I thought the behaviour of the Burscough bench was disgusting, every time a Clitheroe player made a tackle they were up on their feet screaming at the Referee, and when Garner made a great challenge near the dugout they went berserk inciting their players to a near mass brawl i do hope the Referee mentions this in his Report.

I wouldn't trust that referee to find his way home, never mind put something in his match report. And was I mistaken or did he really give Simon a yellow for a tackle which he didn't even a give a foul for ? Maybe he booked him for being attacked, maybe he thought he should have run away.

Simon, I believe, was booked for dissent not for the tackle. The ref had a rather good game. Talked a lot but thats a good thing to me. One of the better refs we have had.

We'll have to disagree on the referee Peter, I thought he was awful, but then again most of them are. If he was concerned about dissent then neither Simon nor Danny should have lasted much beyond half-time, they gave him dog's abuse over virtually every decision, but he was too weak to do anything about it. A weakness exemplified by his inactivity over what was not far short of a mass brawl, it took him forever to decide what he was going to do about it, which in the end was virtually nothing. I presume their card was for dissent as well ?

I thought it was a decent game and probably a draw was a fair result given that Burscough scored first and defended well and it was one of those days where our final ball was too often not quite good enough or the chances went begging.
As for the officials, they can't win can they, if they rush in and produce a red card hastily we all go mad, the brawl was handbags really and there were more players trying to stop team mates boiling over than actually looking for it. I thought the ref took his time, spoke to his liners who were also very quick to step in and cool it, and in the end probably made a common sense decision. The rest of the game passed without further trouble so did that not vindicate his decision making ?
The lads played some decent football but for me too many crosses were wayward on the day but at least the lads battled to the end and won a deserved point.

This turned out to be a decent game and probably ended with a fair result. I think we badly missed Lynch in the centre of midfield and this made Simon try to do everything himself. For every god ball he passes, and there were quite a few, there were three really poor ones. I don't like the way he turns and passes without looking in the hope than one of our players will be there. There were a few on the topside calling for him to be subbed midway through the second half. As far as the ref goes I thought he had a good game.
