Olympic v Stop Out
I remember goin in with 2 feet on Barry at Porirua Park a number of years ago and with the linesman and ref all following the play, he would have had a great opportunity to put a kick in on me but he didnt.
Roy Keane would never have played football again if the FA took the line that this muppet HopperCharris is suggesting.
Barry Lewis Fan Club Anyone? We have the Yellow Fever for the Phoenix so how about the Red Curtain for B.Lewis?
Porirua East has "got yo back son"

If that was to happen and say next week Olympic and Wellington united play and Barry scores the winner for Olympic - I'm sure SO would be over the moon that his suspension had been 'forgotten'. Half the league would know he's been sent of this week, there would be a lot of questions asked if he appeared on the park next week not suspended.
At least the decision is made on the park and in public - where the referee can use his discretion with public scrutiny of both teams and the public, as opposed to 'in private' discretion of not submitting a report.
The avenue you propose leads to all sorts of trouble of allegations of bias and potential to 'influence' the referee.
A favourite mantra of many managers (and players) is 'What happens on the park stays on the park' - to ensure we can all come together for a pint without grief after the game - it should be the same for referees disciplinary decisions.
Fastest cards in the game.
You have to wonder if he practised, I've never seen any other ref get a card from a pocket and in the air in such quick time. He must be a great keeper...

I happen to know that he did practice. I was one of his linesmen during one game and I'm sure he had the card in the air before he'd finished blowing for the foul.
Barry Lewis out for 3 weeks thanks to some retared referring.
You sure it wasn't because the other team was wearing the same colour socks perhaps. I know he doesn't like both teams to wear the same colour socks, makes penalty box melees more difficult to keep track of!
My send off was a ridiculous one as well, First yellow card was debatable as the momentum from a tackle carried me through a player, didn't complain too much. Second yellow card he showed me because I shouted "FOR f**kS SAKES" as one of our strikers made a cock-up, at the same time he was also blowing up a foul and seemed to get the idea I was shouting at him. phil_styles will vouch for me as he was on the other team I was playing against...

Having been away for a couple of weeks or so and now reading this post it seems somewhat evident to me that the referee involved in that game is not up to it. Clearly if there are several players and teams complaining about his performances then wellington soccer needs to look into this.
Capital Soccer have enough trouble finding refs for matches, I can't imagine they can afford to send another person with enough rule knowledge to judge a referee to every match. If they have that knowledge they will be reffing themselves.
