How come, after the lino injury during the Newport game when the stadium announcer requested that anyone who had referee qualifications make themselves known to a steward, didn't out superfan super ref make his way over?

Why was there only 5 minutes of extra time in the first half when it took an age to get a Lino sorted but 7 minutes second half???????

There wasn't, it was 9 minutes, stupid Sky and their commentator got it wrong.

Thanks fair enough

My highlight of the evening was late in the second half a free kick was given against Orient and Wellens started verbally hammering the 4th official, presumably unaware/forgetting that it was a Os fan who had volunteered to do it

He was away

Bet he is absolutely raging.

He was giving Ian Evatt a ‘ piece of his mind ‘ on Saturday
