**Cheltenham Match-day thread**

[Cobi Budge]

We were excellent for most of the half, but conceded a really sloppy goal.

Ref has no handle on the game.

 

[Welwyn Pilgrim]

One of the most inept referee performances I’ve seen at HP in 50 plus years. Absolutely clueless in all departments.

He’s totally embarrassing to the EFL.....

Terrible defending from Grant for the goal. Seems like Iit is not all Wootton fault.

 

[Tugboat]

Just a question, can we complain to the efl for poor officiating? How can we seriously stop these novices trying to ref a professional match?

Interesting reading the live action texts after seeing how many fouls Cheltenham committed and the text shows each foul was never by the same person twice in a row. I have a feeling that lower league refs looks for consistent fouling before awarding a card and Cheltenham be “taking in turns” seem to be playing the ref.

Whilst I agree that the ref has been awful, our defending from crosses is so dire. How can we keep conceding the same goal over and over, and not have any idea how to cope with them. Oh to have Sonny Bradley back in the side.

 

[Cobi Budge]

The Aimson goal was never a foul in a million years by the way.

 

[Ade the green]

Seriously hope i’m wrong but I can s see us getting a goal back beforehand going down 1-2 again.

I hope RL does give a poo about Exeter because beating them might be the only highlight of the year.

 

[Cobi Budge]

Referee has just failed to award the most blatant penalty I’ve ever seen for a foul on Mayor.

Atrocious.

 

[JannerinCardiff]

Not sure how we are losing that.

The ref has no control and is letting them get away with murder. Their goal comes from a cross and free header. Have we heard that before?

:furious:

Free header! That should never happen.

 

[Cobi Budge]

This isn’t a football match anymore.

 

[buck197]

So we concede a soft goal and it’s all the referees fault!!!! Cheltenham are very average and we are not punishing them.

 

[gru mpy]

Just seen the Aimson goal on twitter, and if this ref thinks that's a foul then he should never officiate another game.

 

[Longwellgreen]

Regardless of the ref, start to the season is fairly average, we don’t look like a promotion side yet.

Something’s missing, probably an ability to defend crosses.

 

[Lundan Cabbie]

Looking through the Live Text of the first half and Argyle were awarded 22 free kicks by this referee..... yet he is not doing his job according to most on here. What do you actually want?
