I watched the game live and can't remember seeing that happen.

I noticed that at the time and then thought as there had been a
delay it wasn't a goal kick but a free kick for offside? But
thinking about it don't free kicks have to go out of the area?

Yes, it's amazing the amount of players who do not understand
that.

Matched only by the number of referees who don't appear to
understand the encroachment rules at penalty kicks.

I respect dermot he was a damngood referee but that was petty,
im sure he wasnt faultless in his career and was probably sloppy
on occasion too. Perhaps this sort of petty critic shoube kept
in private.

I would rather listen to Gallagher any day of the week rather
than the dross and claptrap Hackett churns out week after week.

Dermot was ace! He always used to referee the Hamworthy v AFCB
friendly, which is widely considered the best ever friendly by
AFCB fans who were around in the good old days of Leagues 1 & 2.
BBQ & beers sat on the grass bank, it was always the 1st
pre-season friendly & everyone went just for the BBQ, beers and
socialising. Not sure anyone actually watched the game - ever!
Dermot has a great sense of humour and on one occasion he showed
Marcus Browning a red card in the car park as he arrived while
telling him it would save him having to do it in the game. We
were all in fits of laughter. Every year he'd ask me if he was
still my favourite ref and I'd say yes so he'd shout over to
Marcus, that's you booked again! Marcus was my fav player & the
most booked player! The origins of my forum name - Marcus
nicknamed me Book Me Browning, shortened to bmb over the years.
Very good memories of Dermot from those games! Not sure I ever
saw him in the league though!

I completely agree with you Plym-Nick. I am afraid Gallagher's
criticism of Rob Jones comes under the general category of
nit-picking. It is just too easy to find a technical error
withon a referee's performance and miss the overarching picture
of a referee in absolute control of a match. In my view, the
whole Assessing/Obseving business is bedevilled by such minor
criticisms and thus fails to observe the bigger picture.
Assessore/Obsevers please note, great referees are not
manufactured but have an inate talent for their craft. Rob Jones
has it in spades,please let's celebrate it.

I liked Dermot Gallagher as a referee but he wasn’t without his
errors. If it wasn’t for that career threatening Euro
96 injury who knows what additional honours he could have picked
up ?
I agree with WB. While it is disappointing that Rob Jones
missed a relatively minor error in law, I would still prefer to
see him referee a match than the likes of Robinson or Davies who
could pick up on such things and be generally woeful for the
other 90 odd minutes.

I certainly agree with the sentiment of the second paragraph but
I don't think they are mutually exclusive - you can rate Rob
Jones very highly but still be critical of the officials for
missing a relatively obvious offence.
