John Busby, anyone go to the basingstoke away game? was same ref. He was shocking last night allowed us to get kicked to pieces and never booked their players. We didnt even get free kicks for many of the challenges. one was bordering on assault on Sam Hurrell. Then he books Clarkey!
At times like this you have to question what on earth he is doing refereeing at this level. Was it just coincidence that every decision seemed to go their way and fouls went unpunished?

The assault on Sam Hurrell was right in front of the linesman. What was he playing at in not waving his flag like a lunatic? They expect to be called assistant referees but they only look at defensive lines and touchlines.
Mark i was by the lino by our dugout in first half and he never flagged for a foul at all, worryingly he let yaku go offside 4 or 5 times and never flagged once. I have a strong feeling that Busby is one of those refs that tells his Ass Refs that they are only to flag for offside, corners and throw ins. The Ass Refs simply cannot have missed some of those fouls/assaults.
Im getting worried that Refs are scared of Barwick's association to Hampton as we seemed to get very home team biased refs there, and bearing in mind these are terrible fouls and two footed tackles it could lead to a player being badly injured if refs let them get away with it.
More on last years fiasco with the stand too... If this is a fixed stand i am Geoff Boycott. They truly are a vile club and do what they like.
I bet if hampton videod it the fouls wont be in the highlights. I am going to see if they do a match dvd.

You're correct in saying the stand in the photo is not a permanent structure but you're wrong in assuming that it's the stand involved in last season's ground-grading for the BSP. That was going to be a permanent structure behind the far goal but it didn't have to be built in the end. As for the comments about Brian Barwick, I doubt if a ref at this level is even aware of who a club's directors are and, in any case, he only joined the board this season so your theory doesn't work for any earlier disgruntlement you seem to imply.
Barwick was definitely there last year when the grading stuff was going on wether he was a director then i have no idea.
And THAT stand is the only "temp stand" there so it isnt the concrete stands that have been there years is it? I am pretty certain that that "temp" stand is what belatedly satisfies the seat quota.
Lets be fair, you were short on seats and if that stand isnt needed, Quite simply it wouldnt be there. No way is that stand not temp.

Our ground isn't exactly great, but Hampton's is a joke. It doesn't meet BSS criteria in my opinion, and having some temporary seats there in a temporary stand, that are sectioned off anyhow, is totally pointless.
I am seething that people were drinking on the terraces, it should have been me. I made do with a Cold Burger and Cup of froth pretending to be coffee.

I sort of agree, burger and a hot chocolate from a fiver ?? got 50p change. Queried it as I thought it couldnt be right, got another 50p back, so 1pound change. Turns out burger, meat and bread, no more, £3 !!!! and a hot chocolate for the missus was a £1 !! outrageous. Shame on you H&R !!!
This was not the one that left him on the ground - that was another one nearer the half way line. What about the elbow off the ball but in front of the linesman.
I think the very fact that we are all of different opinion and confusing the "tackles" just goes to prove that there were so many questionable incidents. It really was a very one-sided performance from the homer.

Making it three years in a row. Do you remember Mr Phipps sending Chris Moore off for handball when the ball was hit at him?
The one nr the halfway line was the assault the other ones were just cynical fouls going for limbs rather than the ball. There were 2 just outside the box in the space of 3 minutes. It was nice to see Parky and Daisy talking to the ref without getting abusive. Sadly it never helped as the ref just continued not to see very bad fouls. Not miss one or two. If there was a video, the foul highlights would be X Rated.
Mark is on the money we have had Referees that have given us nothing 3 straight years at Hampton but Tuesday night was terrible. Im proud of our players for not starting a brawl when the ref appeared to allow them to kick us all over the park.
