Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
Worst part was the poor Lad was left writhing in agony after he got clogged, both the Ref and the Liner seemed reluctant to stop the play. Miserable performance from the Officials today

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
Against the current guidelines there keeper threw the ball out.. so good on him

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
It was an absolute joke... he was visably in agony yet the game carried on for ages!!! both ref and linesmen were a joke!!!!!:mad:

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
Whilst you feel sympathy for those who are genuinely injured it's become an incredible art for a referee to tell the difference between real and fake.

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
yep... if they see a head injury they take no chances.. otherwise leave to play goes out... so many divers and kidders about :( hard for the ref to make the right decision..

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
I agree 100% but surely if they are not straight back up then maybe it is an actual injury... he was down for a couple of mins before someone decided to stop play, an absolute joke!!!!!

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
It was obviously bad for Leighton but I agree with what has been said - the modern game is becoming virtually impossible to referee with diving saturating games.

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
does this mean a return for browny to come and sit on our bench till january when we find some cover???

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
Official site says McGivern will be out for up to 4 months. Very bad news for him and the team. He looked to be the answer to some of our problems.

Can't believe the bad luck we're having with injuries this season. Everytime I've seen McGivern he's looked the business to me (which is why I've sponsored his shirt). Thought he was playing superbly yesterday. I just hope he recovers in less than four months.

Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
I just hope the Mac player who deliberately and blatantly inflicted the injury on McGivern is proud of himself. The poor lads season is probably over and the b*****d who did it got off scot free thanks to the delay by the linesman in stopping play.

I think its getting harder for the officials to know when a player is actually hurt or if a player dived, which the players only have themself to blame for diving (not saying Leighton did dive) but we see it all the time, players diving and if the Referee stopped it everytime a player went down the game would never get going, and then we would moan that the Ref is trying get all the attention. |
Re: Latest on Leighton McGivern?
