Mass Confrontation

[HullRef]

what do you think to this one guys?

What would you have done differently/the same if you were the ref or either of the two AR's?

 

[HertsFinest]

Not just stood their and blown my whistle like I'm auditioning for a west end musical for a start! AR shouldn't have gone into melee but should have stayed wide and observed and done his job

On a side note, what an awful awful challenge

 

[SM]

Calmed it down so well done in that respect. Not sure they got everyone who needed to be sent off, but mass confrontation is a nightmare to manage even when there are 3 of you.

 

[jack.prescott]

Am I right in thinking that they sent a sub to the stands?

 

[SM]

He can't be, must be a club official, manager or such

 

[jack.prescott]

It's just the fact he's got the shorts and socks on that confused me a touch

 

[Jacko]

Not broke the referee's flag!

 

[Padfoot]

This is from a fair while ago......

Thought the referee handled it as well as could be expected.......I do actually know the ref.....one of the more competent level 3s around.

 

[Jacko]

Yeah its hard to prepare for a mass confrontation. The only possible thing he could have done differently is be in the other half of the pitch so that the send off players don't have to walk past everyone as the Tunnel to the changing rooms is to the far left of the camera view.

Player-Coach maybe?

 

[Yacinho]

Dat moronic whistling

 

[jack.prescott]

Player-Coach maybe?

So surely if he's a named sub he must leave the vicinity of the pitch?

 

[ref craig]

I put it up before and I know that Lino

No card was shown so cannot be a sub

 

[jack.prescott]

No card was shown so cannot be a sub

I'm not arguing that SM it's just the fact that he appears to be in full kit that just got me a bit confused

 

[ref craig]

His the coach that why

 

[Pierluigi]

I stuggle to comprehend how the senior assistant is a L4. What is he doing?!?!

 

[ref craig]

He is now level 3

 

[ref craig]

And long time no see pier

Didn't watch it all. But I think my main comment would be the senior assistant. Did not remain calm, went straight in (with the buzzer flag in danger - I bet the referee was worried!), did not manage the dugouts which should have been his main priority as they got pretty irate. Then when sending off he was getting very animated and vocal, copying what the referee was doing. No need and looked quite embarrassing - speak to the referee, then let him deal with everything, no need for further participation on his part (i.e. telling the players to leave the FOP etc...)

Overall, very busy indeed.
