I remember the '38 Cup Final. It was my 21st birthday and they showed it down the Pub on Sky.
Got into a row 2 years later (coming back from Dunkirk) when I said PNE's goal looked a  shade offside.

[Lord Snooty]

Make no wonder you got in a row. It wasn't offside. It was a penalty in the last minute of extra time. But was it a foul and was it outside the area?
The man operating the VAR machine had gone on his tea break.

A village somewhere has lost its idiot. He's turned up in Preston dressed as a ref.

[Lord Snooty]

Not a very good first half. Needs some Cowley magic at halftime.

[Lord Snooty]

It'll be another 50 years before we win there

I know we've had a stinker but it sounds like the ref has had an absolute mare.
He's even admitted to Danny Cowley afterwards that he got some decisions wrong.
So say he doesn't give the free kick from where they score the first. Then he sends the lad off for the nasty foul on Elphick. We're now 0-0 and playing 70 minutes against 10 men.
Decisions, decisions!

[theo_luddite]

We played 90 minutes against 12, 13, 14 and after the game he admits he's a clown with a whistle.

I wouldn't let him ref the U8's wherever he lives tomorrow morning.

Might have helped if you had had more than one shot on target

[theo_luddite]

We've had a stinker Snoots because every time we've won a 50:50 ball the clown has given them a free kick. He's given them two free kicks that led to goals and a penalty for handball at the other end that I need to see the replay for but it wasn't as if Kongolo dived to stop the ball. It hit him from a couple of yards away. It's hard to build any momentum when you can't challenge the home side for a ball. Hell at one point he actually gave Town a free kick for a challenge off the ball he clearly hadn't seen. He was asking Preston players who did it.

Difficult to have shots when the ref stops you every time you win the ball maclad. Hell he even pulled us back when he could have given us the advantage. I'll admit our defense was poor for your 2nd but that came from one of his mystery decisions back at the halfway line.

[Lord Snooty]

First goalscorer is offside when the free kick is taken. Not that it matters, just saying.
