Here are some observations of yesterday's game at Olympic. Edgy's Japanese import has more chance earning a living making sushi at Kotara shopping centre than in the A League,he was nowhere to be seen yesterday. Mcbreen did okay but ran out of puff,must've been all the ballwork he did with his young fella during the 20s game. The only thing quicker than Goodchild on his way to goal number 3 were the Edgy supporters piling out of the ground around full time. Before anyone has a pop at me for heaven sake take a chill pill!
Does anyone else see a problem with this goal? How did the ref not see the obvious push in the back?

That goal and game in general would well sum up Atowns season.
Terrible ref decision of which Atown have had more than a fair share and then self destruct button again and a sending off when in control of a game.
And yes, I am aware and understanding that others will have suffered bad ref decisions as well.
Refs have not been great this year in many games I have watched and games not just involving Atown .
I guess Bar TV now highlighting this even more .
The standard of reffing is shite.
Take Olympic
Goodchild does the exact same thing every game. Plays a very physical game pushing and shoving and using his body.
The bloke gets away with half a dozen little fouls a half.
Yet you have the referees pulling up his teammates and opposition for the most trivial bits of contact in the game.
It just so frustrating to see free kicks given for the same things Goodchild should be getting pinged for and doesn't
Hearing lots of players killing out of northern team...
Why would they play when Miller comes out and says he will be using youth guys etc..
Player from azzurri u22 got a yellow card in the first five minutes on Sunday for kicking the ball three foot back to where the free kick was given, player now misses a week for fifth yellow, the referee stopped game every five minutes to chat to players including a near three minute chat to captains before the toss ....
Maitland's first goal was the clearest foul I've seen in a while.
Huge push into the defender's back to push him into the keeper and allow a tap in.
Not as bad as the NewFM game with Kahibah and Thornton. Ref blows whistle for a penalty, Kahibah player following through kicks ball into back of the net, ref calls goal. His reasoning was apparently he didn't think people stopped playing after he blew his whistle for the penalty.
Man, the referees association is going to be inundated with people willing to give refereeing a crack.
I'll be sure to let you guys know when the registrations are open.
Great, the forum is certainly not short of thick heads.
No need to. I have been refereeing for a number of years and am still active. What I have witnessed this year across both NPL and NewFM is a decline in the standard of referee that is appointed and glaring mistakes that should be corrected but are not. These are not little things but mistakes of Law, but as they do, they still get the games the next week and get told you should have done it better. I can and have made errors when refereeing and will admit as much but it is the arrogance of these higher level referees in these competitions when others observe the mistakes that is astonishing.
Would be nice if there was a bigger pool to draw from.
Where are you getting these "better referees" from?
It's a job nobody wants to do, and those that do do it are treated like shit. If a ref goes up to carter or piddo and calls them a f ing c bomb. Chances are they are getting some punishment. Yet it's ok for players to do this?
It's a two way street. It's easy to demand better referees. Think of the reasons why they are so bad tbough.
And I'd love to hear your thoughts on a solution?
Nnswf doesn't check bartv...even when a player has done a naughty thing...
So if your dropping a ref for a bad performance, who are you appointing the following week? A young inexperienced ref who is not up to the standard required who will get chewed up and spat out. Then what do you do? You seem to think their is an endless supply of referees? Are you putting your hand up blueboy? Bet not, no balls...
Refs make mistakes, doesn't mean they should be crucified. Name a player that's never made a mistake in their career?
I'm more worried about he standard of play then the refereing, it's been terrible apart from a couple of games, some players would struggle in Zone premier league
