Budapest

I invaded his personal space and eyeballed him to let him know how shite he is.

Arrogant old fart wouldnt even flinch.

Whilst I don't condone abusing linesmen but the reality is this guy is a blatant cheat.

Hero :lol: :lol: :lol: Far from it :clown:

Just like to see justice for cheats. I have no time for tools like him.

P.s All the cheating in the world didnt help his cause that day....Was his own players that were also disgusted with his antics

I love how its so easy to whinge and moan about linesman and referees cheating and making bad calls, if players concentrated more on putting the ball in the net instead of always looking to blame the officials we probably wouldnt need to have stupid topics like this all the time. Yes there are bad decisions from officials at a lot of games but seriously there arent that many that are blatantly cheating. And if they were then you would expect the committee of the club involved to find someone who is going to do a more honest job for the benefit of their own clubs reputation. Linesmen make bad calls more often than not because they dont know the rules pure and simple.

I would agree with a lot of what you have said there. However, the Budapest guy is a blatant cheat. As for the last sentence, I would say there is a lot of truth to that, but if they don't know the rules they shouldn't be running the line.

Is that the 70 year old bloke?

I hope not because it's a bit sad trying to start a fight on a bloke drawing his pension.

Gotta hand it to that old man. Biggest character in the league. I give him cabernet every time we play them and he always gives it back twice as hard.

Totally agree that they shouldnt be running the line if they dont know the rules but you see it time and time again that someone has been roped into running the line and its clear they dont have any idea how to flag for off side decisions. It comes down to the unwillingness of players who do know the rules putting their hand up to do it because of abuse that they cop from spectators and that goes for some of their own supporters not just the away ones!

Hence why the Referee is NOT obliged to act on their ADVICE. As per the Laws.

after playing pontians on the week end their linesman not only takes the cake but went to shop bought the ingredients and baked is aswell!!! he flagged every time we went forward for offside and was given(95% which were clearly onside) he send a ball did not cross the line in the c'c which must have been 4ft over the line(almost touched the back net) and then in the b's had a 2nd disallowed for off side which was clearly not and can only be explained by it would of made the score 2-2 with 9 men, yes they sent 2 of ours players off and our linesman in the best display of cheating i've ever seen!!! :clown: :clown: :clown:

not at all, but when players are running from 2m on side you dont have to be in line and when our sweeper(one of the most honest and fairest blokes i know states this(must be his age)) i feel i can then comment!

Normally i would agree and steer clear, however if someone blatantly cheats, then they need to expect the feedback.

Hmmm, your user name suggests your judgement may have been impaired.
I'm very happy to have moved to West Ham, because I can play for a better team than Sheffield Wednesday.

Wittling it down now. Perhaps there was just one dodgey decision that more than likely was too close to call.

I thought San Marco's linesman was very ordinary, gave some offsides that weren't, but the same bloke refereed the B grade game and did a pretty good job. But probably what was most disturbing was that he wore bicycle pants instead of shorts, that is just not on!!!
