Tylluan Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/crewe-notts-county-linesmen-fans-31419326#google_vignette Notts County's game with Crewe finished 15 mins late due to the lino refusing to carry on after getting a load of verbal abuse from County fans. The incident happened after a last minute penalty was awarded to Crewe. What makes it worse is the opposite Lino refused to swap sides.

Skamp Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 And, true to form, one manager didn't see the incident but the other thought it was nailed on, all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto_Man Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Why should the lino on the opposite side swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 2 hours ago, Otto_Man said: Why should the lino on the opposite side swap? There's a hierarchy of linos. I forget which side the more senior one stands on but he was the one who used to take over if the ref got injured before it changed to be the 4th official (which happened in this game) The ref can call upon the more senior lino to switch sides in exceptional circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 What the hell. I know we can all call the officials out from time to time, but if it went beyond that. Which it seems. Then… They’re pillocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
