Luton – Poor Decisions, Wider Implications
Returning to Tuesday, and the Championship game against Rotherham United, it is time for our last say on the most controversial incident of the game.
In an article yesterday (Wednesday) – were-luton-town-robbed – we wanted your opinion on whether the late, late goal scored by Sonny Bradley, should have stood.
In his after-match interview, covered in our referenced article, Nathan Jones was clearly disappointed that the officials were so quick to rule it out.
The incident provided us, here at Vital Luton, with the perfect opportunity to use our poll facility to gauge your opinion on the incident, simply asking:
Should Bradley’s Late Goal Against Rotherham Have Stood?
The response was incredibly one-sided with 97% voting for the YES option with only 3% voting for the NO option.
Our poll almost drew a comment from a regular visitor to Vital Luton, AlanR who, in a comment he left, scribed:
“The standard of officiating gets worse every season. So much so that I am close to turning my back on the game for that reason. Just go back over the season and count up all the dodgy decisions – both for and against- there have been in our games.”
Which leads us onto an entirely different subject which will be covered, later, in a separate article.
But my biggest gripe is how that one incident could affect the outcome of the season.
Rotherham are fighting for their Championship future, the point they earned, after the poor decision, could impact upon who goes down and who stays up, such is the fine line our officials are treading,
The Premier League has the much-derided VAR, which makes me ponder whether the second-tier of English football should look at adopting something similar.
Your views on the subject matter would be most appreciated.
