Ref watch - Bristol Rovers

[Mick]

Man in charge is P. Melin (who sent off Freddy, prompting the "frivolous" appeal). He has already sent off more players in 5 games this season than he did over all of last season.

If you are going, do not waste any energy shouting abuse at lino Rodda, he is profoundly deaf.

Macca better behave himself tomorrow then! :D

To be fair, Freddy did deserve that red card, and the appeal was frivolous.

shame refs are never consistent, which is why we probably appealled. yes he pushed the player twice in the chest but i see that all the time in the prem and rarely is there a sending off for that

Think that is why Tilly took Macca off on Saturday to ensure we kept 11 on the pitch with him already being booked.

Yeah but both his and Bailey's bookings were a bit of a joke and showed the ref had begun to lose control of the game.

Exactly, Consistency or lack thereof.

I forget what game I was watching on MOTD, but 2 players were having a ruck & literally shoving each other in the face but the ref just yellow carded them both.

How often do you hear 'if you raise your hands you deserve to get sent off'.

:confused:

[Blue Army]

Agree Macca's booking was a complete joke, he was closing down the player and had a few little bites at the ankles but certainly not a booking. Ref certainly did lose control of the game.

Well, Tilly said it after Eastwood got sent off, which is why the appeal was obviously ridiculous, because even our own manager had said words to the effect that he was always going to walk after that!

 

[Suffolk Blue]

As I understand it, after conversations at Vale about the colour of card that Rocastle received after shoving one of our players right in front of the ref, the "arms raised = straight red" guidance no longer applies.

I think they've replaced it with a new rule specifically targetted at getting McCormack as many cards as possible in as short a space of time. :)

 

[BoyWonder2]

How many bookings is McCormack on at present?

Apparently he got the right hump with his fellow lino at a recent game. His colleague was waving his flag furiously following a hideous challenge but unbeknown to him he actually signed in semaphore "your mother's an ugly whore"

.. how many games has he played ?

He's already on 1 red and 4 yellows so far this season. Crumbs.
