Radical Referee

This afternoon a Black Referee will take charge of a @premierleague between @SheffieldUnited & @LutonTown , had I not gone public in 2019 and then encouraged Joel Mannix to follow my lead nothing would have changed. NO FALSE MODESTY 👁 #GhostObserver dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/artic…

He's lucky his fourth official was keeping a full record of the game and was able to remind him not to restart the game before producing the Red Card. It's one of the reasons I've never liked seeing cards flashed quickly. Relax and take your time! @CPFC v @LUFC @

@CongletonFC Why did the Senior Assistant Referee not finnish the game?

⏱️ GAME ABANDONED 85th minute referees calf’s gone. 🔵 1 - 1 🐻 | #UTB COME ON YOU BEARS

So game abandoned today owing to a medical emergency for one of the officials. Prayers that he makes a speedy recovery. Aside from the match itself just want to add how proud we are of our captain Mitch and Physio Allan who undoubtedly saved his life 🙏

@SSMLtalk Well done Sir. 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

🚨 Hero at Belstone FC 🚨 Massive respect to Mitchel Swain, who stepped up when it mattered most after an official collapsed twice during the match. Not only did Mitchel react instantly to help, but he also brought his real-life training into action, as a firefighter, his calmness and quick thinking helped save a life. Moments like this remind us that football is about far more than the result. The non-league community always looks after its own. 👏 An incredible act of bravery. Well done, Mitchel a true hero. Let’s give him the recognition he deserves. @LondonFire @belstone65 #NonLeagueFootball #BelstoneFC #Hero #FootballFamily

Due to the @ChelseaFC team standing around the ball with half of their team in the oppositions half. To prevent their next opponents doing exactly the same thing at the same time...Should the @premierleague make a written rule that you must stay in your own half pre kick off?

It would appear based on the @ChelseaFC Managers press conference that his team were advised to do their pre-match huddle in their own half by the Referee. What would have happened if both teams wanted to huddle around the ball at the same time?

@SpursOfficial We got lucky with that tight offside decision. This Manager is supposed to produce a bounce. His team his tactics, his responsibility. Harry in for the last few games.

Half-time.

@RefereeHalsey @StokeyyG2 I agree, as soon as a player is the wrong side it makes this decision nailed on.

@StokeyyG2 Imo nailed on penalty cannot understand how the referee hasn’t given it

Jarred Gillett did NOT give a penalty for this. It went to VAR and was not overturned as they deemed it “normal contact”… How broken is the system?

Yes the handball law is a complete mess. Having different handball laws in different areas of the FOP is ridiculous.

I've got no interest in the Referees decision. I'm more interested in the decision of Callum Slattery. Did Mr Slattery make the right decision to hit the floor in the way he did clutching his face? 👁

@ianjamesking28 @FBAwayDays It's a poor challenge but the fact you haven't worked out the Referee has a different angle to what we are all seeing from the camera is no real suprise, as the standard knowledge of fans at this level to recognise the WHY is shocking to those in the know. 👁 @refsupportuk

@FBAwayDays Shocking challenge but the fact the ref hasn’t given a foul is no real surprise as the standard of refereeing at all levels is appalling

The ref during this challenge on the Forest Green player yesterday wasn’t a foul… Oh dear! 😆🫣

@Alexrose90 @DAZN_NationalLg @officiallydale @SUFCOfficial When the whistle was blown he was instructed to take the penalty, for some reason he didn't. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@radical_referee @DAZN_NationalLg @officiallydale @SUFCOfficial The penalty wasn’t taken though, so should he have been instructed to take the penalty?

An interesting incident in the @DAZN_NationalLg game between @officiallydale and @SUFCOfficial It would appear, The Referee has penalised him for illegally fainting his run up. 😬

There's a reason you have to respect the @NUFC Manager. His words are below, and it shows that SOME Managers have emotional intelligence. 👇🏾 "NO ONE'S PERFECT I MAKE MISTAKES ALL THE TIME AND I THINK YOU HAVE TO ALLOW REFEREES TO MAKE MISTAKES" #WeONLYdoPositive 👁

@BilstonTownFC v @Droylsden_FC It's a football match right, it's not meant to be boxing? 👇🏾

@RobFinney_Dream @Official_STFC But @LutonTown have not been elimated. You can't be elimated if the opposition have played an eligible player.

@radical_referee @Official_STFC By the EFL’s own admission, there was an issue with the computer when submitting the team sheet - that ones on the EFL. Them playing the suspended player totally on him though He’s correct though - any completion which allows an eliminated team to progress, loses credibility

The question the @Official_STFC Manager does not seem to be asking himself. Is what could HE have done better?? By his own admission he's not one for using Computers when submitting teamsheets. Ian Holloway says the tournament is now tarnished, I suspect many will disagree.

@matt__77777 @BBCMOTD You couldn't make it up. He's the leader and is responsible for oversight to ensure the players on the teamsheet are eligible to play. But apparently when it goes wrong, it's nowt to do with him.

@BBCMOTD So almost 20% of their team shouldn’t of been playing and they aren’t happy being thrown out??

Ian Holloway's answer to the first question in his press conference today - about the decision to throw Swindon Town out of the Vertu Trophy - was 14 minutes long. Here are some snippets from his response.

@BBCMOTD The @Official_STFC Manager Ian Holloway does not want to look for who to blame. Why do you think that is? Because....
