       Robert Madley L2 Play-off Final Morecambe v Newport
   DIR By: Boz

       A few incidents in the first half where Mr Madley has let things
       go when perhaps intervention required;
       Morecambe keeper goes to punch the ball clear and makes no
       contact with the ball but does hit the Newport player, no
       penalty given.
       Handball by Morecambe player where the ball is then crossed into
       the box, but nothing comes of it. AR was on the opposite side,
       couldn't be sure what Mr Madley saw.
       Two footed challenge by Newport's Sheehan in Morecambe half ,
       winning the ball but taking out the player in the follow
       through. Mr Madley plays on.

       Good to see that he has lost his PL hat and is refereeing a
       proper game of football instead of the sterile game which is
       played at the elite level.

       To have your whole season decided by a decision like that will
       rankle for a long time

       Sorry but that penalty decision is nothing short of a disgrace.
       Looked like was in initially going to wave it away and then is
       pressured into giving it. One it’s not even a foul and 2 it’s
       outside the box.
       Considering the penalty he didn’t give to Newport they can feel
       very much aggrieved.
       Deary me! :-[

       The penalty Mr Madley did award appeared to be as a result of
       contact outside the area and wasn't convinced at first glance
       there was enough to justify any foul. I also felt the YC for
       Newport's Demetriou seemed harsh two players seemed to be
       jumping for the ball and contact made in the context of cards he
       didn't issue elsewhere. Overall I'd agree with Charlieboy's
       assessment and after the plaudits for his handling of the L1
       semi-final definitely a step backwards today.

       Sadly, this is the way the modern game has been going for a few
       seasons with players 'feeling contact' and going down which is
       exactly what happened with the penalty. Minimal contact which
       was made just outside the box, however, I can understand how it
       looked a foul from the referee's positioning which was behind
       the players.
       I think that Demetriou was cautioned for something he said
       because the Morecambe player stayed down and Demetriou
       definitely said something to the referee and that was when the
       card was produced.
       Newport will feel aggrieved, however, they missed chances to win
       the game and Morecambe grabbed their opportunity when it was
       presented.
       League One teams will be able to go to the seaside in Lancashire
       having thought that they had missed out with Blackpool's
       promotion.

       Dear me indeed. That was the sort of match defining, injustice
       ridden performance that I thought we had seen the back of from
       him 3 years ago.
       He must have a soft spot for Morecambe as it was there he
       started his comeback from exile. Would that his exile had been
       as long as Newport's.

       Just watching back highlights
       Newport should've had a pen in first half
       Multiple cases let go throughout game
       Pen is a free kick
       I'd suggest going to Andy for some help Bobby

       Well if that game was intended as a test to see if he is worthy
       of promotion to SG2 it was pretty conclusive - not good enough
       by a country mile. Very poor, random performance.
       It will be an injustice if he does get the nod bit I very much
       suspect that the powers that be have already made up their minds
       and sadly we will see this overrated individual in SG2 next
       season. 🤬
