and we tend to come to an opinion with our Sky Blue specs on. Our second goal ? not seen a replay yet but off-side is usually a linesman decision.

What did you think of the throw ins?

 

[rhino1002]

there was a time when the law was changed to make taking a throw in from the wrong place a foul throw
but they all seemed to get bored with implementing that so it faded into obscurity
Equally referees and linesman (sorry assistant referees ) don't seem to enforce the foul throw law any more
i can watch any number of games when players lift one foot of the ground especially when throwing the a ball longer than normal
it never gets pulled up any more unless they have changed the law without me knowing

 

[Nick]

In terms of foul throws, can they throw it downwards now?

So many throws seem to be aimed downwards and I always thought it was a foul throw.

No its yet another way they disregard the law
the player should be behind the line have both feet on the ground at the point of delivery and deliver the ball from above or behind the head line (not in front of the the head)

Didn’t they change that behind the line one? I’m sure I remember us scoring from a throw-in a couple seasons ago and the opposition fans going crazy because his foot was on the line. Someone then showed the rules and it turned out it was legal.

yes you are correct
the foot can be on the line but not over it

 

[rhino1002]

its the foot of the ground that gets constantly missed though
it happens a few times in each game i watch

I was watching the game not throw ins, pinching yards at throw ins has gone on for years.

Tbf, that one where one of our lot was fouled (can't remember who) and the advantage was to find ourselves with the ball on the touchline surrounded by 3 opposition players was a well-played advantage, for Barnsley.

It has, and we're no angels. But one or two of Barnsley's were taking the piss a bit.

 

[Magwitch1]

One of their worst ones led to our second goal, football is a funny old game.

Yep. O'Hare robbed their wing-back dallying on the ball & he cynically hauled him down, should have been a free kick & yellow card. Instead Biamou literally on the right touch line had to perform a fancy flick just to keep the ball in, retain possession & roll it back to O'Hare who was by then surrounded. Terrible decision.

It's gotten so much worse though. To ridiculous lengths. Never ever been as bad as it is now.

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

Not sure it was ten yards but on watching it back Godden's surely, even on the most generous reading, level with their last man (but leaning offside) - though probably a clear couple of yards offside at the exact moment O'Hare lumps the ball forwards.

None of their players called for it either though.

 

[Mcbean]

Thought Fadz was pretty cool when he was thrown to the floor and had a foul awarded against him

thing is with the throw ins - who is going to take over when McCallum goes elsewhere - Barnsley couldn’t handle them

 

[scottccfc]

can see McCallum coming back on loan again next year now norwich have been promoted.

They were more than pinching them...

 

[Sick Boy]

More likely he returns on a permanent as I doubt they’ve paid the full transfer fee yet.

Maybe he’ll stick around long enough for a testimonial
