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

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

Giving up his time? What else does he do?

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

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.

Just because someone has a flash car, doesn't mean they have loads of money, with the various finance/leasehold agreements out there.

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?

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.

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.
