Yet another appalling referee. I've no idea how many free-kicks he gave against Kendal, every other Clitheroe attack seemed to be stopped by a foul, so how many was it, 20/30/40, more ? It was impossible to keep count and yet they were allowed to foul with virtual impunity, and the ref saw fit to issue only three yellows. With a cynical display like that it's hard to comprehend how they finished with 11 players on the field, but the ref seemed fairly relaxed about it all, maybe he's just not keen on report writing. And two of the penalty awards were farcical. The one against Clitheroe given from 30 yards away when a better placed liner didn't appear to see anything amiss was an awful decision. The 2nd against Kendal, for a handball the lad could do nothing about, was a clear case of a ref knowing he'd made a bad mistake and evening things up. He couldn't wait to point to the spot, whether there was any intent on the defender's part never crossed his mind. As long as it gets the Clitheroe players and coaches off my back, who cares if it was never a penalty. Referees should be better than that, but sadly this one wasn't, and I suspect most of them would have done the same. |

Funny how some fans rate refs. Me I though he was firm but fair. He did however get the Kendal penalty wrong. He should have consulted with his liner. I do believe we have had him before this season and we was ok. |

Indeed it is funny Peter, maybe I'm watching a better standard of refereeing for most of the games I see, but usually under the totting up procedure after three or four fouls the ref will start to threaten a player with a yellow. Not this chappie, some of the Kendal back four must have been going on for double figures in the number of free-kicks given away, I was wondering just what some of them had to do get a card. As for the Kendal penalty, he was just balancing things up, he was never going to consult his liner. |
