See comment above about ref.
One incident I saw on saturday summed up the standard of the match officials. Two players were tussling for the ball right on the side line. They were no more than two yards away from the linesman but had their backs to the ref who was at least 20 yards away. The Stanley player, I think it was McIntyre, deliberately knocked the ball against the Oxford player to get the throw in. The linesman wasn't even looking at the players or the ball, but kept his eyes on the ref who gave the throw-in to Oxford.
