    A decent referee

    I thought the Ref was brilliant on Saturday...

    By not giving a foul until the 35th minute (correctly too) the game was allowed to flow and was partly the reason the game was so good, one of the best I've seen down the Valley, you barely noticed him
    He didn't give a foul until the 35th minute because it took 35 minutes for anyone to commit a foul. That's doing his job, not being 'brilliant'. My postman isn't 'brilliant' just because he can put an envelope through my letterbox. Can't say he had a brilliant second half either.

    How many Refs do you see giving fouls for pointless little infringements, just to impose themselves at this level - He was just doing his job but was doing it well, is called credit where credits due!!
  • Goalkeepers "marking out" the six yard box with their studs.
    Open air toilets.
    Goalkeepers wearing plain green tops.

    Decent firefighters.

    Quite offensive comment!!
    My son is a firefighter, only the other week HE went into a burning flat and pulled out four people, three young children and their Mum. Thankfully he managed to get them all to the paramedics quickly and they all survived without serious injuries. I suggest "mate" you think twice before making such a crass comment. Just to add, when he told me what had happened I told him how proud of him I was...........his reply was "its my job"

    COYR.......................
  • Bunking in as kids :-)

  • Change out of two bob at the turnstile!
  • People with a sense of humour
  • Photographers going behind the home goalie in the second half as if they knew something we didn't.
  • An Elephant

    That's true actually. Fair enough.

    Mate, he was making a joke that relates to another thread on here. I'm sure he wasn't having a pop at firefighters.
