Accy Stanley - only one lineman

Post by aggi » Sat Nov 09, 2019 5:22 pm

Sounds a bit crazy at Stanley. The ref went off injured, they delayed the second half for an hour and ended up kicking off with a ref and only one linesman. The ref will estimate offsides in the other half.

I've been puzzling over why BBC was still saying half-time....

Is there no one in the crowd who could run the line? I guess my "refereeing starter-kit" wouldn't have cut it - even if I was at the Crown Ground. ;)

According to r/lancs, there was a qualified official who could have sufficed, but he was connected to Stanley, so Crewe rejected him.

So Crewe reject the alternative lino - OK, referee's assistant, if we are all modern. Which half of the field does the one lino cover, the one Crewe are attacking or the one they are defending?

Apparently they flipped a coin to decide.
They are on the Crewe half

Don't know, Paul, but Crewe have just scored another.
Apparently, the goal was scored in the half of the field that doesn't have a lino.

I think...

But, this was penalty, so got to assume the ref was close enough to give it.

Surely they should have none or cancel it. One isnt right.

Could the 4th official not have done it?

Not sure of the exact details, but at least TWO officials were injured.

Given the second half kicked off at 5.10 you'd have thought they may have stuck one of the ones from Burnley in a taxi

I also presumed they were waiting for someone from Burnley to get there

And after Crewe rejected the Accy-connected linesman (related to one of the coaching staff apparently), Crewe produced a qualified linesman of their own - wearing a Crewe shirt and standing in the away end! And guess what - Accrington rejected him! :lol:

They could have gone to Stockport and borrowed a Lineman for the County.

It’s probably unprecedented for two officials to get injured but what happened here is a farce.

Any reason why one linesman can't cross the halfway line and officiate both halves? If the ref can do it then why not the linesman?

Surely this game shouldve been abandoned.

How did they ever manage to finish the game with only two officials ---it takes 7 in the Premier League!

They rang the sub linesman up and told him to get to the ground straightaway but he could not get there in time as he was sitting in sun waiting for another overload.

Becaue the linesman has to be level with the last man to do his job properly. If the ball is played forward to the forward and the linesman is in position to see that Ben Mee is playing him onside, well done. But when Ben Mee instantly wellies the ball forward towards Chris Wood, the linesman would need a fair turn of speed to be in position to judge whether Wood is onside at the moment Mee kicks it.

The linesman wouldn't break sweat...he'd know Wood was offside. :roll:
