Did you have the ref on a bit of commission today Ian  ;)

I think it was Dennis Birch who got the ref to change the shirts - the bloke never fkn shut when he saw the teams come out  :D

Most important of all was another good win

We could'nt believe the ref OK'd their kit before kick-off! Suited me fine, as it did Jamie Davidson.

Nuneaton play in blue and White, so why they needed to change at all is beyond me

Obviously, Numneaton Town did not check league handbook. Then the ref forgot to call at Specsavers.

Nice to see that the front of Nuneaton's shirt is a tribute to Coburn's immaculate performance against them in that FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round tie back in October 2001....

And that was simply crass stupidity by the referee yesterday to allow both teams to start in those predominantly red kits.

There is or was a competition rule, seemingly not in BSBN, maybe in what was the Unibond but I remember us being affected by it which says that no two teams can play each other on striped shirts.

That being said, to have anticipated that he would get away with the two starting kits was naive to say the least

We played at Bath last season when they had black/white stripes and we had red/white stripes. That seemed to be ok. Ironically enough the game I reffed today had a colour clash  with the away side in red/black stripes and the other team in red. The away side wore blue bibs but you could still see the numbers through the bibs. If there was no kit available for Nuneaton to change into, would they have been able to wear bibs over their shirts?

This happens quite a lot in local football where the local league OK each team to use one kit for the whole season. I had an issue with a team wearing gold/amber against another in an Orangy colour. Last year I refereed a game between two teams from the Metropolitan Police. One of them turned up with a black and blue striped kit which clashed with my black Referees top. They offered me an England shirt to wear and I had the pleasure of telling a Poliice officer where to go!!!! I put on a scarlet Tampa Bay Buccaneers sweatshirt instead of having to go home for my Ireland shirt.

It reminds me of when N Ireland played the Republic in the late 70s and, to make sure there was no clash, Northern Ireland wore green and white stripes and the Republic wore white and green stripes!
