4th Official at Championship matches?

[Budgem]

I presume this has been binned?

No added on time boards, no subs on & players off board, plus, keeping coaches, managers etc in their technical areas.

Blatantly obvious yesterday as Dick Campbell, Big Rab and some dude with water bottles absolutely harangued the standside linesman and ref, Colin (boy) Steven did nothing about it. DC was never in his technical area the whole match. Surely the second tier of Scottish football should have this position?

Noticed this too.DC and the lineman were almost having a cuddle at 1 point!!Arbroath bench were very much in the officials face the whole game.Good Tactic that certainly assisted their robust conduct that mostly went unpunished.

At one point Bowyer was in the Arbroath technical area haranguing the linesman. Campbell took it in good spirits and seemed to let Bowyer have his say and then shook Bowyer's hand after he'd done his own complaining.

Not sure a 4th official would've seen it so jovially.

Will worry about crap officials as an excuse once our players make less mistakes than the officials

I haven't been aware of 4th officials below the Premiership but I could be wrong.
