Look where the lino is as well.
It's embarrassing, he genuinely had no clue what was going on for most of the game.
As said. That throw in decision was shocking

We were poor last night, the officials were poor. I can accept referees making bad decisions throughout the game, shit happens but only 3 minutes added time was an absolute joke.

No where near offside for the first.

You’ve seen the still he’s about 3 yards away

Well he was right in front of us ( we had the same view as Oggy ) he was racing down there and missed it completely - even at three yards it was still way over - not excusing our defending but it’s disappointing that a mistake lead to their goal

Utterly ridiculous. No-one, looking back at that could say that, that was a foul.
I get the feeling the ref just assumed that MVE must have pulled him back.

Just watching a bit of Sheffield derby & ball goes out for a throw-in, Sheff Utd player thinks it's for them and goes to take it but referee gives it to Sheff Wed so player says "You're fucking shit, how is that for them?" & then referee blows for half time and same player walks past referee still having a go. How is that not at least a yellow card?

It’s why it’s impossible to ref grassroots

I thought it should be a red but wasn't sure. Surely the FA/EFL should be looking at things as clear as that. Just because it is a derby & they can be very volatile is no excuse & is poor officiating which as you say doesn't help referees lower down the pyramid

Well it's foul and abusive language. If every player who swore at a referee got sent off as they should be then it would soon stop.I thought it should be a red but wasn't sure.

Why is it always grassroots? Anybody mentions professional refs being incompetent and it's just a rant about people over the park.
Let's face it, the vast majority of refs in our league are dog shit. Linos even worse.

They should use the rules and send players off then, would soon stop.
They tried that clampdown on time wasting but adding it all on at the end. Then they just couldn't be arsed any more.

Because it filters down, they see players in PL & EFL get away with it so do it themselves.Why is it always grassroots? Anybody mentions professional refs being incompetent and it's just a rant about people over the park.

Even more reason for professional refs to do their jobs properly then.
My point is that if anybody mentions a pro ref being abysmal it's "yeah but grass roots".

Because no matter what they try players and managers try to bend the rules. Imaginary head injuries. A lot of games right across Europe refs are ignoring blatant diving and waving play on.

Why don't you become a ref or linesperson and see how well you do ?Why is it always grassroots? Anybody mentions professional refs being incompetent and it's just a rant about people over the park.

Whilst I agree that professional refs should do their jobs properly there is no excuse for how players, parents and coaches treat referees at grass root level. The example needs setting at professional level by coaches/managers & players. Yes I swear in day to day life but the way professional footballers treat referees is appalling.

It would be nice for a manager/coach to take a stance like Clough did at Forest, maybe FL should take the lead. Yes players can challenge decisions but there is a proper way to do it & certainly no need for abusive language.

I think you were swayed by the result
apart from the Milan one, a lot of clear fouls werent given
A couple of times EMC was dragged down, and got back up still with the ball lol
and he also lost control a couple of times

Ha is that how it is for everything then? Can't say somebody can't do their job unless you do it?
If I was incompetent at my actual job as a lot of the officials we have had this year, I'd be at the job centre.

Yeah exactly. He missed a fair bit and went through a phase of just giving them everything.

Strange decision first half where it seemed that EMC had just won back the ball in their box and he gave a foul. Looked very much like scoring if it hadn't been given

Someone explain to me why he spoke to Kitching yesterday after their player went down on the edge of our box.
Play continued and when it eventually stopped he approached the player on the floor and spoke to him.
He then went over to Kitching and had a long conversation. About what?
The referee had seen nothing,the assistant had seen nothing. Why approach Kitching and speak to him, as captain Allen should have run over and asked the referee what he thought he was doing.
