G.E.C. 19,074 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Had a shocker, but this is a sign of things to come at this level I suppose. On a sidenote, great to be back at Ibrox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimoo 1,491 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He didn't have a great game but I think in the lower divisions the refs aren't as card and whistle happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 To be honest. We are watching SFL (Div3) football, where men are men and footballers need to be aware. There were some tackles flying about that we (& the players to I think) believe should be fouls or even yellow cards but the referee just looks at it and waves play on. When our players understand that the will have to mix it s little with players and they will get away with it, we will improve in the league.

davekerrthebear 124 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 the ref was a tool, i seen at least 4 two-footed tackles from the e.stirling players that the ref ignored. just because the tackles missed doesnt mean they should go unpunished.

airdriebluenose 351 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Absolutely shit ref, had Rangers to score 5 or more goals and was calling him every name under the sun cause I thought he had robbed me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallows high 208 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Checked the match programme , ref called Kevin Clancy and a linesman called Francis ...........can't imagine either would be biased against us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nacho_nacho_man 477 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Consistency...within the first 2 minutes they were awarded a penalty. Broadfoot was bundled to the ground in a similar fashion towards the end of the game...like for like incidents, two distinctly different decisions.The ref was a stroker.

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Dreadful decision not to send the Number 12 off , was a terrible Tackle and this is what we have to expect in these Leagues.Poor Ref ,no wonder our Football is so poor in Scotland .

papaguy51 912 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The ref wanted to give that penalty to East Stirlingshire so much, he was determined to get his name in the papers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bump 168 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 ref had a fucking shocker if u ask me,spend half the game screaming at him,nearly puked up ma cheeseburger because of him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,776 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The referee was abysmal today. None of this "letting the game flow pish". Some of the decisions he failed to make in our favour were clear cut and shocking decisions. I can't remember seeing as poor a refereeing performance as that today, absolutely shocking.

lau03143 87 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 My mate was the linesman at the game today (not the one called Francis), and to be honest, I think that's just the standard of refereeing we're going to get. Th leagues are a lot more physical. 50/50's, the refs tend not to guess like the do in the SPL and just let the game continue.But their 12 should have been sent off for a shocker and was really a bit inconsistent the whole game.

scottyc06 6,927 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The way he charged up to Black to give him a yellow for his first foul was shocking, considering the horrific challenge on Black 15 minutes later merited the same punishment! Sadly this is how I see things going this season! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devref 201 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 think we need to forget about refs performances at this level they are not as tight as the spl they allow the game to flow silly fouls are normally ignored and the advantage played more often than not so lets get off their backs and hope the players learn to play to the whistle as we were all taught at primaty school Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Stein 4 EVA 8 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Had a shocker, but this is a sign of things to come at this level I suppose. On a sidenote, great to be back at Ibrox.Against Brechin the Ref was a dream and we were all saying what a breath of fresh air it was to have an official who was in the game because he loved football and was honest and how we hoped all SFL Refs were of the same ilk.18TH AUGUST 3.00PM.Reality kicks in, we get a total Timothy who allows numerous 2 footed tackles, blatant shoves,scything tackles and a stick on hand ball in the penalty area.He is going to have a VERY busy morning tomorrow...... In confession. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
