palmer1 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 10 mins into a new season at Bramall lane and a "bigger" team already has a decision. Shocking red for Lidell of Notts County when the ref could have used his brain and either talked to him or at worst a yellow! 10 mins into a new season ffs Is this again the standard we have to look forward too?

NewBlue Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Ever since Woolmer last season I'm convinced Sheffield United buy the referees in this league. The fortune they get with decisions is uncanny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 First Game, also on television. The referee will have to get everything right and to the letter of the law. Also tougher sanctions for referees this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Whacked £100 on it at evens. Correct decision that. His leg was very high and he caught the player flush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyOAFC Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Would of thought Notts would of taken a few more in attendance. Porter just missed a sitter. HA!

LeylandLatic Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 2-1 now, just gone back ahead from a freekick - didn't look like a freekick at all :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyOAFC Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Don't know how that was a Free Kick to Sheff Utd leading to the 2nd Sheff goal. Edited August 2, 2013 by AnthonyOAFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) He got his foot on the ball first, his foot was high but he was going for the ball but not great I agree however 10 minutes into a new season he could have used some common sense spoken to him and booked him. There will be worse incidents around the country tomorrow that won't see red. Edited August 2, 2013 by palmer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good for us this season then,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 In fairness I can see why the red. Shame for the lad but his foot was high even though he touched the ball first. Lets see if they appeal, they wont win if they do. As for the free kick which leads to the goal....WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 To be honest Sheffield United looked a decent footballing team and played how LJ wants the Latics to play, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex_balls Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 That Sheff U game at home last season was disgraceful in terms of a refereeing display, still can't believe some of the decisions that went their way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec1954 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It was a clear red. Foot flat into his ribs. The defender did not complain. QED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petelatics Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Didn't see the game but your question was 'is this the standard we can look forward to?' Well, as a season ticket holder I can count on one hand the number of decent official we have had. The refs and there assistants are normally dreadful and I see no reason to expect better. Enjoy the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJazzer Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just seen it! How can anyone think that isn't a red card? Studs up, straight into the ribs? Red all day! That would have taken Wes or LJ's head off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
