Wrexham v Notts County - Scott Tallis
« on: Mon 10 Apr 2023 17:20 »
The promotion decider in the National League served up an absolutely belting game with a dramatic finish, Wrexham holding on by 3-2.

I thought Scott Tallis had an excellent game in a powder keg atmosphere. He sanctioned appropriately, called the big decisions correctly and was always in control. Great spot for the Notts County penalty at the end, the penalty being saved to the delight of the home crowd. There were some debatable offside calls by the assistants, but Mr. Tallis can hardly be blamed for those.

Now a word to the wise…..don’t take too much notice of football pundits. Adam Virgo on BT Sport said the referee never had control and got very little right……I did wonder the game he was watching and the game I was watching were one and the same thing. I just wish the pundits deal with facts and not telling us what we should be seeing. That’s the only gripe of what was a fantastic advert for non league football.

Very fair description of the game. I thought given the circumstances he had a very good game. I did feel his Assistants didn’t quite match his performance with more than one questionable offside decision. Good game to watch especially the second half. Thought a draw would probably been fair but County missed that chance with Foster’s penalty save

I don't think you'll get a more difficult game than that play off finals aside. There was so much riding on it. I thought his decision for the penalty at the end was a good indicator of his performance, calm, assured and gave himself time to think. No referee is truly going to be able to 'control' a game like that. Well done Scott.

This was always going to be a tough game to referee and whilst there were plenty of positives (e.g. fitness, positioning, sanctions), I think there were some issues / points for consideration:

Penalty not awarded to Wrexham for a push by the NC4 on W10. I think this was clear.

Question mark over the first Wrexham goal and a possible foul on the defender (although on balance I think it was probably correct to award the goal - there was nothing conclusive to show a foul)

I am not sure who has seen the handball and have a feeling there might have been input from one of the other officials to get the decision correct. You can see the referee moving backwards away from the penalty area after the incident / as the ball starts to break which wouldn’t be the natural movement if the handball had been seen. That said, the most important thing of course is that the officiating team have got the decision correct.

As mentioned by others, some debatable offside decisions from the ARs.

Overall, I think the team will be pleased that the focus of discussion after the match is on what a great game of football it was and not on them.

Adam Virgo is stealing a living as a commentator/pundit in my opinion.

He speaks absolute drivel and is just awful to listen to.

As such I would say his comments probably reinforce that the referee had a decent afternoon!

 Can we expect this referee to be on National List for 2023/24 ?

Would like to think the appointments people would have picked their best man for this particular match, wouldn't you ?

Didn’t see the full game but one thing I observed that he went back a lot so didn’t make a lot of quick movements towards the penalty area so always looked far from an incident

In fairness, although, being at my team's fixture, I didn't see this one this has generally been a pretty poor year for NL Referee performances.
When I've seen him live Mr Tallis has been one of the better ones but there's been some absolutely appalling performances from some others.
I believe that some of last season's 2Bs may have been promoted a tad early to fill spaces left by a few years of excellent performers being promoted to the National List.

Couldn't agree more. Having watched fairly regular National League matches for two seasons now, the gap between the best and the worst is absolutely immense. Many are encountering full-time professional football for the first time and seem ill-prepared for it.
