Early in the second half they deservedly equalised after intense pressure on the Charlton goal, and things stayed hectic for ther rest of the match, even after we scored two more. The referee was the talking point of the night though. The match was pretty much average for incidents, and yet the ref still managed to book eight players. That just has to be seen as more a measure of his performance than anything else. His problem was that having fussily booked players early on rather than just lecturing them he could only remain consistent by then penalising all similar incidents throughout the game. When, late on, he booked Bristol's number 4, Lines, we all fully expected to see the player sent off because the scoreboard showed that he had already been booked, and yet Lines remained on the pitch. The crowd drew his attention to this with chants of 'You don't know what you're doing', 'You'll be sacked in the morning' and, best of all, 'We've got two Sodjes, he's had two bookings!' The officials, however, remained completely unconcerned. On the way to the pub after the game I suspected that maybe there'd been a mistake in the box and that the first yellow flag had been put against Lines' name in error, but it seems that this was entirely down to the officials themselves. The fourth official, who'd been hyperactive all match, told a Charlton official in the tunnel that No. 4 had been booked, that this had not yet been put up on the screen and this oversight should be corrected. The lads who control the screen were therefore acting under official instructions. For an amusing account of the antics of the fourth official throughout the game take a look at Dr Kish's blog at http://charltonathleticonline.blogspot.com/2009/11/six-more-at-home.html ]]> http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1958715 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1953843 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1950015 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1936868 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1929929 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT ]]> http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1921530 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1918694 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1867760 Wed, 27 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1863881 Thu, 21 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://addicks.fotopages.com/?entry=1859316 Thu, 14 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT
