A referee who thought the black thorn end came to see him perform. Possibly the worst in many a year Clearly loves himself. You dont see many refs with a public Instagram page. This twat does, blue tick n'all ... www.instagram.com/bobby_madden_/?hl=en

Refereed in the champions league. Amazing that. Would have thought downs level would have been more appropriate for him.

Added time is always a minimum. There will be a minimum of x added minutes, not a maximum. You just love it when Rovers don't win don't you? Do you still stick with your views that Barton's unproven at L1 level?

Found these comments about our new bestie from an Oxford fan which sounds kinda familar?
"The new Trevor Kettle has arrived!
We had a guy called Bobby Madden yesterday, who's in his first season in the EFL after leaving Scotland, where he was allegedly their top referee. I'd Dam hate to see the worst one if this clown was the best.
Among his gems were telling the managers that he would not add time on for throw ins, which led to Burton taking an eternity over every one from about the 5th minute in. He then added only one minute on at half time. He allowed our 17 year old centre forward to be assaulted every time the ball came near him, and when being booed as he walked off at half time found it funny and laughed at fans.
Second half when Burton stopped time wasting, as they were losing, he found seven minutes of added time, and played about eight!
Worst I've seen since Kettle and should f**k off back to Scotland"

Didn’t fancy the minutes silence then guys n girls? Oh the embarrassmentðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚😂 I think that the club need to announce that the Last Post will be followed by a minute's silence. It was nothing to do with being disrespectful, on any other occassion a minute's silence is usually clarified beforehand, otherwise, younger people expect to applaud. It wasn't as though anybody broke the silence intentionally, they thought that they were showing appreciation for the fallen - which is the whole point. Did not say it was disrespectful, nor intentional🙃 True it wasn’t clarified before hand, which was a bollock drop in itself, but we’ve been home what seems like every one of the last 4/5 seasons on or around the 11th. Figured most know the drill by now. still mighty embarrassing to break into rapturous applause only to fall back to silence for merely 20secs. Finley was looking around like WTF.

You described it an as embarrassment, so, in what way was it embarrassing? Some did the wrong thing, so others followed suit. Funnily enough, just seen the Man City match, and people applauded there too. A lot of workplaces do not do the two minutes silence on 11th now, (no idea about schools), so some people proably only experience it football, annually at most. They're probably not going to remember from one year to the next that it's a different format. Like the majority, some of my relatives have been lost during wars, I'm sure that they would be equally happy to be acknowledged with a round of applause, if that's how it turned out on the day.

Embarrassing in that no one had a clue what was going on nor what they were meant to be doing. Finley & the Gas lads were half looking at each other, half looking around over their shoulders at what was going on as were the officials. Even Ed Hadwin immediately highlighted the confusion in his comms. Fair doos if you think it was a decent tribute, no arguments there. I was sat witnessing what I thought was a shambles. But on we go!

This twat does, blue tick n'all ... www.instagram.com/bobby_madden_/?hl=enI've always said this, imo the Refs in professional Football are similar to the players. The best refereees will more often than not make their way to the very top level. Just like the Rickie Lamberts, Ivan Toneys etc do. The average 3rd or 4th Division referee, just like the average players at that level are where they are for a reason For referee's just like the Footballers I imagine the same applies. I've got no problem with a 3rd Division referew bigging himself up. They've probably been through some hard graft getting there mind!

Bit tough to take that but there we go, couldn't go yesterday so suffered watching Geff Stelling and co , why is it that every time i have to do that the Rovers game always seems to be the last or one of the last to finish? GRRrrr! Frustrating though it was i still think we are a good competitive league 1 side and will be fine, finishing twixt 8-16.

Not read the pages so sure I’ll be repeating, but for once we didn’t close the game out well. Refs performance got worse as the game went on and it was clear he was going to keep playing and giving them every decision until they score! So frustrating. Great 2nd half performance tho. Should have got the 3rd when we’ll on top and take the ref out of it. Another exciting game. 1st half thought fleetwood were excellent. Didn’t give us a second on the ball. Couldn’t keep it up and the change of formation worked for us. Need a win soon but we look comfortably mid table in this league.

The tribute to the fallen was a fiasco today. The tradition is actually a 2 minutes silence, the Last Post starts the silence and it actually takes over a minute to blow on a bugle, depending on the bugler of course and how fast/slow the call is made. The 2 mins is then ended by the bugler sounding Reveille. Trust me, I've done it many times Oh and it should be sounded on a bugle not a trumpet

The ref was appalling. That said we needed to do two things better and it wouldn’t have mattered. Taking our chances - their keeper didn’t make the saves -Collins and Coburn both missed the target when they should have done better. And we must start the game on the first minute. So many times we’ve had to come back into games we make it hard for ourselves and leave ourselves open to something like yesterday happening.

We went into added time 2-1 up when the ref decided he'd award every foul in the oppositions favour then add on time to allow them to score? What you class as good late subs looking at our bench today? By definition, if it's foul, the laws of the game dictate a free kick. As for subs, how about not making them? I would suggest Collins was subbed as we didnt want the person loosely described as a referee to give him a yellow card for time wasting or being fouled and falling over.

And now for something completely different! Old boys' reunion yesterday at Oxford, D.C, Ellis, Billy boy and the other one! very disrespectful of Billy and the other one to kick D.C in the teeth like that, rescued Billy's career and made the other ones and that's all the thanks he gets! shocking!

As I said earlier in the thread it's not the first sporting event this weekend that's had the same issue but no one has seemed to apply the simple fix of announcing 'first post followed immediately by silence'

Having rewatched the FTFC equaliser a few times the obvious way to have prevented the goal is glaring.
The keeper took the free kick. Nobody pushed up as a wall at the 10yard distance. This gave them a free ball into the danger zone.
Place a striker or 2 infront of him there is no clear ball in. There is also a risk of hitting the "wall" which would have likely resulted in a rovers goal or a red card for a desperate keeper way out of his half.
