Referee for Saturday is

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Martin Atkinson

Have we ever had him before as I don't recognise the name (which could be a good thing)

 

[Guest]

Done a Premier$hite game or two and quite highly rated.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

I don't recognise the name either, must be a high level ref.

 

[BoyWonder2]

As long as he gives everything our way and awards us 12 penalties and denies Lincoln everything I'll be happy and welcome him back to referee at Roots Hall.

Anything less and he will be rubbish and the reason that we don't go up, it thats the case

 

[Herts_Cobbler]

Your kind of ref - he turned a late stonewall penalty in the Tranmere v Hartlepool 2 nd leg!

 

[BoyWonder2]

Top man.

Was that the Ref? He completely bottled a clear penalty because (I presume) it was so near the end of Extra time. Not sure why that makes him a top man, Boywonder 2... You know if he does that at the MS it will be against us....

It does because I wanted Hartlepool to win it.

It would have been a penalty to Hartlepool....

Okay dokey, I take back what I said, what a sh*te ref. Perhaps we should have him changed because it worked well for Northampton

He was the referee that took charge of our home match Vs Scunthorpe

Why is that "

" ? What did he do or not do?

 

[BoyWonder2]

Do you not remember the abuse he got on here after the match. A lot of people agreed that it was the worse referring performance witnessed at Roots Hall for many a year.

Between him and an equally inadeqaute referee's assistant they managed to award a foul 3 yards into the box as a free kick.

I despair at the thought of him. Lets hope he has imporved since then.

Oh sh*t. I've just watched the highlights and remembered I was actually at the game. Is he the one who doesn't allow two people to jump and contest a header? Which results in loads of stoppages and just a series of free kicks and no open play?

If he is this could be good in the sense that he'll penalise Futcher for leaning on players when he goes up for headers. But equally it will give them alot of free kicks to try and utilise their massive height advantage. Hmm...

If it is the same ref as the Scunthorpe game I seem to recall a thread on here that stated that he had refereed us something like 8 times at Roots Hall and we had NEVER won.

Oh God, oh please no, the unlucky end, a Jonah ref, oh no, oh no, oh please God no, AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Thank heaven's for that. Sanity restored. Please undo my straight-jacket.
