andybeal Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Fair enough. I've never heard of him! Scottish International, former team mate and European Cup Winner at Nottingham Forest - thought most people with a level of football knowledge knew the name?
Olallana Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Just seen that tackle. If Mark Halsey isn´t sidelined the rest of the season it´s a disgrace. First task for a referee is always protect the players. If they fail so miserable they should not be out there. Wonder if it´s okay to vomit a bit over that non-call??

First task for a referee is always protect the players. If they fail so miserable they should not be out there. Wonder if it´s okay to vomit a bit over that non-call?? LOL - probably not. As I said earlier, I don't recall the standard of officiating ever being this low. But, as you've said, blowing free kick and penalty calls is one thing, but missing lethal tackles is something else. I'll probably get whacked for this but I'm wondering if it's time for football to join (ice) hockey in having two referees - essentially one for each half. The game these days is just moving too quickly for them.

Dalek2003 Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 If Wigan win it is going to 'put the cat amongst the pigeons' !
ludgershallsaint Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 If Wigan win it is going to 'put the cat amongst the pigeons' ! Definitely, everyone from Stoke down will have something to think about.
Dr Who? Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Newcastle look a bit naff away from home. They are the sort of team, if you are at the bottom, you would want to play!
Dr Who? Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=czjvONdFd1A Should have been off for that. No red, no yellow, no talking to, no free kick!
Dr Who? Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Newcastle look a bit naff away from home. They are the sort of team, if you are at the bottom, you would want to play! If in doubt, I always pull this one out!
Tractor_Saint Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Handball ffs ! Hey ho, they deserve to be in the lead.
OttawaSaint Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 If in doubt, I always pull this one out! Can you do it again?
Sheaf Saint Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=czjvONdFd1A If the ref didn't see that then he is simply unfit to be a referee. End of. That could have ended Haidara's career. The FA need to haul him in over that and suspend him.
S-Clarke Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Pretty rubbish day results wise. That Wigan result just pulls a hell of a lot of teams right back into it. Although it's starting to look as if Reading and QPR are being pretty much cut adrift now.
melmacian_saint Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Referee's having a very important role in the fight for survival. The Ref association need to get rid of some of their old weights. Foy, Halsey....age has taken its toll and their are out of touch with football nowadays.
Saints foreva Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Really wouldn't be surprised if Wigan stay up and send us down.
DG Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Potentially 1 point ahead going into Reading away, may need a favour from QPR v Wigan on the same weekend.
Appy Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Really wouldn't be surprised if Wigan stay up and send us down. Surprise you being negative.
LGTL Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 One from Wigan, Villa, us, and Sunderland. QPR and Reading are gone.
Whitey Grandad Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Shocking officiating in both games. It was supposed to get better when we went to professional referees.
Whitey Grandad Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 One from Wigan, Villa, us, and Sunderland. QPR and Reading are gone. West Ham and Newcastle are only 2 points ahead of us.
Saints foreva Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Surprise you being negative. Wouldn't have to be so negative if we didn't bottle it when we played Wigan away.....
tajjuk Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Well Refs have let us down today, Norwich had harsh sending off, harsh penalty, should have a penalty. Wigan should have been down to 10 and scored a goal from a blatant handball. Could have had Wigan and Sunderland well below us.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 So much for the cup distracting Wigan from the league
JustMike Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Wouldn't have to be so negative if we didn't bottle it when we played Wigan away..... not watch the game yesterday then?
Window Cleaner Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 West Ham and Newcastle are only 2 points ahead of us. Newcastle are over-extending their ressources, a couple more injuries again today. Could be in big trouble if they lose against Sunderland.
Dr Who? Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Still in our own hands. All the run ins are pretty even, but QPR have the easiest. Newcastle are not safe and injuries stacking up again!
yorkie Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 I think all we can do is worry about our games and not worry about what Wigan, Villa and the rest do! Three points at Norwich and Reading would be nice - don't forget Wigan's game in hand is at Man City. They still have pride to play for - but it's a localish derby and the City fans will demand a win...bragging rights up for grabs!
vince Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Really wouldn't be surprised if Wigan stay up and send us down. Personally, I think they could stay up and send Sunderland down - Sunderland have a really tough set of games left and sounded toothless today. Interestingly, we both play Stoke, Spurs and each other in the last 3 games.
BlakeySFC Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 We're going down, no doubt about it. The win yesterday and performance is just pointless. We might as well of not won really, we need to get a gap on Wigan, Reading and QPR as they are looking most likely to go down at the moment and we haven't done that. Even though we haven't been in the drop-zone since December now we just don't have any luck whatsoever. Luckless teams get relegated.
sussexsaint Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Still closer to 11th than relegation, many teams can get sucked into this yet. I'd be nervous as a Newcastle fan at the moment
Turkish Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Still closer to 11th than relegation, many teams can get sucked into this yet. I'd be nervous as a Newcastle fan at the moment Why?

Even though we haven't been in the drop-zone since December now we just don't have any luck whatsoever. Luckless teams get relegated. Yep. We'd just as well play the reserves for our final 9 games, it's pointless to put out a full strength team as we're already relegated. Woe is us.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 17 March, 2013 Posted 17 March, 2013 Wish we could play a weakened Liverpool team every week
