Accy Stanley - only one lineman
Accy Stanley - only one lineman
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....aggi wrote: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.
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.

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
According to r/lancs, there was a qualified official who could have sufficed, but he was connected to Stanley, so Crewe rejected him.Paul Waine wrote:

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
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?ElectroClaret wrote:According to r/lancs, there was a qualified official who could have sufficed, but he was connected to Stanley, so Crewe rejected him.

They are on the Crewe half

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
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.

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

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
Surely they should have none or cancel it. One isnt right.
Could the 4th official not have done it?

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
Not sure of the exact details, but at least TWO officials were injured.
Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
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

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
I also presumed they were waiting for someone from Burnley to get there
Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
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!ElectroClaret wrote:According to r/lancs, there was a qualified official who could have sufficed, but he was connected to Stanley, so Crewe rejected him.

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

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
It’s probably unprecedented for two officials to get injured but what happened here is a farce.

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
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?
Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
Surely this game shouldve been abandoned.

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
How did they ever manage to finish the game with only two officials ---it takes 7 in the Premier League!

Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
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.
Re: Accy Stanley - only one lineman
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.Croydon Claret wrote:Any reason why one linesman can't cross the halfway line and officiate both halves?
