Jack Burton Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 You've really not understood the point I'm making. The clubs in the top 4 tiers won't have had 50 different referees in the last two seasons - but if you have information that is contrary to that, by all means produce it. As it stands the lowland league can be reffed by cat1/cat2 and cat3 refs. League 2 however is restricted to cat 1s. I don't think it would be unreasonable for the lowland league to ask for the refs to be restricted to a smaller pool of referees, in theory of a higher standard. It's not boys club football after all - it's the fifth tier of Scottish football.Mike Roncone is a cat 1 ref. Your not happy they appointed one of the supposedly top officials for the game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was his second lowland league game of the season. I've a bugbear with the huge turnover of referees. In 32 games this season, Bonnyrigg have had 28 different referees - and we're not seeing the "top 20" refs in Scotland. For comparison - Clyde have had 22 different referees in 45 games. You've had the same ref - Peter Stuart - for NINE games this season, how do you do that????? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Wasn’t the refs fault you lost yesterday neebs, personally thought he was awrite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitba_daft Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) From a Kelty Fan view point thought The ref was terrible. The rose 2nd goal was a clear push and should have been disallowed. About 5 minutes after was a clear hand ball and should have been a rose pen. Then later on was a deliberate handball to keep the ball out. Fair enough the ref couldn’t see but I seen it clear as day the the lino was right in front of me. Would of been an interesting list 15 mins at 3-3 and Kelty down to 10 Edited March 1, 2020 by Fitba_daft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to think how to word this, but, I think Kelty have better players than I maybe thought they were, they were pretty ruthless in the way they went 3-1 up - I don't think anyone has stretched Bonnyrigg this season in the way they did, apart from BSC Glasgow. That said, I think we'll be disappointed when we look back at the goals conceded - we might have done more to prevent them. Whether the wind was a factor in the way the game was played, maybe, but ultimately the conditions are same for both sides. Once Kelty are two goals ahead it's a different game, they've a cushion and could set up a game plan for the second half. One of the things I love (and hate) about Bonnyrigg is that at 3-1 down nobody really believed the game was beyond us. We got a goal early enough, and we created enough chances to pull something out of the game. Did we create enough clear cut chances? I don't think so. Were we unfortunate not to score again? possibly. Does the team that score the most goals win, and everything else is just chatter? Absolutely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van magic Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 "It was the biggest crowd of the season inside New Central Park and some of the calls from the visiting fans were tasteless to say the least, one or two of the travelling support clearly having over indulged in the Fife hospitality." Eastcoaster will be along shortly to claim it was all the Kelty youngsters fault.I witnessed a kelty youngster striking a young Rose supporter... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s not 50 refs of the required quality in Scotland outwith the cat 1s who cover the 4 top leagues to cover the lowland league. the suspicion being they are being given games to further their development it’s an insult to the guys are reffing the lowland league every week that when a big game comes along it’s given to cat 1s you would never normally see. If you think cat 2s and cat 3s are that good you can call for them to be given league 1 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose that is true in that Category 1 referees do not officiate SJFA games: https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish-fa/referees/become-a-referee/referee-structure-pathway/category-one-referee/ There will usually be spare category 1 refs, so they'll do LL games (3 this weekend). Your LL games in 2020 have been refereed by 5x cat 1, 1x cat 2, and 2x cat 3, with refs from Angus/Perthshire, Ayrshire x2, Stirling, Edinburgh, Glasgow, D&G, and Fife associations. Full list of refs here: https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/5422/scottish-fa-handbook-2019-20.pdf#page=23 Will be interesting next season assuming the WOS is added as a league cat 1 refs can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS7 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Highlights are up on youtube: https://t.co/pjknaHH0Bg They are really good quality, and balanced I thought.

Ginaro Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The only credible Bonnyrigg penalty claim I can see is the one at 11:19 when the Kelty player has his arms outstretched and seems to deflect/save the shot. The other one at 10:09 you can't see what happened on the ground and the one at 9:26 is never a penalty (arms by his side, ball hit from a yard away). However I expected the second Bonnyrigg goal to be ruled out as the defender was pushed a couple of times and overran the ball in the air, allowing the the attacker to get the shot away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I agree with Barry's assessment that Kelty could have been 5 up at half time, mind. I actually thought at half time that Kelty should maybe have been another goal up at half time given how well they had played, but the fact of the matter is that they weren't, obviously. Tbh some of my thinking was based on the fact that I thought that they would need another goal because Bonnyrigg are too good a team not to find a way back into the game and they came very close to getting a point out of the match. It's advantage Kelty but there's possibly a few twists and turns to come yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 What’s the goal scorer playing at following Keltys second goal? Absolutely barges into the Rose keeper and take him down, outrageous behaviour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
