mikejh45 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Great performance, but has anybody worked out the puzzling free kick he gave away in the corner in the second half? Was it for: - elbowing - kicking out - gesticulating to the linesman (sorry - assistant referee) - ruining the linesman 1-0 home win bet - shielding the ball in a way that runs down the clock in an offensive manner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellys_discopants Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Interesting decision, and one i could quite get my head around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Lino gave it for holding off the defender. If he's consistent then he'll be waving his flag every challenge. It was a poor decision and the type ManUre will never suffer from. Edited February 8, 2009 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekWilson_1968 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Lino gave it for holding off the defender. If he's consistent then he'll be waving his flag ever challenge. It was a poor decision and the type ManUre will never suffer from. The officials were crap. That liner must have got 70% of his decisions wrong.

real Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I was watching it in the pub with my 13 year old daughter. I made a comment direct at the ref, about there being 2 teams. My daughter then said "yeah, the ref's an arse". I thought she was spot on, but out of order for using such language. I asked her to repeat what she said:- "2 teams, the ref's and ours". Oops !

the_mighty_bosh Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Interestingly my brother said that last week he saw the same thing happening when watching Exeter Vs Barnet the other week, as in the striker did nothing wrong but made it obvious that he was running down the clock, and the ref blew up immediately. So it's probably a new initiative that they've brought in...not that it affects Prem teams yet because they are MASSIVE! (i.e. Man City yesterday).

Scapegoat Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Bad call, the commentators were aghast as well. However we did 'get away' with Taylors hand ball - would have been a cruel end to the game for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
