The County time wasting would have resulted in a melee anyway, even if the ref had clamped down on it, as county would have objected. The ref cannot win in a situation. The idiots who are so called officials of the clubs are too blame, not the ref..

Friday, October 1, 2010 at 11:45 AMAll well and good! I see nothing regarding the referee, one who failed to control the match, which led to frayed tempers all round, from players to officials. If the FA would like to hear the comments of an ex referee's secretary, I might put forward the suggestion that the referee simply lost all control. In future, he might inform the fourth official that he is not an ornament or an easel to carry boards, but there to report ungentlemanly conduct emanating from the technical areas and to ask the referee to intervene.
