Thought what summed up his incomptence was when Rudd got what looked like a head injury. If that is the case he should have just stopped play. Instead we had the farcical incident where the ref was in one penalty area while the game was taking place in the other one. He had simply lost control. But hey just my 2 cents.

Suffolk exile 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Is it me or is it like these referees come to CR and think, ''I am big/good enough to ref this game, I will not be influenced by the crowd'' and then go the other way make some ridiculous decisions which gets the crowd on their back at which point they completely lose the plot? I was incredulous at some of the decisions today. In particular the fouls we got when we were running at their defence. He did not understand he could play an advantage. Everyone can get decisions wrong (why did linos not help him with the stonewall pen?) and I am sure it is incompetence rather than dishonesty but it is clear he did not manage the game at all well today.PS - sit down before reading this considering he was totally out of his depth today. HE HAS REFFED AT THE PREMIER LEAGUE LEVEL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depraved 0 Posted April 11, 2010 oh hang on your the idiot steward that doesn''t like NCFC just there for the insubstantial amount of money you get for doing it. before anone else replies to PEDRO, here are his other quotes to ponder on: "Well if you are so bothered about the Policing and Stewarding at Yesterday''s match, do something about it by joining either the Police or the Stewards otherwise keep quiet..I am a Steward and from what I saw yesterday Norwich fans were as bad as Leeds fans, if you wind up the oppositon then you get what you deserve and I witnessed plenty of Norwich fans doing that, by which we told them to sit down and shut up or get thrown out !! and by the way not all stewards support flippin Norwich !! we are there for the pay !! " and after someone pointed out about his daughter getting injursed because of this...... "Who''s give a toss,I don''t you flippin idiot, we don''t get paid enough so why should we bother..I go to watch the game and get paid to do so thats all I am there for..you prized prat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jacko 0 Posted April 11, 2010 The ref was dreadful but he was''nt dishonest. There is no doubt he chalked off a perfectly good goal and denied us a clear penalty but that was incompetence and nothing else. There is no general conspiracy to prevent Norwich getting promoted which some posters have described on here. At this level in particular you will get the odd duffer unfortunately but mostly the refereeing has been passable this season. We just seem to have run across 2 stinkers in the last couple of matches. I think it should also be remembered that yes MK Dons were a disgrace (I certainly would''nt watch them every week on a purely footballing level) however the main reason their stifyling tactics were successful were because we didnt take our chances. Doherty could have had a brace after about 5 mins and Holty had 2 very good chances (the cross from Russell Martin in particular). In these sort of games where the opposition come solely with the intention of frustrating it is vital not to concede the first goal. Clearly that is stating the blindingly obvious, but it really gives teams something to get there teeth into making them more prone to time wasting, fouls etc. Whereas obviously if we''d got the opener they wouldnt have been able to just kick us and they would have actually needed to play some football in the second half.

ron obvious 1,473 Posted April 11, 2010 At last! somebody from the national press has conceded our existence - & written a long article, not just the usual half-dozen lines!:http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/football_league/article7094365.ece NORWICH CITY rescued a valuable promotion point yesterday despite squandering more than a dozen excellent opportunities to score and experiencing one of the most bizarre refereeing performances you are ever likely to witness. Eleven times the yellow card was brandished, twice to the same player, Aaron Wilbraham, and Leicestershire official Kevin Friend endured the embarrassment of simultaneously losing respect from both teams and both sets of supporters throughout an error-ridden second half – especially once he failed to notice a blatant penalty for Norwich. Friend by name but foe in his nature.Although it was Chris Martin who scored the equaliser via a direct free-kick, immediately after Wilbraham, MK Dons’s first-half goal scorer, was sent off for his second infringement, Norwich’s leading striker Grant Holt should have had a hat-trick. The reason he did not was a mixture of sheer carelessness and excellent goalkeeping from Willy Gueret.The consequences of this draw, however, were not too strong; although the gap from the third-placed team in League One has been reduced from ten to nine points, with five matches remaining there is no need to hide the bunting or cancel any orders of champagne. Promotion is only a matter of time not if.Regarding the missed penalty decision on 82 minutes, when Wilbraham handled Gary Doherty’s chip like a basketball player, Paul Lambert, the Norwich manger, said incredulously: “Michael Jordan couldn’t have done better. He’s handled it about nine feet in the air. How did the ref not see that?”Dons manager Paul Ince agreed: “It was a definite penalty. I’m not one of these managers who says they didn’t see something. I don’t talk such crap. Aaron’s lucky to get away with that.”Having lost too much ground on the playoffs after three defeats in their previous four matches before kick-off, the Dons are now losing players at an equally rapid rate. So bad is the situation at present that Ince could only fill four of the allocated seven places on the substitutes’ bench. So with no attacking options available, a stubborn, belligerent performance was required, the type that the manager regularly produced in his glorious pomp. And, amazingly, Dons did exactly that in the first half.After surviving some initial scares, in which two Doherty headers were blocked on the goal line, the visitors went ahead on 20 minutes in surprising fashion – on their first proper attack they scored the opening goal. It was as efficient and as ruthless as that.The corner was delivered with purpose from the right and after flicking off the head of Martin, the 30-year-old reacted first at the back post, as everybody in the penalty area simply stood still, to knock the ball into the net from one yard out.Thereafter, though, Norwich’s frustration was directed at the referee. After a few flashpoints when tempers flared in the afternoon’s sunshine, the official disallowed a goal from Chris Martin on 36 minutes. Martin was adjudged to have fouled goalkeeper Gueret when the two players, plus veteran defender Darren Powell, all challenged for Darel Russell’s hanging left-wing cross. Whether the Dons could reduplicate the same tempo, the same level of intensity for another 45 minutes would prove to be key. Despite increasing pressure from Norwich, they coped well and could have won the game outright on 72minutes when Jermaine Easter, played in by Luke Chadwick, fired straight at goalkeeper Declan Rudd.Yet the match slowly descended into farce. Not long after his handball, Wilbraham was shown his second yellow card for holding back substitute Oli Johnson who was en route to the goal. Martin then made amends for a previously wasted free kick by curling his attempt past the poorly constructed wall and otherwise steady goalkeeper Gueret.If Friend thought the equaliser would prevent him from receiving a torrid amount of abuse after six minutes of stoppage time were completed, then he was wrong. For the Dons, for the second successive match they will face a fine for accumulating so many bookings. “We''re not a dirty side. We might be petulant sometimes but we don’t play to do people. I felt [the bookings] were unjustified,” said Ince. “Maybe it’s a money-spinning effort by the Football League because we keep getting bookings and fines every bloody week.”Lambert, understandably, was the happier manager. “I thought something would happen,” he said. “I couldn’t ask for any more. The lads were great. We kept going and had a great say-never-die attitude. Terrific.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You''ve then got to ask yourself why it was that he didn''t give it, and the only answer is that he was bent. Whether we like to think it or not there ARE corrupt or "dishonest" officials in football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
