Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe

Given Morecambe’s finances, Madley could not have been bought, so its just his sheer ineptitude that has ruined Newport’s season.

Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe

I feel nearly as robbed as if it was City. Ffing awful refereeing, two huge mistakes should not have such enormous consequences on a club, instead of Sheffield Weds, Sunderland & Portsmouth, it’ll be Sutton, Barrow & Stevenage

Re: County play-off

Premier league ref as well

As per my thread last week, PL referees are without doubt the absolute worst.

Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe

Nicky Maynard on the bench for County, and Aaron Wildig starts for Morecambe....

Bad luck Cewnty! You were the better team on the day. Can't understand why Maynard wasn't on the pitch from the start? Not a penalty for Morecambe either, foul happened outside the box.

Newport were the better team but lets face it that doesnt say much. They were poor as well.

Almost incapable of competing at corners and long throws no cutting edge.

Years since we were at that level but our promotion team with Eddie May would have hammered both out of sight.

I don’t know what it is, I haven’t seen any PL games but I’ve seen a lot of European games and the referees seem to have a better understanding, more empathy and more respect, they also seem to have lower profiles

English refs all seem to come across as arrogant

To play such a long season and have it defined by such a poor refereeing display must be horrible

PL referees have been built up in importance over the years, starting when they gave them different coloured tops as opposed to the rest of the football league/pyramid where all black was the tradition. I also suspect that they're picked for personality and ability to interact with the more temperamental PL player..

Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe

Before seeing the replay my impression was that Madley just guessed.

I dont even think he looked at the linesman.

Big respect to Mike Flynn for his post match interview. Gave Morecambe credit before dealing with the two terrible decisions.

[Hilts]

Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe

Flynn has every right to be aggrieved.

But if I was a Newport fan id be asking why Collins was subbed when he clearly had the beating of his marker.

This, I thought the Newport subs made them worse. I watched Lewis on loan at Cinderford 2 seasons ago, he’s a great lad and the reason I wanted Newport to win

Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe

County should have won that! The ref obviously had a shocker, but if County had more cutting edge they would have won easily. Morecambe were absolutely dire. County only have themselves to blame.

How can Newport 'only' have themselves to blame if the ref had a shocker?

Re: FT: Newport 0 - 1 Morecambe

Wasnt disappointed when Swansea lost, but am disappointed for Newport, after the shit they have gone through over the years. Hope this defeat doesn't set them back.
