Wouldn't ending a game with 40 seconds remaining be wrong in law, though ?

Just for Celtic, though

If he did end it immediately after the 3rd goal went in, he shouldn't have done. There was still time to be played. I think he bottled it. Totally understandable, mind. He must have been petrified, along with the AR's and players

Fair point. But they can't allow supporters to control the ending of games. It'll cause mayhem. I suppose if any Hearts player had refused to go back out because they had previously been attacked, then that's a different matter. I think you're looking at a match abandonment - which is the only...

I think the officials should have taken the players off and restarted the game once ALL the fans were safely back in the stands and the security had gained control. An announcement could have been made that the game will not end until this happens. That would have allowed the security time to...

I thought that's what it would be brought in for, anyway. Just really clear and obvious things. And possibly off the ball incidents that the refs haven't seen. It's totally taken the enjoyment out of scoring a goal...when you have to wait 6 mins for them to review it, then possible disallow

Red for me. As you say, if you don't give red's for those then all you're doing is encouraging players to act injured. And yes, they've just made it that much harder for those of us at grassroots

There's a lesson to be learned about leaving a game early

Oh yes

Nope. I just know a lot of hammers fans. and they're always moaning about decisions going against them

Who's UR ? I don't support either team

I guarantee if those decisions were given against the hammers, social media would be flooded with comments

High foot for West Ham's second ?

11 mins additional time ?

That's how I got into it. Just wanted to give something back. Well done, mate. Keep it going

Did you find it "challenging" being the Club Referee ? ie accusations of bias, or accusations of being too lenient on your own club ?

The other one, is going down with a pretend head injury just to stop the game 🤦‍♂️
