andybeal Posted 17 March, 2013 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 17 March, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmacian_saint Posted 17 March, 2013 Share 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.

tajjuk Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 Well Refs have let us down today, Norwich had harsh sending off, harsh penalty, should have a penalty.

Window Cleaner Posted 17 March, 2013 Share Posted 17 March, 2013 West Ham and Newcastle are only 2 points ahead of us.

yorkie Posted 17 March, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince Posted 17 March, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeySFC Posted 17 March, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
