He said oh yeah i suppose we should, so i specifically told him the shirt numbers in order, which he noted on the team sheet. He wasn't going to ask for them until i pointed out that the order is required. I was a bit underwhelmed by the lack of knowledge and 'officialdom' from the 4th official, so to make sure of the process, we wrote down the names and order and gave them to the referee. I guess we were a bit pro-active in overcoming the poor form of the men in charge. Shouldn't have to, but we did.
I guess what I'm saying is that neither team were asked for an order due to an oversight by the officials, but we provided one because its just what you do.
