Ref Watch Refwatch ......... Yeovil (H)

Any news on an appeal , or are we just accepting it ?

Yes, she had a shocker, but most of the blame must surely attach to the wretched fourth official who appeared to be trying to referee the game and everything surrounding it himself. I can’t help wondering if he would have adopted such a ridiculous high profile if there had been an experienced male referee out there - it can’t have been a pleasant experience for her.

Said wretched fourth official has refereed us on numerous occasions on a Sunday, and I've always found him a decent ref/fella (in fact his brother refereed us last month).

Essex Sunday Corinthian League ? Very much the London side of Essex.

I'd seen him referee at Isthmian level before without any issues.

Most officals I've seen over the past few years would have their pay deducted were they in the real world not this supposed "professional" game.

The players might be professionals but the refs certainly aren't, they get paid a match fee which I think isn't much more than minimum wage.

Do you think the occasion got to him? Is there really a new ruling that managers can’t put their hands in the air? Were his hands tied, as it were, by administrators- Yeovil manager also commented similarly on how they were being approached and how it ruined the afternoon for him (so it’s not just Kev).

When I checked on MoD managers and coaches were doing their normal windmill impressions so obviously still allowed in the Prem.

Ironically, most aren't but Saturday's one effectively is.

Oh yeah she was 100% correct with the "hand ball" red card, NOT!
