One or two bad fouls not recognised by official, whatever else we are a fair team who try to play football and let the opposition play.
oh we let everyone else play alright, that's part of the problem. ffs don't go blaming the officials, there's always someone on here who does it after a game.
The ref was poor and definitely favoured Reading. They didnt need any help and would still have won comfortably without his help though. Did annoy me at the time though epecially as they could push us off the ball without penalty but the few times we pushed them the ref couldnt blow for a foul fast enough. glaring example Rose barged over from behind - ref waves play on he runs back and clatters their player from behind (it was a foul0 and gets booked. they also seemed to be allowed to takle from behind and as long as they played the ball it didnt matter if they played the man as well which isnt my understanding of the rules these days but as I already said we would have lost regardless possibly by a smaller margin though
Bang on. Didn'y change the outcome, just added to my frustration. Oh and I thought their number 5 (Preece?) was reffing the game. Always in the ear of the official, arms round each other etc. Really influenced the decision making of the ref.
the ,chunky, lino missed 3 blaitent offsides in 4 minutes and a stone wall handball. but 2nd half we were dire
crock of *****, mistakes are made every game, by officials and players, but the ones magnified are by those in black. rose isn't strong enough so gets outmuscled.
The officials were poor but still not as bad as we were. Non-existant in 2nd half, and we never looked like creating in the 1st.
Someone in such poor physical condition as the linesman should not be allowed anywhere near professional sport. He missed offsides because he was so far behind play.
