Gemma and I watched a replay of it this morning

Swarbrick pointed directly the spot and didn't even look across to the lino.

And yes what about the lino? Agreed. One of the Caps who gets the train is a member of a local referees society and he's mentioned to me that some refs want minimal help from the lino in decisions and only use them for offsides. Whether this applies at a lower level or higher up the the refs ladder, who knows? Maybe Swarbrick is one of those refs or he was convinced in what he saw.

        Yes but not forcefully. The lino didn't flag at all as far as I remember, certainly not (NCFC) - TransitVanBeethoven, Aug 23, 11:20:08
