Britt never offside in a million years and handball by Benson before Woodyards goal. Incompetent ref and 4th official.
It's not as if the player was going anywhere....What on earth Woodyard was thinking when he committed that foul is just beyond me!!!! Dumb as a box of rocks!
I'm not going to defend the ref (who was not good - nor quite as bad as some were suggesting).
I'm not going to defend Mr Hatzidakis who clearly made a match-defining error.
But the poor 4th official (who is a decent non-league referee), what did he do wrong ??
[[But the one that got me was when Leonard (think it was him) was upended in the box near the end. Clear penalty and the ref and Lino had a perfect view! /QUOTE]
i sit in south lower....I was no more than 20 feet away
Sorry to say this but Leonard dived......
i would have taken it if he had given it.....
It is easy to blame the officials when you lose, that's why I always make a point of slagging them off if they have a bad game and we win!
for the first time ever, I walked away thinking the Lino and ref cheated. I know it doesn't make sense as what would they have to gain? But the offside decision was clearly wrong. Britt wasn't travelling at pace, he was standing there clearly onside and the ball didn't travel far or fast.

I sit in the family stand, and although i wasn't directly in line with the 'offside', I knew it wasn't. Normally if it is tight, the first thing I do is look at the Lino. so I do not make a fool of myself by stripping to my underwear and spinning my shirt above my head. But I didn't even look this time, as I had no doubts. Fortunately I saw his flag go up out of the corner of my eye so the shirt stayed on!
Strange to have 2 clear decisions go against the home team!
If you sit in the south lower then you were a bit closer than me but I saw it from a different angle. From our side it was definitely a foul. Anyone else?
from my view i thought the 1st tackle was ok, the 2nd was a cert penalty thoughWas a foul from the south upper. He was caught twice in very quick succession
I am sorry, but that is the worst offside decision I have seen in 25 years,
