Don's Match Thread

This should be used by the manager to motivate the dressing room massively. Tell the players it proves how much we have to scrap and fight for every win, and that we can't rely on anyone, including the officials, to give us any support. Nothing but absolute commitment to playing our brand of football, that has been so successful this year, will do.


Bring on Portsmouth.

That is bang on as far as i'm concerned,I have said what i think of the ref if the case was proved, I stand by it.:mad:
 
Exile has it spot on, a very close and hard-fought contest with neither side giving an inch. Having seen those Wimbledon forwards make hay at our place, I was wondering how we would cope, but the surface was poor and made pass and move difficult. I thought we played the better football of the two sides, always looking to get it down and find the wings. Our set-pieces were generally poor, though, and when either Piero or Sean Mc did box it, there was always a Wimbledon head there. I can't recall us having a headed effort on goal. A pity we couldn't have found a way to run at them from more central positions, though the conditions made that a tough ask. Really hard lines for Etheridge, neither of the officials were in a position to make that call, and an even tougher decision to swallow for Billy. A special mention to Tom and Matty who were excellent throughout in central defence and gave Elliot and Taylor barely a sniff, and then stood up to the barging and elbowing that passes for Akinfenwa's game these days. A proper battle and a moral victory for the Reds.
 
I doubt the players will need much motivating given that it was Jimmy (Ghandi) Bell who had to peel them off the ref at half time. We all know for Stanley to succeed the team often has to beat more than their opposing 11.
 
Having seen this and the reruns of the goal on TV, it was quite clear the ball was on it's way when the whistle was blown. It will take a finite technology to say if the whole of the ball had crossed the line at the point of the whistle blowing, Nobody could believe the ref blew up at that point, It puts a bitter taste in the mouth if you add all the other dreadful decisions if they were not more than mistakes. I do hope every avenue is exploited by the club in appeals all round. These officials should be sacked.
 
Just seen it on twitter...BLOODY disgraceful refereeing. Never ever seen anything like that in my life-at any standard. The jerk should be publicly castrated.
 
Pathetic refereeing. The goal decision blowing just before the ball crosses the line is disgusting. The sending off looks wrong to me but could be 50/50 in real time and difficult to call.

However would a half competent ref blow as the ball is crossing the line, or why else would a ref get in that position? The FA and Football League need to respond to this.
 
To be blunt....Trevor Kettle should not be allowed to referee any form of professional football ever again.....Id even go as far as saying the clown shouldn't be allowed to officiate in schoolboy football.:mad:

That decision could potentially cost us an automatic spot come May....the financial implications if Stanley miss out on the autos by those two points lost could run into tens...nay hundreds of thousands.:mad:

Not to mention that the decision may have scuppered quite a few bets yesterday. It might effect season long bets ( I know I've made one and it might cost me a decent lump ) Though I dare say the bookies won't shed too many tears.:(

I'm surprised Coleman took it as well as he did.....though I dare say he was watching what he said, for fear of a charge from the circus who employ the clown who was in charge !!:o

Can't comment on the sending off from what I've seen on various videos....evidence was a bit inconclusive.....:confused::confused:

When I played in local league football, after the game, we had to mark the ref's and officials performance. If the rating was lower than a certain mark (4 or 5 rings a bell) , the club would have to explain the reasons for such a low / poor rating.

If the same scenario is used in pro football in today's age.....I'd seriously hope Stanley's players and officials gave that clown a suitably low mark...so that his "officiating" is looked at.

Absolutely Disgusted.:mad::mad::mad:
 
never seen a ref blow for time when the ball is in the penalty box let alone when the ball is nearly crossed the goal line as a matter of interest I see there was 3mins of extra time shown on the board does anyone know how much extra time was played

The only thing the club can appeal against is the sending off, nothing else. Technically the referee was not wrong, just plain stupid

If you're going to be corrupt you'd give each team 5 penalties each. A 5-5 draw at the bookies would be greater odds than 0-0 :)

Not if yeh wanted the Wombles to win,? down to 10 men plus 9 extra mins on top of disallowed good goal, it makes me wonder.

delighted with the point against an in form side away from home but after watching the goals rush I just can,t believe what I saw. clive Thomas got all manner of stick when he blew the whistle whilst a corner was in the air before someone scored a goal from it. but whistling kettle yesterday did something I,ve never seen in 60 years of playing watching and refereeing. I always wait till the ball is in mid field or gone out of play before ending a half or at full time. that stops any arguments whatsoever. this would not take place by a new young referee doing his first under 9,s match. you don't need technowledgy for these things its called common sense. we all know kettle and his other pals will be out next week causing their self induced mayhem. they are not cheats but I,ve always wondered how some have got where they got in the first place, I do know there is a lot of creeping and pushing certain people in refereeing. could tell you loads of stories but would take me hours and my finger would be blunt. only hope the two points lost will not affect us at the end of the season. if there was any doubt about the side this should really galvanise them as it seems to be Stanley against the world.

Without wanting to go to far off track I quit reffing because of the politics and the brown nosing. It's who you know what you know gets you to the top ;)
 
We all know how many debateable decisions we've had from referees, it must sometimes sound to others like we're making excuses for a disappointing result & yes, some of these decisions are part of football & as Coley says what makes it the game it is BUT the ludicrous one by Trevor Kettle yesterday isn't only being berated by Stanley fans, the reactions to the clip on Facebook & Twitter say it all & yet, no doubt he will not face any action because of it & will carry on bumbling his way through more games - seemingly untouchable & above any reproach - that can't be right! Wimbledon must've thought all their Christmases had come at once.
Stanley meanwhile have to just put a brave face on it & carry on, just hope he isn't assigned to a game at the Crown anytime soon!
 
We watched the Football League programme last night and the commentary said they have never , ever known a ref blow his whistle at that moment before . I wonder if he would do that had he been ref at United games ???? an utter disgrace.
 
I sincerely hope yer right monkey hanger @ the guy aint a cheat, but i aint naive enough to believe there is no corruption in football or any sport for that matter, though i reckon theres more stupidity.
 
The referee for the postponed Portsmouth game was Trevor Kettle; which means it's "his" game for the re-arranged date!!

The good news is that he also has been assigned at game at Bradford which was off for some reason; which has also been scheduled for Tuesday the 8th.

Happy to report Mr Kettle's off to Valley Parade at the minute.
