in all cases including the two offsides against southport and the definite penalty at 1-1 the benfit of doubt is meant to be given to the attacking team isn't it?
against southport the ref was watching rankine at a corner.....I was right behind the goal and dead in line, the southport defender had his arms round rankiine's waist...ranks was just stood there with his arms aloft and was looking at the ref.......the corner comes in, the southport defender man-wrestles ranks to the ground as the ball goes across him stopping ranks from connecting with the ball.....as sson as I saw the ref watching the situation before the corner was taken, I kept my eyes on the ref's eyes, he didn't take his eyes off the two players...........either basic incompetence or corruption....
Unless there is a new law in which wrestling is now allowed in the penalty area?
as bad as we have played we have put ourselves in the position to win games by scoring goals disallowed for offside and having players blatantly bundled over in the box.....the refs are deciding our fate...well we all now how narcissistic they are don't we?
