Shrewsbury

I said when we lost at Shrewsbury that they wold be lucky to make the play offs, and I will stick by it. Had the referee and his side kicks seen the incident above and given the penalty (and possibly a yellow card) the score line and table would look very different now.

I was sat right behind the lino that didn’t give that and was dumbstruck as to how he didn’t give it as he had clear sight of it and was looking right at it…. he just looked over at the ref and carried on.

But I am sure the ‘it’ll all work out over the season’ brigade will say it will all work out over the season.

I would rather they just make the right decisions.

bet you are glad you don’t play us every week.2 games played,zero points zero goals…most teams you have played this season have piss poor squads but as you have found out we do not have a piss poor squad.your goal difference at the moment is impressive at the moment but will count for jack shit if you don’t keep winning.2 draws no goals in last 2 games.are you starting 2 feel the pressure??..good luck 2morow at Rotherham (not) and remember little shitty shrewsbury are breathing down your necks..lose tomorrow and you could be 2nd..can you handle the pressure ??

See who goes up eh my bet all season has been Us ,Bradford and Rovers and after the other day I’m even more confident my bet is safe. Scunny being the potential party poopers .

I wasn’t at the game but I’m assuming from that photo that it was in the middle of the penalty area.
If so, there’s a reason why the linesman didn’t give it & that is that (in the pre match instructions) the referee will have told him not to come in on decisions in that area.
The standard instruction is for the linesman to only flag if the incident is on the near side of the area & it’s on the refs blind side. Outside of that you’re to keep your flag down unless there’s an appeal & the ref looks at you for assistance – the look you saw from the assistant to the ref was for that & if the ref hasn’t asked over the mic’s for his input then they won’t have put up their flag.

That might sound bizarre but it’s what’s expected & it’s designed to stop the chaos that would occur if you have the ref looking at incidents & deciding they’re no fouls and his assistants flagging & undermining.
From referees i know who run the line in the football league, the higher up you go the less input the refs want from their assistants.
What you’ve also go to remember at the professional level is that the officials are talking constantly & if at that point there was an appeal & the ref is saying “no foul”, there’s no way in a million years that the liner will put up their flag

Do one, Cadfael.

Thats what Shrewsbury is famous for, Cadfael. The medieval monk TV series.

Shitty little club who has never done anything….almost ever. Your managers spoiling tactics are classic non league. Enjoy your ‘success’ whilst it lasts.

You play amazing football…..not.
