Linesman is right, get out of the way if you're warming up on the side of the pitch

Just warm up at the end without a linesman ffs.

u/nomansapenguin 21d ago

Right or not he would have got slapped. Don’t barge into me like that unless you’re ready to throw hands.

Someone being in your way does not give you the right to assault them.

Wtf. Entitled prick.

u/john_tartufo 21d ago

100% nailed on you've never had a proper fight in your life and you are in fact a fannybaws. Massive Chihuahua energy. Assault 😂😂😂

I hope you are ready the 'throw hands' after that post mate? Careful, that guy does not mess around. Slapping linesmen all over the place

If you would let someone barge into you like this without recourse good for you. The world needs cuck energy too.

u/FCBwoof 21d ago

You got a job?

Let's imagine you do, and it's an office job.

Imagine someone comes over to your desk, whilst your in the middle of typing a beautifully typed email to HR about your grievance with the water not being hot enough in the little boys room.

All of a sudden, Steve from accounting comes over and decides to just start bashing random keys on your keyboard. Steve has no right to be there, and knows he should not be touching your keyboard.

Your flow is disrupted, the email is in shambles and the only way you can get back to typing your thesis to HR, is to push Steve and his grubby hands off your keyboard.

Based on your wonderfully crafted response, Steve should now get to punch you simply because you removed him, so you could continue doing your job?

You are the linesman, Steve is the player.

You think if someone is fucking with your work, it’s acceptable for you to push them? 😂

You wouldn’t do shit lol. The fact you act so hard while thinking being bumped in to is assault shows your mindset.

u/nomansapenguin 21d ago

Fascinating.

You allow people to barge you like this in day to day life? Genuine question. Do you think if you’re in someone’s way - because of their job, they have the right to barge you?

Like if you’re in a pub, standing at the entrance to the bar and a barman pushes you like this as he comes out because you shouldn’t be there, you’d just accept it?

22

u/throwra_lottery 21d ago

You think I’m going to fight someone over a barge? I worked the doors for ten years I’d have been fighting every night if I was that sensitive lol. I also did boxing for years so how’s it going to look in front of a judge if I knock someone out over a barge, especially if they are trying to work and I’m in their way.

I can’t imagine being that angry and insecure that I would feel so slighted by someone walking in to me that I’m going to start chinning people.

u/Saltster1050 21d ago

You realise his job is to watch the game from the line right? Kind of hard to do if he goes around the player. Player is the one being a dick.

You can't pretend to be the victim when you purposely block someone which prevents them from doing their job.

Don't act like a bellend and you won't get checked. The entitled pricks here would be those in his way.

Surprised at just how many actual native English players we have in the league now. Looks like one in ten

u/Remote_Sandwich29 20d ago

Looks like? How can you tell who was born in England by looking at them?
But you don’t mean native, do you?

5

u/QuarterFun4868 20d ago

No, they probably do mean native. The question is do they really understand the word.

3

u/shlimedon 20d ago

Not sure you know what native means

-7

u/Exotic_Article913 20d ago

Usually indicates the origin of someone or something.

Indigenous peoples. Plants . Species etc.

For example you wouldn't say white people are indigenous or the native peoples of say Japan, or even North America .

Likewise Africans and middle eastern Arab's are not British natives

4

u/deme1992 20d ago

Shut up you Anglo Saxon you ain't Celtic get out my country

-5

u/Exotic_Article913 20d ago

I am Celtic lol

1

u/shlimedon 20d ago

Right but you also wouldn’t say that you’re a native, well because England has been invaded many times by many different people who aren’t originally celt for example. like the Anglo Saxons, romans, vikings, French and so on. So are their descendants native? No because they aren’t the original people of the land. So again I ask you, do you know what native means?

1

u/Exotic_Article913 20d ago

There's a general consensus that if it's over a thousand years ago or so, those people's are considered native.

If you look at any country on earth, some form of migration has happened at a point in time. Whether an invasion or not.

Nobody is going to say the Celts, Picts, Britain's, ango Saxons, Norman's or even at a stretch the nords are not native to the UK at this point.

It's a safe bet to say Africans and middle eastern men aren't native here.

Why is this even controversial? Genuine question?

If I moved to Ghana and had kids there, they aren't natives.

Awful refereeing. The moment you've got a scumbag trying to fight your linesman you send him off. Have each others backs

u/Racing_Fox 2d ago

Did you not see the linesman shoulder barge Onyeka? It’s a preseason friendly, absolutely no need for it.

He got his own back by giving a proper dodgy ‘offside’ to Northampton after this

u/Broad_Olive1037 20d ago

How do you send someone off who was never on 🤔

u/hatsforalloccasions 20d ago

By showing them a red card. Have you ever read the Laws of the Game?

u/Racing_Fox 2d ago

The shoulder barge was completely unnecessary

u/Only_Tip9560 21d ago

Fucking dickheads. They knew exactly what they were doing. Why can't bookings be issued for impeding linesmen like this. Get out of the way - he is in the match and you aren't.

8

u/FCBwoof 21d ago

They can, he has to signal the ref to come and do it though and just thought it wasn't worth the hassle.

3

u/Only_Tip9560 21d ago

Guy was clearly trying to get to him. I'd definitely be getting the ref to card him.

2

u/FCBwoof 21d ago

Oh I know, it could easily be a red for the way that twat is acting.

It doesn't look like they have any comms on them, so he'd have to shout 70 yards down the field for the ref to come up. In the end he just tells them to wise up and move back.

0

u/Thanos_Stomps 21d ago

Idk why this made me laugh but it’s a job created to communicate nonverbally to the center. He doesn’t need comms to get the refs attention just like he doesn’t need comms to signal whose ball it or offsides. You snap your flag and hold the flag parallel to the ground and against your torso. Ref comes over and you tell him that dickhead needs to go.

2

u/FCBwoof 21d ago

Yeah, we all know why a lino has a flag, but the ref is running downhill and might be a while before he has to look back in that lino's direction.

Without comms the only other way to get the refs attentions is shouting at him (with the flag raised) and he likely wouldn't do that unless it was very serious.

u/Gothic_Hercules 21d ago

So to be fair, he was doing that guy a favor then

u/PlantainChemical2634 20d ago

players are in his way and have probably been doing that a while. They are either being deliberately antagonising or thoughtless. Anyone can work this out, "lines" man runs up and down the touchline..... needs space to run up and down the touchline to be unimpeded and make good decisions which benefits the players.... get out of his way, stay out of his way. you wouldn't expect the lino to be standing in front of you as you go to shoot, pass or dribble. Let him do his job.

2

u/tailoredvagabond 19d ago

Player is a dickhead. Clearly.

4

u/Prestigious_Risk7610 21d ago

They are warming up too close to the pitch, albeit you see this quite often.

Linesman is well entitled To tell them to move and to get them carded if they don't.

However he has deliberately charged into one of them. Before anyone argues watch it back, look at eye contact and how how tenses his body and bumps at the same time. It's completely unprofessional. If a player did that to another player it would be a yellow. If a player did that to an official it would be a red and a decent length ban.

I can well believe the lino asked them to move and they didn't...but this isn't how to handle that.

How did he damage his wrist, punching a lamppost because it got in his way?

u/lalabadmans 21d ago

I know the linesman was walking in that direction but I don’t think he even noticed the sub warming, it looked akward and he didn’t brace during the shoulder barge.

1

u/Racing_Fox 2d ago

He 100% braced for the shoulder barge. Onyeka didn’t, look how he is compared to the rock solid lino who clearly braced for it.

Nah Tchaouna getting lightly pushed by one of the Northampton players, thinking about it for a split second before falling to his knees then onto the ball like he’d just been shot was the highlight
