TOPIC: FA Youth Cup - Steve Pattinson is Linesman!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He's made more correct decisions in 5mins than in his term as custodian

He'll be loving it...

Have the crowd struck up a few lines of "You Don't Know What You're Doing" yet?

Fair play to him for giving up his time and being willing to do it.

We know what happened last time he left his phone 'unattended'

Giving up his time? What else does he do?

(Making an absolute mess of running somebody else's business doesn't count).

He has just awarded a penalty to Carlisle and scored by Karl Taylor

Cheating [censored]!

Is he doing it for free?

Just ruled a goal offside for Doncaster

@joncolman: Good heavens - Donny head home three minutes from time, and Pattison's flag is up for offside! The visitors are fuming.

@james7phillips: OFFSIDE! @officialcufc director & stand-in linesman @StevenPattison_ flags to rule out a late @drfc_official equaliser #awkward

Haha

Is this even allowed? A director of the home club officiating/assisting in an FA match? Expect a fine, expulsion from the competion, etc

Haha controversy follows him like the rain cloud over eeyore

Christ almighty.

Hahaha, i can picture the scene he does it every Sunday morning without fail, what a crank.

Wonderful, wonderful stuff.

Teensy-weensy little problemette is that the Donny chap was about a yard and a half onside, apparently...

Fantastic this is the biggest contradiction of interest since the Virgin guy and Winder! Idiot will sham us again!

The goal scorer was onside but the flag was already up. Doncaster had thrown everyone forward so the box was crowded. At least Pattinson was up with play at the time.

Saw him coming out of BP the other day with his personalised plates Audi Q7.
Contrary to popular rumour, his pot still seems plentiful!

So that's two clubs whose fans he's pissed off now...

@DRFC_Academy: FULL TIME: It has finished @CUFCACADEMY 1-0 DRFC. A few questions will be asked about that disallowed goal.... #FAYouthCup

CU NT1 ?

I remember him refereeing a match at Borough Park so it must have been a Cumberland Cup game. Needless to say he walked round like a prized cock and was absolutely scandalous.

Is there an actual protocol for such occurrences? As dodgy as it sounds for someone connected with CUFC running the line, surely both teams would have to consent to it happening?

It's on the BBC Football Homepage now...

At least he made a decision.

Mike - agreed, but thought he may be in a Lada the trouble some seem to think he is in.

Looks like a decent crowd in that pic. Wish id gone now

Any truth he told the Doncaster bench that if they didnt like the decision they could F**k off!!!

AUD IQ7. Was that his personalised number?

Now possible personalised plates for SP could be along thread. Better not!

It’s made the London freesheets!

Page 73 in this morning’s Metro has the headline ‘ No owner goal as lino riles Rovers’

But was it actually onside ?

At the time, when the ball was played forward to the player who provided the cross, I looked straight to the linesman because I thought it MIGHT have been offside. I'm not 100% sure though. The club filmed the match so maybe we'll see it eventually.

Wonder if itll take as long the the minutes from the board meeting.

The minutes will probably appear in time for the next board meeting

Fair enough then, there are better things he needs to get stick for rather than calling an offside goal possibly correctly (if not then at least it a tight call and not blatant cheating lol)

I wonder how many on here have actually officiated at a football match? I mean a proper game in an organised league. I reckon anyone playing football should experience it at least once. Not as easy as it looks. I think all professional footballers should do it too.

I did my FA coaching badge way back in 1967-68 and I guess the format and structure has all changed now. However part of the course included a written exam on the laws of the game and refereeing a match. If you didn't come up to scratch on either you failed the course.

Credit to Pattison for doing the job. If he hadn't the game would have had to be abandoned and rearranged. Both clubs had to agree to him doing the job anyway. I'm just surprised that this level of competition that there wasn't a fourth official appointed in the first place. There would be no shortage of local referees ready to step in - smacks of a penny pinching exercise not to pay a fourth official.

Pattison may have many failings but I don't think this is one of them.

Well said 1954. I've kept quiet on this thread, although I've been reading it from time to time. There's no way Pattison would deliberately cheat like that to win the club a game. He really is not that kind of bloke.

Only one person has called him a cheat on this entire thread and I presume that was tongue in cheek as it was after the penalty not the offside decision.
Fair play to him for stepping in to run the line and I don't know if he got the decision right or not but in my opinion he is a poor referee but like on Sunday mornings at least he turns up and tries.

Knew I'd heard about him running the line somewhere before...

Comrade Pattison. Wonder if the Billionaire is Russian or from a former Russian rebublic before anyone gets clever
