Challinor saying BOTH our goals were offside. Sounds like this is what he was having a go at the ref about at half time (as Pete Wild alluded to). So no surprise then that the ref felt pressure to disallow our 3rd?

The highlights will be interesting

Spences shot takes a deflection surely then this makes Whitfield onside as it was a deliberate attempt to stop the ball!

One earlier comment on this thread was that the ref had been told by the fourth official that there was a man down. Even so, if he had not blown the whistle before the ball went in, surely he can't disallow it? Likewise, if there was a foul in the box, why had he not blown for it (or perhaps he did and we didn't hear it)? Or did he just decide there was a foul because he saw a man on the floor?

Anyway, Mr Coy's performance was really poor for both sides. Whitfield's goal was offside I think (blame the assistant at that end) but the second one wasn't. Fouls were given on both sides for nothing, then more obvious fouls were not given (classic bit on the highhlights where Whitfield gets 'handed off' in the face, then the ball goes forward and our defender gets fouled twice but Coy just plays on and Farman has to save a shot.

I suppose the sad fact is that any good refs get promoted and end up in Championship or Premiership (Rebecca Welch looked very good when she reffed one of our cup games a couple of years ago), but the poor ones are left to the unfortunate clubs in EFL2 and 1.

....Their man Maddox should have been sent off for slapping our player right in front of 4th official who reported to ref who only gave yellow card.....

On the disallowed goal, the ref blew before Ray(?) struck it. Still should’ve been allowed to play on as it was clear the ref or linesman saw no foul - either he was convinced it was a head injury or the fourth official somehow saw something from the half-way line.

It’s offside
