Albion Rovers vs Edinburgh City


Recommended Posts

The referee obsever agreed for a rovers official to run the line but couldn't as he wasn't part of covid testing regime

It was then agreed for an unused rovers player to put the flag up only when the ball went out of play

Naismith then kicked up almighty, stropping and spat the dummy well and truly

Embarrassing from the manager and what looked like the city board too,

Second half was played without a linesman

The propper get it up you moment was city missing a second half pen, binnie making his 7th penalty save of the season

Game must have 3 officials.  Should be interesting to see what the SPFL do?  Second half shouldn't have started.  Not even at a pub Cup game.

Interesting as in the game should be replayed? Would be interesting how Edinburgh felt if they were 2-0 up.

No game must have 1 official,

Added to that permission was gained by spfl so nothing will be done
Plus city had to agree or they would have forfeited the match

Naysmith was quite right to protest. To have an opposing player running the line is a ridiculous situation to be placed in.

No complaints about the result, we were absolute guff in the first half. At least we were improved in the second half, but that might be due to no linesman to call us offside [emoji23]

I thought our new signing Robertson did well when he came on.

He wasnt running the line he was telling the ref when it was out of play the ref would make the decision what way

City refused to nominate somone to do this when offered the chance and the second half only started without a linesman after city were told if the second half didn't start they would forfeit the match 3-0

Naismith and your board were embarrassing the way they went on

How many times in the EOS league/Lowland league did city have linesman

Process was followed

The referee observer was in constant dialogue with both clubs through the full situation

Naismith was some state and will probably cost you a playoff Place this year

City are a shadow of the team they have been in previous years

They have now played a rovers team twice which has had players missing and not impressed at all

Always in the Lowland League they always have assistant referees. No doubt back in the day they would have played some EOSL games without them.

We used to quite often play East of Scotland games with "neutral" linesmen. I've done it myself on occasion and been abused by both sides! A City fan actually managed to get a Gala player booked for giving him abuse when running the line which was funny. So I personally wouldn't have been bothered with the Rovers lad running the line.

If the referee observer was attending the game why didn't they get off their arse and help? At least they would have been "neutral". Also could an emergency call have been put out to one of the officials at a local West of Scotland game- they kicked off earlier and for example Gartcairn were at home and the Grade 2 or 3 might have been able to nip down to Cliftonhill.

Anyway in the end Rovers won fair and square, No 7 Wilson looked decent, we were gutless, spineless, brainless and useless although Robertson looked like injecting a bit of urgency into the team. He should start against Forfar

Regardless, an opposing player should not be in that position.
The only reason it was a player was due to the fact noone else was allowed due to covid testing

Edinburgh had the chance to nominate anyone of thir choice who was able due to testing they said no

When it comes down to it all they were allowed to do was raise the flag when it went out of play, they weren't allowed to make a decision

The only reason it kicked off was the face city were getting pumped in the first half and the board and management realises their only hope was to get the game abandoned and replayed
