He failed in his responsibility of ensuring a football match was carried out as per rule book but he failed and done so miserably. The nearside linesman also confirmed a push on a player but it wasn't a foul due to only being with 1 hand!!! The league is riddled with these young inexperienced wee wannabe big shots who make it all about them regards officiating. I for one minute am not excusing the behaviour of both clubs but any red bloodied male would become frustrated with such a pathetic refereeing performance. Should the Beith player have ran through the dugout, no. But should the home bench reacted in the way they did, also no. Should the ref have called both managers together, calmed the situation and then blown for full time when play next dictated allowing tempers to defuse, YES. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Haswell has been refereeing for years he's not a young inexperienced referee. He's just not very good. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also its not junior football.

Shanner Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Was at the shops there and the traffic warden let me off with parking 10 minutes after my ticket had expired. His leniancy left me with no choice but to run over a pensioner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the Dugouts Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 19 hours ago, AM-1 said: Right let's summarise the Largs v Beith game. From the off the ref confirms he is well out his depth letting 2 horrendous plus his assistants aswell, one of whom I know of from days of old and cannot believe is at this standard of officiating...anyway Fowler, who was getting pelters from the home bench, scores the 3rd in injury time late on and enroute to celebrating runs through the Largs touchline area barging past Arnie and his mouthpiece assistant/clipboard operator who was an embaressment the whole game. It then kicks off, verbals and handbags with the young assistant ref calling over the ref with hands out red cards to Strain and Arnie. What followed was chaos, both touchline getting involved with all the players inamongst it. The ref shat it basically and abandoned the game. Special mention to the Largs #11 who couldn't hit a coos arse with a tennis racket the the whole game yet was quick enough to get involved in the malee & the numerous hold me back routines by players and staff during the rammy. The ref made a rod for his own back the entire game by letting bad fouls pass by without cards. How Largs ended the first half with 11 players was miracle. If he stamped some form of authority on the game then tensions wouldn't have boiled over to the level they got. He was by far the worst ref I have ever ever witnessed at any level. Largs v Beith from where I stand. The game is into time added on and Largs are pushing for an equaliser. Beith number 9 breaks clear and scores to make it 3-1 to Beith. He then runs over to Largs bench and there are word exchanged. The teams then form up for the restart and the referee calls the Beith number 9 over and books him. The game is ready to go again when the Beith manager Strain starts shouting and wanting to fight, not sure who with. He is being restained by the Beith coaching staff and the referee runs over and gives him a red card. As he is lead away by the Beith coaching staff he starts shouting at the Largs manager Davidson and it gets out of control from there with the referee and his two assistants standing in the centre circle. Things start to calm down the referee blows his whistle and as everybody makes their way off the field, at that point he red cards the Largs manager. My first thoughts were that the referee had blown for full-time but as we leave the ground it is confirmed that he has abandoned the game. Let’s be clear the game would have finished soon after the restart and it’s not the referees fault Strain lost the plot. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not very accurate both managers were red carded at the same time Davidson then Strain plenty of verbals but to blame one person for the incident is wrong and not an accurate account . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sox Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Strain is actually a decent bloke but once he gets on the touchline the madness begins. Has got away with murder for years though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
