In our 3 games so far some of our players have looked out of place to be fair.
But still there is one thing ruining our chance of getting anything out of the game. The Referee We've had 2 different referees and they have both been terrible.

There's only so much time....

i totally agree with what your saying on the allocation of time on the show, but i mean take 5 solid minutes looking at the refereeing in this league as a whole, not just a few during specific games.i disagree with your opinion on the city/rovers peno as devine(sound guy as he is) never touched the ball, but besides them split second decisions which are hard to make, its the understanding of the rules that need to be discussed, for example:

i saw an official last year in 1st division give offside from a throw-in but i thought i was seeing things. but alas i wasnt as last week i saw a linesman do the exact same thing.

giving offside when a defender plays it back and a player in an offside position touches it.

the drogheda keeper scratchin his arse and gets lobbed. good quick thinkin from rams, disallowed.

we'll have roddy going to work on us on friday night.
