Can anyone explain the drop ball? Stop us when we are about to score as they are pretending they have a head injury, then just give the drop ball to their keeper to play on?
Quite easily. It is because the injured player was lying in a active area, and could have suffered further damage if players going for the ball, and accidentally landing, or colliding with the prone player. The referee has to take into account, the safety of the player. The ball had already sailed over him, and the ball was again to be put into the box.
The referee stopped because of the current guidelines.
A drop ball now has to be uncontested
He should have stopped it 15 seconds earlier when play was outside of their box with us advancing.
The non-contested drop ball rule is rediculous. We were in a promising attacking position so if anything we should be given the ball back.
I hope we get out of the league, this season has seen the worst standard of officiating since I've been following Argyle.
The guy today was clueless, the Mayflower lino calling a throw the wrong way (even their player who kicked it out thought it was ours), Lyndy lino seemed to be watching another game and the ref was blowing for everything except when Hardie got manhandled to the ground.
The current referees are used in Div 1 and div 2, so donât know what point you are making.
Thought the Lino, had a good game, got all the offsides totally correct.
We're stuck with these awful officials due to VAR sucking up the decent ones to the prem, thus we get ex-national league and lower.
So this lot are mostly first timers in the EFL. I think the first 4 or 5 refs we had this season we were their first EFL games, and it showed.
No it doesnât, you give the impression that they are referring for the first time, they have been referring for at least 10/15 years, and done 5 years on the National League, I can tell you doing that League is no joke, and you cut your teeth in them.
