Not sure how many people watch them, but I follow a Essex Sunday League team on Youtube who record all their games and put them online - https://www.youtube.com/PalmersFC.
I've got a couple of questions about some of the refereeing that I see on there.
There's been a few games this season where there has been no referee for the games but it gets played anyway, with the manager from each side refereeing a half each. Is this common down there to play the game anyway if there is no referee? Where I am the game gets postponed if there is no referee available.
The most recent video had me confused as well. Watch from 11:20
. There was a delay at half time so the second half kicked off late. The referee was scheduled to have another match after this one, so he just walks off the pitch with 13 minutes left to play, and is replaced by Troi from Palmers as the game is still going on. Surely this can't be right?
Not trying to get anyone into trouble here but I've never seen anything like this happen before at a game.
