A fair result for the last game of the season? I don’t think so.

Whitburn were strong against league winners Roker in a game that saw end to end quality play. A defensive error by Whitburn allowed Roker an easy first goal but Whitburn came back with a fantastic goal from Callum Elliott that was mysteriously disallowed???????? Jordan Greenaly brought Whitburn back into the game when he hooked a Josh Armstrong cross into the back of the Rokers net. Then just before the final whistle Roker took their second goal to win 2-1.

I feel a draw would have been a fair result. Player for player Whitburn appeared the stronger side but hey we’ve had a busy few weeks with little time to fit in any training sessions and I think that may have let us down today.

Also, although the Referee seemed a canny bloke and had a good game he really needn’t have turned up as the Rokers manager attempted to multi task (and we all know about men and multi tasking don’t we ladies?).

Just a suggestion: if managers are going to instruct referees from the side lines then maybe they ought to learn the rules themselves first.
‘ it is not an offense for a player to be in an offside position’. The player must
be involved in active play as determined by the referee to be called offside.
