I won't miss the refs in the ECL once we finally bow out. As bad as I've seen, and that is saying something.
I’ve said as much after every game , third rate competition , third rate teams ( including us ) third rate refs .
How many teams have we seen here, they are just content to kick shit out of us .
Even with a crap ref , they had seven players cautioned as to their future conduct .
Then ,,Sess gets sent off …. Not that he didn’t deserve a yellow for his first foul , but his second wasn’t even a foul .
The yellow card fiasco has lost all if it’s meaning .
It used to mean that a player would incur the wrath of the referee for whatever reason , and he would be CAUTIONED BY THE REFEREE as to his future conduct .
That has been forgotten about . The ref just casually waves a yellow card , doesn’t reprimand the player , doesn’t tell him what he is doing wrong , doesn’t say anything to the offending player ,,,,,,, and worst of all , for a caution ,,the player doesn’t incur any punishment.
The poor sod on Hackney Marshes gets a twenty pound fine and if he doesn’t pay it , gets banned from playing .
I’m on a rant again
