Agree we had the chances to win it. Having said that we shouldn't have to play the officials every home game. The three of them were appalling today, the two decisions at the end summed it up for me, and we only played about 3 and a half minutes added time. I am getting to the point where I wonder if it's worth going to games when the officials have such a massive influence on the game. The best officials shouldn't even be noticed

There are 3 Pakistani cricketers in court for less than the officials today. Motives have got to be called into question.

In all fairness which ever league teams play in, from pub league to premiership, on fixtures that hold an important outcome officials of higher order should officiate. Today officials were an complete embarresment to football , and once the FA see how the 'goal that never was' im sure they will be officiating non league lower games for the forseeable future.

I knew it was nowhere near at the time.
I had no idea just how nowhere near it was!
Darn fine save from Smith too...

Awful officiating, I still can't believe that was given as a goal.
We definitely should have scored in the last half hour though.

When smith saved it, i thought it was a great save, and it didnt even cross my mind that anyone might think that their might be a chance that it might maybe be a goal. None of the wycombe players or fans celebrated. ridiculous.

I'm normally not that worked up about these things but I'm quite angry at this. something has got to be done, Football officials over recent years have been made to look like laughing stock with some very very bad decisions, (England 'no goal' anyone?) even if they don't want to put in goal line technology, something needs to be done. I don't go to watch very often but when I do I want to watch the teams fairly play against each other, not the officials mess things up.

I worked out today that I had been watching the Town for 38 years I think (Aldershot 0-0 was my first game).
I've seen s**t officiating in that time.
Some really s**t officiating
No, some really, really s**t officiating
But today, even on the scale of really, really s**t officiating this was (by some way) some really s**t officiating. The worst i'd ever seen. A once in a lifetime example of s**t officiatingdom. s**tter than s**t.
You young ones who witnessed today the most appalling example of officiating on an English football pitch, no British, no European, no Worldwide....No, Galactic...... are truely priviliged to say 'I was there'.
Forget Kennedys assasination, 9/11 or the day man set foot on the moon, you were witness to the most amazing piece of history ever, s**t officiating at its most s**tness.

Heard many a town fan saying that was the worst officiating performance they've ever seen. I have to agree.

Collectively the decsions made by the three officials were that bad it does make you think that were not neutral and for me that is quit worrying.
If we miss out on auto promotion by 1 or 2 points, especially to Wycome, I'll even more angry than I am now.

i did think it was rather amusing that about 100 wycombe fans were doing the 'we are not worthy' to the lino after the goal
its a shame that when the lino knows hes made a mistake during the 2nd half there is no way he can make ammends

I did not stick about after the game did anyone players or GT confront the ref or the lino?
I can see why people like fergie and wenger and others have a go at the ref and lino.I bet GT would of done the same yesterday,until something major happens to our team we dont see what its like.

If he can't do his job properly he should be sacked. If he's running the line next week there's something seriously wrong.

You sometimes get the feeling that the FA are against us, silly I know. Yes we have been poor in some matches such as Torquay but with what happened at Vale and yesterday coupled with the fact we have only have had one penalty all season you do sometimes wonder.

Surely it is now time that just like everybody involved in the game, officials must be held accountable for their actions?
Players, managers, club officials, and through the club, even supporters are held accountable and often face sanctions imposed by the FA, yet officials get off pretty much scot-free.
I want to hear Mr Linington and his comedy sidekicks front up and explain their performance yesterday. But we all know that will never happen.
Nearly 24 hours on and I'm still incandescent with rage over yesterday's farcical display, and it will take alot of convincingfor me to believe the integrity of the match officials.

At the end of the match, I shouted to one of the Wycombe players, "are you giving the ref a lift home?" He laughed and said "yes!".

Have you seen this thread blueandamber.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=71998Not sure, in fact pretty certain it will have no effect on things but my make you feel better scoring yesterdays referee. I have tried seven hours (and counting) of the hardest, loudest rock music I have in my collection today. Still feel totally p**sed off.

It's in black and white it was a shocking decision and as a club we could demand he never officiates a Shrewsbury match again. That decision was so bad he really shouldn't be allowed another chance to officiate another league game. I shall follow his progress.

This is no understatement .
That was the worst officiating I have ever, ever , ever , witnessed in person or watched on television or have heard of , in the lifetime of my watching football !!
It was DISGRACEFUL ! It was ABYSMAL ! It was INCOMPETENCE of the highest ever order !
or
Even worse it was TOTAL PREJUDICE !!
I am angry , seething with contempt upon those officials .
If ever they set foot on our pitch again ..........................

The body of work from the entire officiating crew does leave nasty taste in the mouth when you look at the key goalscoring decisions given against us. (to blanance, yes Sharps lost it and could have seen red, similarly Davis) A goal line decision, made by an official WITH NO CLEAR view of the ball as Smiths body was between the ball and lino is just an officials fabrication or make believe. It was pure bloody guesswork to give it, did their players claim it and pressurise the official into making the decision? Similarly the consistent fouling by the two centre halves on Harrold & Collins unpunished throughout. Cheated. No doubt.

Say the ball had just crept over the line before Smith flicked it back and the linesman didn't give the goal.
You'd probably have Gary Waddock lambasting the official for being in a poor position and calling for goal line technology. However, the general reaction would have been that because the ball was at ground level and Smith's body would have obscured the linesman's view then the he was right to give the benefit of a considerable doubt to the defending team. The decision might have been wrong, but there were clear mitigating reasons why that wrong decision was taken.
The reality is that in giving the goal linesman is implicitly stating that he had no doubt that the ball gone over the line. The recorded evidence shows he 'definitely' saw something that never happened. There were no mitigating circumstances because his position, the ball's position and position of the intervening players would only have served to to obscure his view.
He gave a decision on what he thought had happened rather than what he actually saw. That is unacceptable at this level and the linesman should be suspended from the list for the rest of the season.
