"I've got a lot of respect for the manager, the club, their fantastic team, but it's really frustrating. There have been legitimate goals for Mansfield and Notts County (ruled out), so I don't know if it's the momentum the club bring, if it's unconsciously playing on their minds. But I'm taken aback..."

"...I've never seen anything like it. Everybody in the stadium knew it was a clear goal. The reaction of their players was to just turn around, they all thought it was a goal. Everyone did apart from the officials."


Do we think these are critical enough for a touchline ban/fine?

A fine perhaps, but surely not a touch line ban

I mean he could have ran up to the ref and squared up to him. Answering a question he has been asked by a journalist is going to get him into trouble then that is pathetic.

The use of the word unconsciously covers him.

Pleased he said it to be fair. Teams playing Wrexham have had some ridiculous decisions giving against them this month. Hopefully it’ll even itself out, but I doubt it will.

They’ve ended up securing 4 points this week, when they should have only had 1. The officials have definitely aided their promotion push, wherever that is intended or not.

Probably a fine as he suggests match fixing and that'll upset the PGMOL and EFL so much

I can't see that it's a fine as no way is he implyng match fixing and it is a legitimate question. I did wonder though, when the Ref turned up with his Hollywood agent.

At what point does he ever suggest match fixing?

It's clear the comments are suggesting decisions are made in favour of Wrexham - match fixing wrong word - favouritism is what I meant

He implied that Wrexham recently had valid goals disallowed against them - it wasn't especially subtle! Like saying sorry not sorry.

The EFL will be all over fining him for it
