Referee today

Do we have any refs on here? The Norwich throw in that went wrong. The lad took it, and it slipped out of his hands but came into play. Rightly the thrower didn't touch it as it was in play, so his team mate and one of ours both went for it. At this point the ref blows up and gave the Norwich player another go at the throw. Now to my mind although the ball slipped through his hands he still attempted a proper throw in so the ball is in play, otherwise its a foul throw and it goes to the opposition? Am I right? Surely he can't give them another go? Its not mini soccer FFS!:mad:

Murty did the exact same thing just in front of us in the Kingsland near the end. He didn't get to take the throw again however !

 

And yes, you are correct.

Obviously not got the best of views from the Northam but thought a lot of offsides given against us today especially in the 2nd half looked like they were on. Also to me it looked like their player might have been offside from the ball played in before they won their pen?

 

Thought the ref was cr*p today also.

 

The referee in the England v NZ Rugby Match was really good today

He did seem to give Norwich a free kick every time that they appealed for one. Some of them were just laughable.

 

Match stats show we conceded 15 free kicks - they gave away 9. I may be ever so slightly biased but I don't think that we were that much dirtier than them.

I must admit that I didn't have the best view from the kingsland, but I could have sworn that no one touched the ball between Hoolahan taking his penalty and it hitting the post and him putting in the rebound. In which case the goal should not have stood.

Kelvin tipped it onto the post, so it was valid. There was a lot of encroachment, though, so if anybody else had stuck it away it may have been different.

St Landrew and co will be calling for the game to be replayed I assume?

 

Football itself was cheated again today. Disgrace. Hanging anyone and everyone is the only option....

 

No?

 

Lino got every call spot on at the end aswell.

 

If that was a cheap attempt at humour it wasn't that funny. Besides, you got it wrong again. I don't want any game replayed. You really ought to read and understand before you make comments. Humour works best [or at all] when there's actually a ring of truth in what is being broadcast. Perhaps you could try using some.

The lino up our end was truly appalling. Waigo was three yards onside at the end, didn't matter as the daft t**t still missed but even so.

 

Sorry matey, he was three yards off side. Wait for the TV to see what I mean.

 

I thought the officials were generally good today (especially given the conditions). I thought the KD goal kick offside was dubious though

I was in the Kingsland and in line with those offsides towards the end. He got them all spot on. There were two where the player was coming back from an offside position, and the last one was criminal on Papa's part... he was looking right across the line yet still decided to stay offside.

 

My opinion is that the ref was pretty much spot on today, apart from their foul throw.

It wasn't a goal-kick, it was a kick from his hands (if you're referring to the one I think you're referring to :smt017).

Not sure what it was to be honest. I always think that offsides where the ball has been played a long way (like the one described) are very difficult to judge. Unlike the linesman, our interest is at the other end of the pitch.

 

We should have a rule on this forum that, if you sit in the Chapel or the Northam, you can't have a (valid) opinion on an offside decision. There is no way that you can judge when perpendicular to the action. Officials get a bad name too often because fans make proclamations about things they, at best, have a compromised view of (and that's before you bring in the bias!).

 

Officials are human and will make mistakes, it's part of what makes football fun. And whilst I don't agree with replaying games after dubious decisions, I do think the FA/FIFA should be punishing players that try and kid the referee. Honest mistakes vs. dishonest behaviour.

TBH they are pretty crap every week.

In answer to the original question, except in age groups below and including Under 10, you get one attempt to throw the ball correctly. Any other effort is a foul throw and the opposing team restart the game with a throw in.

 

Am I right in thinking they are allowed to re-take it if the ball never actually crossed the touchline? In this case I'm pretty sure it did (although I was sat in the opposite corner so can't be 100%)

I don't know why not, it's perfectly easy to see a straight line compared to the goalline just as it is compared to the touchline and judge depth from there, and a few times Saints players had just run past defenders, which is a pretty good clue they're not offside.

 

Waigo looked offside for all the decisions given, especially the one where he ran right across the pitch from an offside position on the right wing. The Connolly one and Lambert one where they came back into midfield from allegedly offside positions I can't comment on as I wasn't looking at their starting positions when the ball was played - though I suspect the linesman wasn't either on a couple of occasions. He was flagging extremely late when players were already in the act of playing the ball long after the pass and were clearly "interfering" the whole time, which is why I wonder.

Fair enough, I sit in the Chapel so my view probably wasn't thayt great, but I really thought he was onside that time.

 

I was pretty much alongside in the kingsland and was actually shouting at Waigo ..oh no you're offside again you *****, before the whistle went.

 

I cannot understand how a player of his age can be so poor at this basic tactic. Don't run offside! It's really not that complicated a concept is it?

Ref had an average game today, got the penalty decision correct but seem to give Norwich all the half decisions. It was the lino alongside the Kingsland stand who was truly awful today.

 

I think the ref' tried to let the game flow in dreadful weather conditions and he could have been more harsh with some sliding tackles. He got the penalty right. Stupid challenge. Agreed the lino on Kingsland side made some wierd decisions and several times when the ball went into touch he waited for the ref' the signal before he pointed his flag for Saints or Delia's.

I know it looked weird but was it actually a foul throw? The guy released it from behind his head and one hand wasn't behind the ball (or it wouldn't have slipped through his hands) so it was probably ok anyway. There's nothing in the laws that says the player has to look stylish. Either way the ref got it wrong though.

How would it have been different? Encroachment means it's got to be re-taken anyway whatever the outcome!

You're right. I was referring to the case where another player follows-up legally and scores the goal, because the same player cannot touch the ball twice without somebody else touching it in between. Encroachment does not necessarily mean a re-take. If an attacking player encroaches and the penalty is not scored then the game should continue. If a defending player encroaches then there should only be a re-take if the penalty is not scored. If players from both sides encroach then the penalty should always be re-taken. This very rarely happens.
