Re: Darlington V Chorley
So according to Terry, only 1 injury going into this game (of course Ray didn't ask him who that was so it could be any of Asante, Siddik or Liddle I assume). I know all games are like cup finals now but this one feels especially important to me, avoiding 2 losses in a row is massive as we don't wa...

Re: Darlington V Chorley
If your assistant has something contrary to add - or input to give they will buzz him That is why referees at our level have a pack of their left arm so their assistant can get their attention if they need to. And the alternative is - if you have something to add where you are 100% confident that I'...

Re: Darlington V Chorley
Unless he's on the wrong touchline there are quite clearly two players in between the goalkeeper and where the Assistant Referee is going to be stood.

Re: Darlington V Chorley
In this situation why didn’t the ref ask his assistant if he thought the scunthorpe player had fouled the keeper? The assistant would have had a good perspective of the incident. And if he didn't then what? You have one person who thinks they saw a foul and one that didn't? Not sure how you can exp...

Re: Darlington V Chorley
Hindsight? Surely he should've gone left if he was using the 'diagonal system' as his AR would've picked anything up on the right hand side? So you agree it was awful refereeing full stop? Diagonals as an expected movement went out about 15 years ago. Expectation is that you adapt to the game and s...

Fully yes. The pipe only restricts at most a third of the away end. We know there is enough space to develop to step 1 standard. Not quite true. It restricts up to half of the away end and also part of the main stand side - it runs diagonal through the stadium footprint. There's a reason the stand ...

I am not sure just because you made a mistake that means you can never be given credit for when you correct those errors.
To suggest otherwise is getting on for only crediting perfection.

I don't think that has it been an FA rather than County FA decision it would be the same. These issue are at the extreme end of what a County FA would deal with so they don't have much precedent.
