The referee has nothing to do with this decision but I remain baffled he’s anywhere near a football match after his tragic decision in the Spenny game on Tuesday. That decision has nothing to do with the referee btw - you could have replaced the referee with the best referee in the world in their p...

The photograph shows the ball in its entirety well over the line by several inches so it is not 'just' over the line, and you fail to consider that the photograph shows this at a point before the defender's boot has made contact with the ball, which suggests that the ball would travel even further ...

And yet

Couldn't definitely tell from watching on TV if a goal but my gut instinct says it wasn't anywhere near in

Thankfully I suspect he will be a bit more understanding having been there himself.

I haven't defended anything? I have said both decisions are incorrect. All I have said is - These things aren't incomprehensible errors when humans are involved in split second decisions. - That the attitudes and the responses towards decisions are at best unproductive, at worst they are actually pr...

Yes but the club as an entity survives and still provides football on a weekly basis. It still provides the leisure activity within the community to the fans who demand it. Nothing stops that. So again what is the alternative just shout into the echo chamber "this is terrible" "this was a bad decisi...

If we go down by a point or two then players get released and managers potentially lose their jobs. It’s not rocket science that bad errors like this can cost jobs. You really are pathetic trying to stand up for such inept officials If a player is good enough they will get another club. Players get...

It’s a decision of very small margins, the officials have to be completely sure the ball has crossed the line so it’s no surprise the goal wasn’t given. It incorrect isn't it - but this summarises it. Small margins. The photo shows the whole ball is only just over the line. In real time it would be...

To me the 2 must win games are Southport and Farsley any other points are a bonus

This is my take also - annoying I'd have only had Farsley if we had beaten Rushall...

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...

Haha every single one will have them.

I don't know actually know any that operate at step 3 and 4 (Northern Prem / Division One) without buzzers - nevermind at Step 2.

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'...

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. Referee has not read the situation well at all - simple as really. Suspect if you ask him on Friday he will admit as much given what I know of him bu...

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...

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...

It seems we have the referee from the Spenny Scunny game last night for friday. Anyone whos seen the goal he disallowed will rightly be concerned about his ability! Been discussing this with others around how the process falls down to end up with that conclusion. My suspicion is that he's knackered...

Still gutted we lost, the Farsley game in particular feels massive now. Farsley and Southport at home were always the big ones. I think we might be able to get something at Warrington as well - hoping it might be a bit of a nothing game for them by then. Suspect it will be doom and gloom I'd we los...

Great trivia. I forgot anyone had fielded a all english squad at all in the premier league era. Bound to be a game soon where no english player is in the starting 11. On another note who was the last english manager to win a major trophy, im taking a punt on harry redknapp 16 year ago That's happen...

Positive is if we can beat Southport and Farsley at home we will be fine.

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 ...

which would allow us to build on all four sides 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. Stuff we can take away with us sounds great, but we would have to make good what is left behind so there are still signifi...

Def think some banked standing at the way end would really help possibly something we can take with us if we move. Have to get the RC onside though and that’s the hard job but people views do change. The rugby clubs only issue is they don't want their clubhouse knocked down - and based on plans tha...

I hope the club are negotiating to terminate his contract - it is clear that he is not fit and no longer needed. Doubt it will happen now. Registration deadline is coming up - what benefit is there to Asante from terminating early unless he is fully compensated. The only sell to him would be you ca...

Not sure cash reserves will touch the sides on the capital investment we need.

Aren't our operating losses always going to increase with increases BtB...isn't that the whole point?

We raise the money so the club spend it on the playing budget?

I think the take out from this saga is... Always go for the obvious choice. Always. There is no guarantee of success (whatever success is) even with the obvious choice, but the odds will be higher. The benefit of the obvious choice is it reduces noise from the outset. I am not sure Luke Williams wa...

Rushall have realistically 6-9 points left this season. 50 points will likely be safety. If we beat Rushall. Farsley and Southport are the other winnable games which will to make absolutely certain. The way we are playing I fancy us against Warrington as well. I am not sure they will have much to pl...
