What a farce.
There’s been plenty of games at NYS where the linesman might just as well have sat with me in the West Stand such was their “non involvement” in the game.

and we thought we had refereeing issues ....
Referee Neil Hair limped off in the 22nd minute and was replaced in the middle by fourth official Alan Clayton.
Mr Clayton was injured at half-time and the interval lasted over an hour while both sides discussed how to go forward as neither of the injured officials could run the line and anyone qualified in the crowd had a bias to a particular side.
The second half ended up kicking off at 5.10pm, with the agreement of both managers John Coleman and Dave Artell, with assistant referee Danny Gratton taking over as referee and just one assistant Conor Brown.
It was decided on the toss of a coin which side he would officiate on, which was the Crewe half, while Mr Clayton went back to fourth official.
What a farce.

These two refs must have spent a day training at Roundwood
