Strange one in L1.

Oxford played Ipswich last month, during the second half it got ridiculously foggy and was arguably unplayable. The ref asked both managers if they wanted to abandon the game and they both said ok...until the ref said the current score of 1-1 would stand as more than 75 minutes had been played, at which point both said no, carry on then unless you want to just make the call yourself (both teams wanted a win realistically, a point wasn't much good). Oxford won 2-1 near the end in faintly farcical scenes where it was impossible to see the ball.

Both clubs then looked for this mythical "75 minute" rule. Which remains exactly that, mythical. It doesn't exist. So they both complained.

PGMOL have investigated and now say both managers were lying and the ref never said that. Yeah, seems likely.

Ref been watching too much F1 clearly.

Completely unfit for purpose

Judge for yourself on the conditions:

Pfffft woke snowflake footballers

This was the foggy view for my first ever game at Molineux v Stockport...

 

[Alan]

Why would the winning manager lie about it? Nonsensical.

Yes your honour, they both independently said exactly the same thing, but they're both wrong.

I imagine he complained in the first place because despite winning, he's not mad keen on having a ref for future games who either doesn't know the rules or is happy to simply make them up.

"Hey these 3 points were crucial but I'm going to lie and say we shouldn't have got them."

I mean, I know the PGMOL is dense, but it's unfathomable to me that people would just accept that take.

Must be something about sensational goals in the fog. The winner for Oxford looked like a belter but we're still having to take the word of Worthington and the players on the pitch with regards to the Stockport one.

All this talk of bad weather has me reminiscing...

A decade on and Los Ticos still haven't forgiven us for this.

 

[YoungWolf]

Ha, that reminds of the England pre-world cup (2014?) friendly where the weather delayed kick off and as a result we got some of the most painful TV of all time from Adrian Chiles and co

Too bad nobody would think of hiding porn videos on set for another decade...

 

[Langers]

When you think this forum can't sink any lower, someone has Adrian Chiles and porn in the same post.

This thread and Alan's account needs nuking.

Drinks in the stands??
You must be kidding!
Liquid bombs of Carling and beer it's bloody obvious! Why don't these interfering politicians keep out of this sort of decision making?
Never got over standing next to Liverpool fan at Anfield and he wanted a piss, so he rolled his Sporting Chron up into a roll, got his dick out and pissed into it but not before putting it into guy's coat pocket in front of him!
Of course you wouldn't get that sort of behaviour if you were all seated.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That sort of shit happened on the west Terrace at Cardiff Arms park for aeons. Literal rivers everywhere

The referee will be getting our game with Bournemouth too

We played two friendlies in Miami. I went to the first versus Ecuador and the the second a few days later was delayed because of an electrical storm. 2014 just before the WC.
Sun Life stadium surrounded by a massive car park and very little else of interest.
