Agreed. If those townenders hadn't thrown those balls onto the pitch though I think the ref would have blown the whistle 30 seconds earlier and with a final score of Boston 2 Chorley 1. Really disappointed to lose out on a chanceof promotion on such a fine margin.

Slowly calming....
Can anyone explain how there 9 was still on the pitch to take there first pen?
Persistent fouling, the worst dive since Trundle and then to top it off grabbing Garns by the throat as he is laid on floor and kicked out at him....
Getting wound up again :(

Dean elbowed Pidge in a clear straight red card but was missed by both officials. How he remained on the pitch I'll never know , still ref  seemed pleased the dirty cloggers won. We'll just have to win the league next season. Matt Jansen said we would be footballed to death !! More like fouled to death.

Have to agree ref should of gripped there players early on then to give jones a yellow at first small foul is a disgrace . Time was over
4 mins for there goal but have to give them credit it was a good goal . They had 2 chances and took them if we had took half our chances over the 2 games we would not of been under pressure at the end . never mind roll on next season and keep on smiling  ;D

The ref said the extra time was due to Felix injury..... 3 min on the 4 added. Erm there player was down for longer in the 2nd period of extra time with nowt added.... Screwed again but a massive well done to the players

There can only be two possible reasons for a man in black to ref a game so badly as him 1. He is on the take or 2. He is an absolute ****ing idiot, incompetent, spineless Chorley supporter. Disgraceful. Laughed the abuse off but he was earning it. He should never be allowed to be put in charge of a game ever again. They got away with assault after assault after assault. They were diving like Daley and poor Jones did a timid foul and was booked for it.
Having said that totally proud of Boston United squad. They were real professionals, no diving or retaliating, great discipline.
Well done man in black for giving the game to Chorley, you *osser.

We have this conversation every time we have a chance of promotion. FACT: they do not want us up, we are the most hated and despised team in all of non league.  All the good work that has been put into the rebuilding of our reputation, still has a long way to go. The powers that be have very long memories.  We cheated our way into the league,we cheated when in the league, we even tried to cheat half way through the match at Wrexham( going into admin ).

It is not fair on the present day club and team that they have to carry this shame.
We were cheated yesterday, as we were against Guisley.

I am afraid we will always be playing against 12 men.

I have to say yesterday seemed to me more that the ref and his crew were not up to the occasion in more ways than one.  He could not or would not make a decision when the home fans were right and baying.  The number 9 should have walked early on for the elbow in the face to Pidge and everyone could see that. Then gives a yellow for a trip by Jones; the Conf North officials are simply not up to refing play off finals of this size.

The lineswoman was equally hopless, at one point Felix started his run two yards behind the left back as the ball is played and she flagged him offside, another occasion an opposition player gets the ball by going through the back of Felix and she thinks getting the ball by any means is legit, hopless officiation.  The number 6 could and should easily have been sent off before he eventually was; as I screamed many times yesterday they needed to get a grip.  I can only see one winner next week anyway and it's not the team we played yesterday unless they have the same standard of officals.

The ref was far too lenient with his cards in the first half. Had he shown a couple early on, Chorley maybe would have changed their physical approach... or had more than 1 sent off.

Unlucky yesterday it's never nice to fall at such a late hurdle.

Blaming the referee is however a little shallow. Yes on the day he maybe was weak but you had the chance to see the game out in normal time and in penalties and failed on both occasions.

I would also hazard a guess that on more than one occasion you have had a few decisions go your way which aided your final league position. The extra 2 points the ref won for you against Trinity at York street a starter for you to ponder.

Enjoy the summer and we shall see you all at the Northolme next season, become a bit more welcoming of away fans and you may see more than 26 make the opposite journey.

Unless you were there how can you comment.  We were cheated. I spoke to a guy who has not been to see Boston in five years, he said" now I remember why I stopped coming, you play against the ref as well"

It's true we did have ourselves to blame for sitting off and trying to hold on.  I was merely making the point that it happens so often in the big games in this league that officials are weak ( and this crew were), you'd think the FA would address the issue in the play offs at least with an officiating team from an higher level.  As for you lot bringing more than 26 it would be nice I guess you count yourself lucky to be in the league so I doubt you'd manage to double it.

Correct we do think ourselves lucky to still be in this league but with a lot of hard work by volunteers bind the scenes we are.

As for bringing more than 26 to your place it will not happen whilst you continue to employ nazi stewards who continuously suppress away fans' ability to support their team. In my own personal experience I have seen fans told they can't hang flags because they cover advertising boards and on other occasions I have been hit by objects thrown by home fans and when any mention is made stewards have threaghtened with eviction from the ground. Excuse me for not wanting to pay to be subjected to such nazi operations.

Yes I know you had fans attacked at our place and that has now resulted in segregation being put in place to try to stop it. Things will never be perfect that's football.

Hopefully when you move to your new home you will employ new stewards. Start by shaving the nazi rash from the payroll

I tend to agree with Stanrat, yes the officials were poor but they didn't cost us the game. Two nil up the game was in our hands and we blew it. Also as LP posted if those balls had not been thrown in from our end their last goal would not have been scored as that must have took up at least a minute. We have had a great season the team and management have done us proud, so as far as I'm concerned it's onwards and upwards to next season when we can hopefully go one step further .

Unlucky yesterday.

Have to say (through gritted teeth) that Boston were probably the best team we saw on the Northolme this season.
However, to insist on a conspiracy theory (dipdodah) is a little extreme. Referees at this level are not the best, (like the players) and more mistakes are made- usually honestly. Perhaps too much injury time was played (more is added for time wasting) but it's not the refs fault that Boston missed their pens.
Referees job would be much easier if they didn't have 22 players trying to cheat.

Stanrat is also correct in his judgement of Boston's stewards (bouncers) it's a fact that some fans no longer go to Boston because of the "welcome" they receive, and hopefully with your new ground then new stadium management will follow

Good luck for next season, (but not against Trinity)

I didn't think the officials were terrible yesterday. Not perfect - when are they ever perfect? - but at no point did I ever really feel they were so hopeless that they somehow denied us the win. That was down to us - and an extraordinary equaliser. I thought the female lino was very good and got most, if not all, her decisions spot on, which is all you can ask for really.
Title: Re: FA please note
Post by: Odin on May 03, 2015, 06:06:54 PM
It wasn't the officials (plural) that were bad, it was the one person in black with the whistle that was the problem. He allowed their number 9 to assault our players, especially Pidge,  numerous times with his elbows, how do you think he got that cut to his head. The person in black, not a referee because that word implies he knows what he's doing, should have him sent to the bath tub in the 1st half but he didn't. Why didn't he. You can't tell me he missed all those assaults with his elbows and I use the word assault because what he was doing was a deliberate act of violence against someone intending to cause him injury so that he would have to leave the pitch.
By the way, the female Lino only did what the person in black had told her to do before leaving the changing rooms, "I will tell you which way to award the throw and leave the decisions on fouls to me." She only put her flag up after the idiot pointed to her which way to give it.
He was a disgrace for allowing their number 9 to get away with those assaults for as long as he did.
On Wednesday night the same player was yellow carded for doing the same act of violence very very early in the first half against the same player. Well done to Pidge for not dropping him.

Post by: Maxross on May 03, 2015, 06:33:36 PM
I'm not normally one for blaming it complaining about refs, but it's hard to argue against this performance not having impacted the result. Number 9 was a thug, pure and simple. He was getting nothing against Piergianni and so decided go give him an elbow in the face. It was the most blatant elbow I've seen in years, and I would guess not one person in the ground missed it. The fact that he stayed on and pulled Piergianni over to LB means he continued to have a considerable influence on the game, long after he should have gone. He went on to commit several other offences worthy of a yellow card, including a ridiculous dive before he was finally booked. On the other hand, Mark Jones was booked for the first minor infringement he committed. I can only guess that the ref was frightened of him.

Of course, he didn't cost us a 2-0 lead, we played our own part in that. But to say him staying on the pitch didn't contribute is simply disingenuous. Without their main arial target and with Piergianni freed up to defend against others, they would have been completely dofferent proposition.

I've just googled the referee's name and he is only 23 years old - younger than several of the players. He can't have been a referee very long, and certainly can't have had many year's experience at Conference North level. For a game of the magnitude and prestige of a play-off tie, shouldn't a more experienced official have been appointed?

This.  The ref wasn't great and wasn't awful.  Yes he missed things but who doesn't?  It's not like the refs at any other level are perfect either.  Can't see as the balls being thrown on made much difference either.  I certainly can't see the officials being part of a big conspiracy against us.

We had three great chances away and we hit the post at 2-1, score any one of those chances and that worldy overhead kick is a consolation and nothing more.  We weren't able to put them to bed and it's cost us.  It's a shame but we'll just have to avoid the playoffs altogether and win the bloody thing outright next season.

We were in title winning form after Christmas. Assuming the players who have committed to next season do indeed stay and we can make one or two additions I think we'd have to be in with a shout of the title. And in Pidge we have an exceptional player and leader who belongs at least a level higher, if not more.

We could write page-after-page about both games, about the perceived 'rights and wrongs' of some of the refereeing decisions, how we were really the better of the two teams over the two legs and how our emotions were pulled all over the place on Saturday. BUT, looking at things in the cold light of day, at the end of 210 minutes and however many more were added on, we didn't score any more goals than they did. I reckon, therefore, the above just about sums it all up beautifully.

agree totally with this.  Get a keeper keep Pidge and Dayle and we'll have a shout.  I'm worried about the team breaking up though...

In my own personal experience I have seen fans told they can't hang flags because they cover advertising boards and on other occasions I have been hit by objects thrown by home fans and when any mention is made stewards have threaghtened with eviction from the ground. Excuse me for not wanting to pay to be subjected to such nazi operations.

Yes I know you had fans attacked at our place and that has now resulted in segregation being put in place to try to stop it. Things will never be perfect that's football.

Hopefully when you move to your new home you will employ new stewards. Start by shaving the nazi rash from the payroll

Our stewards I got offered outside by one at Trinity. Guess what happened when I emailed the club the next day. Still awaiting the reply
The same stewards who like to leave open segregation gates...

The correct way to address problems with stewards is to do the same as The Big M  ,  that is  E-mail the club .    While Gainsborough ignored Big M I am pretty certain if Stanrat had e.mailed BUFC the club would have been professional enough to respond .

I'm not normally one for blaming it complaining about refs, but it's hard to argue against this performance not having impacted the result. Number 9 was a thug, pure and simple. He was getting nothing against Piergianni and so decided go give him an elbow in the face. It was the most blatant elbow I've seen in years, and I would guess not one person in the ground missed it. The fact that he stayed on and pulled Piergianni over to LB means he continued to have a considerable influence on the game, long after he should have gone. He went on to commit several other offences worthy of a yellow card, including a ridiculous dive before he was finally booked. On the other hand, Mark Jones was booked for the first minor infringement he committed. I can only guess that the ref was frightened of him.

Of course, he didn't cost us a 2-0 lead, we played our own part in that. But to say him staying on the pitch didn't contribute is simply disingenuous. Without their main arial target and with Piergianni freed up to defend against others, they would have been completely dofferent proposition.

Completely agree, didn't cost us but had far more influence on the game than he should.  Age should not be a barrier but hearing he is 23 does back up a thought during the game that he just didn't know how to handle the pressure.  Would he have taken a game with 3,000+ at before?  Did that make a difference?  I'm not bitter but I have a sour taste...

Don't blame the ref, blame the idiots who decided a 23 year old should be in charge of a game that is going to be full of passion, and the will to win by fair means (us) or foul (them(no.9)).

Call it sour grapes but did anyone else notice that Chorley's goalie moved off his line before at least two of our penalties were taken. Something else the ref appeared to ignore!

I think Master Nields should be remembered because of how bad he was. In future when I pay a call of nature after a good curry I shall say "I'm going for a Nields ".

Well he's chairman of the  referee  FA Youth Council, and he's just helped write a best practice guide on reffereeing. You couldn't make it up !
 

Tom Nield –RA-FA Youth Council Chairman
The RA-FA Youth Council have worked tirelessly on this project over the past year to produce what I consider an excellent best practice guide. The following document is a collection of a whole range of people’s opinions, views and  experiences, accompanied by the Youth Council’s own collective opinion on what we believe a local RA should be delivering. 
Personally, I believe a local RA should be an exciting and vibrant hub and a place where match officials of ALL ages, levels and experience can come together to share their thoughts, knowledge, and experience. I appreciate the need for a structure and business approach of any organisation, but I would ask any RA branch who over indulge in this, is spending the majority of your meeting on business and meeting reports really the best we can do for our referees? Should these meetings not be centred solely around the development and engagement of members and surely with current technology, couldn’t business be circulated by email and only brought up to be approved at branch meetings and/or answer questions from members? Developmental, enjoyable, and educational; for me these are the three key principles which every RA should be striving to incorporate into their branch meetings.   
From attending numerous RA events around the country, there is no simple or quick fix answer to creating a vibrant RA, as what works for one branch may not work or be suitable for another. However this document will help provide you with some ideas and a bit of an insight into what your colleagues are doing to ensure their RA is vibrant, well attended and enjoyable for all.   
I hope you enjoy this best practice guide and a special thank you to all the ABSs and Martin Pates, Youth Council Member who have contributed to help create this excellent document.

All that says to me is, let's get together every so often for a *iss up.
I remember years ago attending a particular training college and a fellow student had come straight from university with a 1st class honours degree. We all soon realised that if you gave him a book it made him very intelligent but when it came down to practical applications he was as thick as pig *hit. I wonder if they are related.
