Gavin Ward … discuss on 11:05 - Aug 27 with 1044 views | Northernr | Well the players need to have a think about that themselves. We're very quick, I'm very quick, to point the finger at referees, but it's not them flopping over every five minutes pretending to be mortally wounded when there's fck all wrong with them. Every one of them that does that brings us one step closer to a referee thinking "ah I'm sick of this" and playing on through exactly the sort of incident you're referring to. | | | |
Gavin Ward … discuss on 11:10 - Aug 27 with 1005 views | robith | I really love how football has learned the little "you working or shooting?" chat in the ear of an injured player from pro wrestling. Wonder how many teams already have their equivalent of the X signal to indicate it's real | | | |
Gavin Ward … discuss on 11:34 - Aug 27 with 941 views | Malintabuk | I do hope we are not going down the 'R' route here? Is this another misdemeanor aimed at Gavin Ward, "They all look the same to me" I put down many a time to age, when a player commits a foul which is played on, and after the phase the ref goes back and books the said player. How did remember which one it was? On Saturday we had 2 lads, both happen to be black, both big lads over 6ft, both in yellow Jerseys, and both with very distinctive but similar hair styles, I think I would be given him the benefit here Would we have battered an eyelid if they were both blue eyed blondes who had purple highlights and he got the wrong one? | | | |

Gavin Ward … discuss on 12:07 - Aug 27 with 810 views | stowmarketrange | I went to see Needham Market lose again yesterday and most of the 497 had left by injury time and it was pretty quiet.I heard the ref say to the wining keeper,who’d been running the clock down just as much as the Plymouth one on Saturday,” come on keeper,there’s only 90 seconds left.”No booking though,just a token gesture to get him to hurry up a bit. I guess the EFL refs don’t need to tell players how long is left at our place,unless they don’t know how to tell the time. | | | |
Gavin Ward … discuss on 13:38 - Aug 27 with 744 views | Malintabuk | I was in SA Block F and as I said I had no inclination he was booking the wrong player.. and neither did most around me... wasn't until it played out did someone say the Tvvat was booking the wrong player, much to the amusement of all | | | |

We have always recommended to trainee referees if you play on but are going to caution a player, take a mental note of their number and call across “#xx, I’m coming back to caution”. Just by calling the number aids the memory. Just saying. | | | |
