Scotty in the clear

[Number 1]

After some clever negotiations from secretary Neil, the Kendal game has been classed as a reserve game so Scotty will miss one reserve game for his sending off, which means he won't miss any first team games.

Good news for Scotty, and a great piece of administration from Neil!!

I suspect Neil's point might have been that we didn't have a Football League ref refereeing it, hence the appalling showing by the man in black, but whatever it was, it means he can be included now.

Great news!!

Very well done Neil M.

I wonder if he'd been a FL referee that we would have been asked to 'replace' Scott?

As for the refs performance overall, a lot of bad tackles on our lads went unpunished and it's things like this that give referees in general such a bad press, which in the main is totally unfair.

However I was under the impression that FL refs had to officiate whenever a FL team was playing irrespective of the opposition.

A case of 'a few bad apples'.....??????
