The referees in this league are dogshit. We had a disgraceful ref at a recent match and the assessor was sitting behind me. I confronted him at h/t saying he should never referee again. The assessor replied saying ~ he's having a great match. They are part of the problem.
It's become evident over the past 6 or 7 games that the play-offs are slipping away from and we continue to play the same failing negative system. Zero goals in the last 4 games says it all. We are trapped in this league under a manager who has come close to using up all his 'get out of jail'...
Chester have gradually improved their away form this year, but consequently our home form has deteriorated. Southport came with a plan and executed it perfectly. It seems that once we go behind that's it. Too many 5/10s for us last night and the manager seems to be making no attempt to rectify...
Probably m-o-m before the sending off. I knew how he felt because the ref and the lino on my side were completely useless.. They need to look at the refs at level 6 , because a good portion of them are no better than Sunday league refs.
That 6th wicket partnership of India's was the way forward. Excellent control and when the finishing line appeared two sixes smashed. I'm done with Bazball. Only works against the weaker sides. Rant over.
I can't describe how utterly disappointed I am with that 2nd innings collapse. The game was there for the taking. Too many players not turning up regularly enough. The only thing this series will be remembered for is the arrival of Bashir.
