I think it’s up to referees at this level to decide how much their linesmen contribute. Ref never consulted the linesman (right hand side as we attacked) in the whole of the first half. Linesman flagged for ball out of play and offside but never signalled once for a foul. This was despite him being 2 yards from Whitehall when rhe booking incident occurred – which was not a foul by either player by the way.
The first time in over 60 years of playing and watching football I have been convinced a referee had an agenda rather than just been incompetent.
Good to see the Spennymoor goalie and interviewer having a good laugh about it.
