       Clear elbow off the ball by Accrington playerin first five
       minutes yesterday. Can understand it being missed until play
       restarted with a free kick to Shrewsbury.  Of the officials saw
       enough for a free kick how did player not even get spoken to?

       I think an email from FA will be forth coming - that is an
       assault!

       Charge raised. 5th time this season The FA have decided a
       Shrewsbury game has finished with incorrect number of players. 3
       overturned red cards and 2 opponents charged after the game for
       elbowing players. This one I could understand as very off the
       ball.

       So what exactly were you implying?

       On a more general point, in my 30+ years of watching mainly
       League 1 and League 2 games, I am seeing more and more referees
       being unbelievably pedantic (albeit yes, they are enforcing the
       laws of the game) with relatively small details*, and missing
       many more KMIs.
       *For example the exact spot throw ins should be taken from, and
       recently the vanishing spray being used to mark the exact place
       of free kicks in a teams own half and also the 10 yards away
       from a drop ball restart.
       For some referees they seem absolutely reluctant to give the big
       decisions, possibly rather than give them to be shown to be
       incorrect?
       I know it will never happen but we have all seen the
       inconsistencies/involvements by VAR in the Prem, then if it was
       to be used for a few games in Leagues 1/2 , it really would
       actually highlight how comparatively poor and inconsistent those
       referees are.

       To add to the pedantry, I will point out that other players only
       need to 4.5 yards away from a dropped ball restart not ten.

       Not implying anything. Just stating a fact. Makes me laugh when
       Arsenal manager moaned about a free kick or penalty not going
       there way. Yet we have been really unlucky with decisions this
       season.
       Think Bristol Rovers missed red card after 20 minutes was the
       one which annoyed me at the game as I think match officials were
       only people not to see it.  Saturday's one was so off the ball
       would have been amazed if it had been picked up at the time.
