The linesman tonight, south stand side

[Mellotron]

2nd half, without doubt the most inept display of running the line I've ever ever ever seen. He had NO clue what the rules were.

If it had mattered someone would've surely gone after him at the end of the game.

 

[Nobby's Betamax Video]

Even from the Family Stand there were more than a few questionable offside decisions and he seemed to "not see" a lot of the Colchester "professionalism" with their off the ball digs and wrestling antics. The ref wasn't much better in my mind. Colchester were very physical & up for a battle but it seemed they got all the decisions...oh well, we won despite them & they had their 5 sent off.

 

[Notters]

I didn't think he got that many wrong at all. There were a lot of twats giving him abuse for correct decisions though.

 

[Mellotron]

There were at least 4 that were unquestionably wrong. He was always miles behind the play and genuinely didn't seem to understand how offside works.

 

[227 BHA]

Maybe they should have had a woman running the line?

 

[cardboard]

From the North stand, his decisisions looked shocking to me

 

[Lord Bamber]

Some he got right, some he got wrong, seems to be regular service for me.

Looks like we might be in a minority, but I agree with Notters

 

[Mellotron]

He got a number wrong that would've led to one-on-one situations. A couple were entirely illogical as well.

The sad thing is, this could be a regular thread with what I have witnessed this season.

agreed, there were so many giving abuse. At one point we had two offside (possibly 3) and they still moaned in D block....

 

[Mr Burns]

He got a lot wrong. I was in line and Murray was onside twice and given off. He was offside twice and given off. And offside twice and given on.
Noone was not offside. And Barnes when through at the end was onside but Sandaza was off, but the lino still gave it.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

He took a lot of abuse - but again I don't think he got a lot wrong. Only one that I can remember. He got a lot more right. And he certainly knew the rules - he was looking for active and inactive. Seemed ok.

Not quite as annoying as the group of teenagers seemingly more interested in Utd's comeback at Blackpool than the game being played in front of them.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I wasn't there, but it's pretty obvious to me that his errant display was entirely due to the fact that he is a MAN.

This!

Very annoying!!! Stay at home and watch it next time kids.

What was quite clearly a private joke between friends clearly seemed to annoy one gentleman to the point where he felt it necessary to call me a ****, which was nice. If you're that f***ing stupid that you genuinely think I'd rather have been at United then it says a lot more about you than it does about me. For the record, I've been a season ticket holder for 9+ years and therefore already have my Falmer season ticket booked, so I'm in it for the long haul.

Oh, and if it really bothered you that much (assuming it was you), perhaps you might have stayed around until the end of the game to speak to me personally, rather than leaving five minutes before the end. But hey, you're the superfan.

No I did not call you a **** and i dont claim to be a superfan but I am not in the minority who were around you who were disturbed by the private joke which certainly did not remain private.
