Interesting indirect free-kick incident at the end of the game
at Sutton yesterday, where the keeper appears to touch the ball
into the net. I bet Dan Robathan thought he was in for a quiet
day as fourth official...

2 things of note;
Firstly, dont be lazy, keep arm up until you are convinced
someone has touched the ball or it goes out of play
Secondly, the reaction of the nearest attacker was immediate, he
knew the GK had touched it.
Pretty poor from a SG2 official and his team.

Really sloppy / lazy. The arm was down almost before the ball
was struck. Had he kept it raised he could have simply pointed
to it with the other hand to explain why no goal was being
awarded.
Did the goal-keeper touch it? I don't know and neither does the
referee because he made little or no effort to get closer to the
incident.
I know that some of the laws of the game are a bit obscure and
little known but part of the basic role of a referee is to know
them and to know what to do when - once in a blue moon - such
incidences occur.
How can we legitimately complain when players, managers,
pundits, etc. do not know the laws ..........?

I was at the sutton vs barrow game in person as i'm a
photographer, got as close to incident and subsequent
discussions as i possibly could. It was a big call from Dan
Robathan but Andy Davies honestly didn't seem to have a clue
what to do. It was an embarrassing state of affairs. Barrow was
adamant that there was a touch and I think others are right that
refs should have an understanding of all the rules.

Lucky they sent an SG2 referee who has nothing much else to do
in his working life than make sure he is fully conversant with
every nuance of the Laws and best practice when refereeing !!!
How this man got elevated to that level has been a complete
mystery to me for many years.

I could be wrong, but one of the assistants at Stevenage v
Rochdale appears to be Matthew Wilkes.

A clean sheet for Mather!!
Oh by the way, his match was abandoned in the first half due to
waterlogged pitch

First viewing of Tom Kirk in action, albeit on IFollow rather
than in person. He seemed rather whistle-happy at the start and
his first YC for Rovers' Turnbull seemed very harsh when the
free-kick and foul arguably should have gone the other way. A
couple of YCs later in the first half could on another day have
been reds, while later on he didn't blow for a couple of fouls
which were far worse than things he'd been blowing up for
earlier on in the game. He seemed to settle down and had a more
low key second half, where he was rarely noticed. Mr Kirk has
attracted some positive comment on here, so assume that he was
not at his best on a Tuesday night in Hartlepool.
