WTF? 
Utterly bizarre. I even had to wind it back as I was sure there were at least 4 players playing him on. |  |

Not as bad as the foul given against him when the defender fell over in the left corner at the beginning of the game, that was comical refereeing. |  |

I think the lino f'd up and gave it against Davis, even though he stepped back, wasn't interfering, and ignored the ball. |  |

That lino was hopeless. Also gave them a throw in for a ball that clearly hit the line but was nowhere near going out. Seemed to just make decisions up as he went along. Officials weren't great today but thankfully not game changing either. |  |

The linesman down Sir Alf end was possibly the worst I have ever seen.
Gave at least five offsides that were yards onside, like not even close, and the Ladapo one was incredibly given he ran from behind the defender after the ball was played.
We are looking right across the line. Davis was offside so I’d have said he flagged Davis who then never got the ball, but he was that bad he could have flagged Ladapo.
This sounds mad but we genuinely commented that the lino was going off when the ball was received and not played and it really then appeared to be the case! [Post edited 4 Mar 2023 18:58]

The lino on the Magnus stand side was easily the worst I’ve seen in this league and that really is saying something.
He made so many poor decisions, I honestly think he was guessing
With the usual poor ref, it makes the game a lottery at times
Luckily today it didn’t cost us, but it shouldn’t come down to luck |  |

Sorry, no. He was backing into his man when the ball was passed and about 3 other defenders were gosl side too. As others have said, it seems like the lino flagged for Davis even though it was pretty clear imho wasn’t involved in the play.
It’s not a biggie, but some of these officials are absolutely useless. | |

That’s not the worst of it, it was his own flick on that he was given offside from!
Poor officials today who also allowed Burton to make an illegal 4th substitution break |  |

The half time subs don’t count in the 3 allowed slots. Quite why, I’ve no idea. Why make it simple when it can be more complicated, eh? | |

They were the worst officials I've seen this season, and it's a very low bar.
Fortunately they were bad for both sides. I thought the referee was going to give a yellow card for every foul at one point. Some of the offsides, particularly Freddie's, were astonishing. And that "foul" in the corner in the first half was actually so bad it was funny. |  | | |

Genuinely in the top 5 worst officiating teams we've had this season but thankfully we took the game away from them having a major impact on it.
That offside decision was so odd and that lino seemed to guess at several throw ins as to whether the ball had actually gone out or not.
Ref giving them a free kick when their defender slipped when clearing the ball was gold, and made a mess for himself by booking Clarke for catching a Burton player as he then had to get card happy when every similar foul happened even if it was quite soft.
Couldn't tell from my angle if their shout for a pen was a strong one or not but their player also controlled the ball with their arm when we were on the attack which stopped it and allowed them to clear the ball so guess none of the officials could be bothered to look at things properly today. |  |

He also went to give a yellow card second half for Brayford until he realised it would be a second yellow. | | | |

Fair enough on the substitution instance, I forgot the first one was at HT.
However the offside was a flick on by Ladapo that he got on the end of after he flicked it past the defender, not sure how he could possibly have been offside in that instance | |

The lino thought Freddie flicked it on to Davis, who was offside, but Davis didn't make any attempt to chase it and Freddie ended up running onto it himself.
It's one of those decisions that if the lino had ever played the game, or watched it for years from the stands, he'd probably get the call right instead of flagging a player offside who was never involved. |  | | |

Yeah I saw that. The ref ruined himself for the rest of the match with that first yellow for Clarke which was ridiculously soft. | | | |

Looks like this will be an unpopular opinion, but I thought overall the ref was decent. The free kick against Ladapo was obviously a howler but refs make the odd mistake at all levels, the offside was the lino's error rather than the ref.
He was at least consistent, whether you agree with the Clarke booking, and I thinj he got that right, he also booked their player for a similar challenge not long after.
We['ve had much worse, we had much worse in the Championship. Keith Stroud anyone? |  |

Half time subs don't interrupt the match.
The better question is why does the match have to stop for subs at all? Why not, have them happen while the match continues but the player must leave the pitch before the substitute can come on? It would eliminate a lot of time-wasting and keep the game flowing a lot more. It would enable rolling subs too should it be desirable. Other team sports do not stop the match to make the changes how football does. |  |

Other sports that you refer to don’t have such a large pitch/court or 11 players per team, you also have penalties in such sports as ice hockey for too many men on the area of play at the same time so it would never work as the officials would never be able to keep up or keep track | |
