Darren Drysdale (Referee)

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Surprised it’s not already a thread but has anyone seen it? Squared up to a player last night.

 

[dennison11]

Notice how the player ****s himself and all is calm. Maybe if more refs did this we wouldn't have half the crap that goes on

 

[WolfLing]

All for more of this. Obviously not a referee actually assaulting a player, but more Collina style aggression to shut down wee gob****es like Judge.

 

[Deleted member 11332]

Seen loads of players do it the other way. When Collina did it years ago people loved it. Fair play to him.

 

[CodsallWolf]

Amazing that he has two right ears.

Collina was a great referee

Ain't messing with him!

Collina was a great referee

Everton fans might disagree (also lol at Marcus Bent playing Champions League football)

 

[WickedWolfie]

It probably shouldn't have happened but l can imagine that gobby little gits get very irritating....

 

[WS10Wolf]

Given the abuse referees get from players, no issue with him sticking up for himself, within reason.

The most worrying thing I read in this mornings report is that Paul Lambert spoke to “EFL Head of Referees, Mike Jones”. If that’s the same Mike Jones I think it is, no wonder the standard is appalling.

It undoubtedly is, but appointed by Mike "Useless ****" Riley so what do you expect?

 

[Autistic Kangaroo]

That would have been a quick and easy way to deal with Craig Bellamy

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Must be hard for referees. Players cheat at every opportunity, dives, fouls, exaggerating contact. They even argue the toss over every throw in that they know perfectly well has been correctly given. On top of that, players are continually chirping in their ears, swearing at them and giving them general abuse. I'm surprised one of them hasn't snapped sooner. Wouldn't encourage it but it would be understandable.

Everton fans don't think so, he made a bad error in a cl qual that went against them.

I agree though he was in the main superb.

Would be funny to see a ref punch someone like Deli Alli or Grealish in the noggin for trying to dive. Diving is essentially trying to fool the refs.

Was listening to a podcast about him with Italian journalists. They were saying that his greatness is a bit of a myth only believed by foreign fans. Apparently in Italian league games he was a decent ref but often dropped clangers, got decisions wrong and was a bit full of himself. However, he had some great performances in European games and World Cup games so foreign fans have only ever seen him in a good light.

 

[mcwolf]

Lol. Fair play to him. Refs should be issued with a truncheon , instead of a yellow card a smack up the ear hole for diving. Grealish would be black and blue

 

[dgm6769]

Thought refs had microphones if not should be, there's a video on YouTube of players calling the ref and their wifes some right disgusting names, sure messi is on it .

It is

Ear ear

 

[tamwolf]

Surprised it hasn't happened sooner. Football is the only sport where players get away with constantly abusing the match officials.

 

[WickedWolfie]

The ref has apologised.. what a surprise... While he arguably should have had more control of his emotions it annoys me that the little **** player gets away with it. Perhaps refs should use yellow cards earlier in future....

Referee issues apology after squaring up to Ipswich player Alan Judge

Referee Darren Drysdale has apologised after locking heads with Ipswich midfielder Alan Judge during their match with Northampton on Tuesday night.

Poor photo shop job.

He does look one mean SOB though (even with the normal compliment of ears)

 

[Boss Hogg]

Another chance to post this video of what I would love to think is Jonzy in his refereeing days

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

reminds me of something read years ago, may have to google it now, about a match being abandoned as the ref squared up to a player and then sent himself off for doing so.

Still doing it mate .I might be many things but I ain’t camp

The players reaction says it all.

I remember a few years back there was a Referee on the circuit who was beyond eccentric.He assisted me on numerous occasions and having hands like JCB buckets when he shook my hand and that of players he nearly broke your fingers .
The CEO of Staffordshire FA was a personal friend and he told me that the guy was Refereeing a Sunday League game in Stoke between two decent teams .He awarded a penalty -there were no complaints but the recipient team said it wasn’t a penalty so they didn’t want it .There was then a standoff before he eventually placed the ball on the spot ,took it himself and scored .Both teams just walked and the game was abandoned.
I remember seeing the article in the Stoke Sentinel.He landed in a load of trouble and in the days when all Referees were Class 1/2/3 unlike what we have today he was downgraded to Class 2.
100% true -he was a clown.

 

[Shergar]

Now that he‘s got form for it, it’ll be interesting to see if any other little gob****e wants to try it on with him. Hopefully they will think twice.

It’s hard enough for most players to think once.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Referees cannot act like that whatever the provocation. While it is about time a referee stood up to these players, putting his head in the players face will I think have serious consequences for Drysdale. I would not be surprised if he received a ban.

I agree but in fairness we have seen it from one angle and players say horrendous things every flaming game

I like this idea... perhaps an electric chair by the side of the pitch as well...

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Really ****ed me off that he has apologised. Best thing I have seen a ref do for years.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Like yourself, I have been a referee for many years, and we all know we cannot lower our standards. A referee cannot act in that manner.

And Drysdale has now been charged with improper behaviour, a charge that if proven could have serious ramifications for Darren Drysdale.

 

[WickedWolfie]

You say that almost like you think that there is something wrong with being camp.... Likely to get you into hot water in the western world in the 21st century....
