Whilst we continue to dispair at the ineptitude of the Reds performance, lets just have a mention for a couple of blokes who were even worse. The referee was giving free kicks for people jumping near players. Twice in the first half he blew up against Bogdanovic when he was nowhere near their defender. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that it's one of the most uneven games I've seen for free kicks as opposed to dangerous challenges. The ref was blowing every minute and yet there was only one dodgy challenge (from Macken) and that didn't even warrant a free kick from the ref. But the linesman in front of the west stand did his best to outdo him. He didn't have a lot to do, but man did he do it badly. The standard of officials this season has been appalling.
oh mate...please NO...do not hide the fact we are ***** behind the officials comeon matey ... its time all and sundry admitted we have a manager who is less capable of running a bath than he is of running a football team.
RE: oh mate...please NO...do not hide the fact we are ***** behind the officials He wasn't great. Seen worse, but; 1. Should have booked the Ipswich player looking for a pen. 2. Consistantly in the way as we (unusually instead of wanging it over) played the ball across the offensive midfield.
