      Oh it would have been funny if he’d let it go – but then again we’d probably have missed :D

        I would imagine we knew what he was going to do otherwise Morsy (and everyone else) would have been furious.

          I agree. Funny though.

            I know there’s a ref that posts on here sometimes. I’m curious to know if the laws of the game would have meant that the ref was in his rights to let us carry on? He’d already told Oxford to line up but they carried on faffing around.

            Yes, the ref would have been in his rights to let Latics carry on although to be honest from a match management point of view he did the best thing.

            I don’t know if anyone remembers but when we played Wrexham in the Auto Windscreens Northern Final in 1999 at the Racecourse Ground, Simon Haworth scored down at their end & then ran all the way back up the pitch to the away end (accompanied by all the players). The ref in that game let Wrexham take the kick off & for play to continue – you can see the moment on the season highlights dvd/video when the players realise that they’ve kicked off

            Didn’t the sweaties win a game that way?. The home team refused to come out so the heathens kicked off and scored and won the game.

                Tilders, if the referee was ready to start the 2nd half and we obviously were could he have allowed us to go up field and score?. Is there any precedences that have been set. Is it simply down to playing the game in the correct spirit. What action could he have taken against Oxford for delaying the game.

                Yes he could have allowed us to score but in a tight game with promotion & relegation at stake he’d have just caused a whole heap of trouble for himself – there precedents for allowing the kick off when one team is titting about such as the Latics one i mentioned. Not sure if it’s ever led to goals though
                The ref could have cautioned the captain for delaying the restart of play
