i will name myself as 1 on sunday against dme, i wasnt running the line but i caught the dme linesman bang to rights cheating, so i decided to run the line 2nd half and gave them a taste of what its like

I hope i get to Ref your team this season then you can just spend the game signalling for throw ins,nothing else and if you cant manage to do that honestly then you will just hold the flag,quiet simple really

then dont bother reffing us, i cheated after being cheated that is a FACT, for it to be spun in any other way is out of order, also the fact is riley was off side regular during the 2nd half but he seems to think he was onside everytime, i made maybe 2 mistakes and on 1 of them riley was offside and tim glenn wasnt but riley and glenn were both running for the ball which was heading to the corner flag, riley stopped and tim glenn chased it but the ref blew so it happened, wasnt my fault riley decided to chase it

i shouldnt have to justify myself anyway as we never moan about dodgy linesman as virtually all clubs favour their own team, dme cheated 1st, so pot kettle black springs to mind, there was no cheating from our linesman in the 1st half but there was from theirs, so as soon as they get a taste of their own medicine, they come on here complaining about it, well i aint being funny but that is a fooking joke

You openly admitted to cheating so if i Ref your team and you was the linesman i couldnt trust you to be honest so it would just be throw ins for you,i enjoy Reffing teams with cheat linesmen because it is so funny to watch them on the sidelines getting annoyed because i wont allow them to influence the game unfairly

you talk like a ninny, you couldnt ref a fight between tweety pie and sylvester

that maybe, but one thing is certain you will not be allowed to cheat if i'm ever lucky enough to reach my career goal and ref an alliance league division 3 game!!!!

This page all seems very negative to me slating people... I just want to say we played against Magna in Division 3 on Sunday, and due to a golf tournament which half my players were in we had 11 men (therefore no linesman). Anyway one of the spectators from Magna took it upon himself to run the line for our defensive line- no cheating what-so-ever. Called it exactly the way it was every time!

Hats off to the guy for being honest and allowing the game to be played in the spirit that it should.

But on the other hand have come across cheating lino's a few too many times, and it's like Saff Lounge said how he "cheated because he was cheated first" it's just a vicious cycle.

Cheers mate, appreciate the comments. The bloke is one of the dads. He is probabnaly harsher on his own team rather than the opposiiton!!! Well played to you boys sunday...impressive side and if you can get a consistant 11 out you will win more than you lose no doubt!! look forward to the return leg

I'm a Ref who regularly gets a card out for it, what players and managers sometimes forget
is that club linesmen are very often players who dont have an idea how to run the line properly and are just poor at it,this doesn't make them cheats,As a Ref you have to make a judgement on this and this is what i do and if players decide that they disagree with my judgement on this and congratulate the club linesman on their flagging i reward them with a card

I'm sorry but if someone who gets up on a Sunday morning to play football doesn't know the offside rule they should be made to bring there missus down to run the line. It seems ridiculous that this would be the case (maybe with literally 1 or 2 exceptions).

i agree and its hard to decide whether a linesman is cheating or needs pointing in the right direction,,i have overruled them and even asked them to stand down and let someone else takes over,,,,,,,but still doesnt give anyone the right to show no respect for them,,,,and it only makes our job harder if we get someone who decides to run the line and openly cheat to get their own back,,i once got both captains together and said,,both your linesman are cheating and they are only ruining the game for you as i can just keep blowing every time flag goes up,,,told them it might be good to take a minute and have a word,,,,,sort of worked

Seems like a very reasonable decision MIB!!

Credit where credit is due matey. My Dad is exactly the same, but nice to know there are other teams with a similar mentality to us ie. just want to play football on a Sunday and enjoy the game.

Hopefully we can hold our own. It's early doors yet so we can only wait and see.

Likewise, looking forward to a good game of football against challenging but fair opposition!

We always try and do it honestly at Wigston, as we know that what goes around comes around, if we start cheating the opposition will, but then again we have the pace to stay onside most of the time. One of our lads puts a little too much into it. As NRI will be able to confirm, he stormed off against them when he thought his decision had been ignored and Jay Heighton scored a cracking header.

How do you know if the opposition is cheating if you are running the line in the other half of the pitch?

Some people just cannot accept that their player is offside and therefore the opposition must be 'cheating'. Rose-tinted glasses or pure delusion, either way it happens most weeks and you see it at all levels of football. If those people are then running the line, problems occur.

They all know who they are, if they say they dont do it, they are even bigger ####kers than we already know, if you have to cheat to get your sad team a decision and think that no one else has noticed, then i suggest you get some players that can play a good game, and ditch the ##@t with the flag thats making your team look poor.................

GO ON MY SON!!! hahaha

Cheating 'eck!

lol

Unless you are standing right in line/behind the lino you cannot say with any certainty that someone is onside or offside.

Very often you loudest mouths to dispute offsides are keeper and centre halves, probably the worst placed to comment!!!!

What needs to be understood by all is that running the line isn't easy and is made even more difficult by having a player do it who probably doesn't want the job in the first place

exactly the point, i was bang in line with their linesman in the 1st half and our player was clearly 5 yards on when he ran through, it was so blatant it was unbelievable, none of my decisions in the 2nd half were as blatant as the 1 against us in the 1st half, even their supporters were laughing at how blatant it was but then you have strawberry blonde (ginger really) coming on here calling me a cheat and their linesman just made a mistake, well i might be stupid but if he put the flag up for that how many other dubious decisions did he make, now i admit what i did was wrong and i shouldnt have done it but in my defence i only did it after i caught the opposition at it bang to rights

I forgive you. You sound like you're sorry and won't do it again. I think you've pretty much guaranteed that you're not going to get an offside decision off of a referee all season anyway because you blatantly admitted to cheating.

Are you the same bloke that called our linesman a "cheating ginger c**t", at your place last year, despite the fact you were 50 yards away down the same touchline?

He seemed like a reasonable, unbiased chap.

The fact that the lad wasn't ginger is besides the point.

Yes thanks - a good answer

I regularly used to go to Hillsborough with an ex-Alliance secretary whose eyesight was so good that he could spot an offside from the Cop at the other end of the pitch. Thankfully he did not have a flag.
