It's gone in.

[For Us All]

Angry scenes at Kidderminster where Wrexham fans try to convince referee Amy Fearn that their team had scored a goal.

 

Views and opinions please.

Even better try Youtubing the Barnet v Cambridge game where a Barnet fan with a smoke bomb ended up costing his team victory after they had a last minute goal chalked off. Goes to highlight the entirely pointless nature of such items.

For all the flack she took how many blokes would change there mind at get it right !!!!

Wouldn't have been a problem with goal-line technology. :)

Just shows how useful these assistant referees are when they check the nets.

Why would it of made a difference if it was a male or a female ref?i dont see how it was her fault that their nets were broken. A.the ground staff should of checked them and B.the assistant refs should also of checked them

To be honest, looking at the video at full speed from that angle I can totally understand her decision. Eventually made the right one after consulting the assistants. Good on her. The opposition players trying to intimidate her when it is likely they would have seen it go in deserve far more criticism.

I suppose this proves it doesn't make a difference whether male or female official!

Exeter v Halifax from 2006.

 

Luckily it gets stuck in on the rebound but wasn't give on the original shot.

 

I can understand the fans and players frustrations but I've seen and heard of male refs giving far worse decisions than that(had she not given the goal in the end), although to me it's pretty obvious it goes in.

Kidderminster's ground staff are to blame for not checking the nets!

No, it just shows how stupid fans can be when they react like that. What an idiot.

What I was trying to say was I have seen this sort of incident about 5 times, and on all others the ref has stubbornly stuck to his first decision, where On this occasion she took her time and reversed her original decision, and got it right !!

Spot on. The defenders knew it had gone in and their complaints were appalling, especially as they were 2-0 up anyway.

I've never seen a linesman check the nets properly and thoroughly. They just pull a few bits here and there and run off to the line to get the game underway. The club should ensure they are fine - they've had all week to check them.

 

Good on the ref - the right decision was made eventually.

That's an interesting one.

To be honest, I'm not sure that the smoke bomb made THAT much difference to the difficulty of the decision.

When the ball is in the air at that height, it's nigh-on impossible to know for certain whether the whole of the ball is behind or in front of the line.

A freak incident and, considering the uncertainty, I presume the correct decision was made.

Have you ever thought that perhaps fans wouldn't need to react like that if the groundstaff and officials did their jobs properly?

[aspins-revenge]

I presume from the man's logic that when a male referee makes a mistake, he will shout 'you'll never see a man referee again'.

 

What a wand.
