Well JL said it was a penalty and I didn't see much criticism of the Ref in his match report which suggests it may have been Collina or Howard Webb officiating this afternoon
JL is not the most appreciative sometimes of the Officials shall we say
Hence I suspect that it may well have been a Penalty, although admittedly I couldn't see from Sainsbury's in Altrincham
i think we're all used to officials not being upto the standard that they should be. Yesturday was another one of those. Histon were very physical, and took full advantage of the ref's and assistant ref's poor eyesight.
Alty though were very very poor.
We play in what is, to all intents and purposes, the fifth division of the English League system and we have done for a few years now.
At times though it seems that although the game has moved on we haven't
How many times do we go on about teams being very physical, 'buying' free kicks, getting our players booked and sent off. Maybe, and it goes against all I believe in football wise, we need to wise up, stop being so 'nice' and play the same way as the other teams in the league.
There's nowt so sure than if 23 of 24 teams bite kick and scratch but the 24th doesn't then it's that one which will get relegated.
