May I make more of a point which was mentioned in an earlier thread but which has not been expanded upon?

Who went to the aid of the ref when he collapsed in a heap? Not instantly, but after a suitable time had elapsed to allow the host club to provide assistance. It was the Alty physio.

Call me old fashioned but shouldn't the visiting team, its officials and the FA officials all be hosted and offered hospitality by the home club? The officials in particular are reliant upon the home club to provide refreshments, ablutions and other normal facilities. This should extend particularly to offering assistance in the event of injury on the field.

In all my years of watching football, never have I witnessed such appalling lack of concern and good manners from a football club - you expect it from Sinclair, but for the directors of Colwyn Bay to permit the ref to ignominiously sit in the middle of the pitch, clearly in agony, until the Alty bench reacted and came to his aid, is disgraceful.

Shame on you Colwyn Bay, for this act alone.
