Title: The Charles Breakspeare Impersonator - Peterborough v Oxford
Post by: Skydank on Sat 08 Dec 2018 20:23
Somebody was obviously impersonating the referee with one of the most red cards at a wet and wild London Road

The real Mr Breakspeare would have obviously sent off Oxfords Mackie for two flying elbows and general foul play, another Oxford player for a nasty studs up lunge, and Poshs Woodyard for persistent foul play

But most of all this impostor would not have had an appalling inconsistent approach to physical contact which upset both sets of fans and benches alike.

He did get the decision to award a penalty to Oxford correct, but can we have the referee who is normally one of the more dependable about, back please?

To clinch whether or not it was the real Charlie, did his measurements for defensive walls vary wildly between 6 yards and 12 yards ?

On reflection, I should have said the right Charlie.

Good point he marked 10 yards with a mixture of pigeon steps and John Cleese a number of times....forgot to mention he obviously was worried about being spotted as played 4 minutes additional time when nearer 10 would have done
