    Was the North Stand linesman ...

    a Scummer ? He was absolutely dreadful. It's not an excuse on my part but where do they get them from ?

    I'd say the same thing generally about the officials in this league. They are very poor. Don't forget Lovedean, its only 4 seasons since we were playing the cream of English football with the so called elite officials. I think its been a culture shock for all of us.

    It was probably the highlight of the game. It was the only time I stood up.

    I have to accept that in many cases the referees we get are often in their first or second Football League season, so they are by far from being the finished article. However the Linesman on the North side yesterday was shocking. He got so many wrong in the first half nothing surprised me in the second. One thing is certain, we get a different set of officials Tuesday night and start again at 7.45 p.m

    I dont think these linesmen are biased like Prem Linos, they are juat very inefficient.
