Events

[edit]

Goal controversies

[edit]
  • On 20 September 2008, duringWatford's home game againstReading, the assistant refereeNigel Banister adjudged that aJohn Eustace own goal had opened the scoring for Reading. In fact, the ball had gone four yards wide of the goal after Eustace challenged Royals forwardNoel Hunt and a corner should therefore have been awarded. RefereeStuart Attwell followed the signal by the assistant and awarded the goal.[44] The next day Reading managerSteve Coppell said that he was happy for the game to be replayed,[45] but his offer was turned down when an official said, "the referee's decision is final."
  • On 6 December 2008 an apparentBristol City goal againstSwansea City was not awarded after both the linesman and referee failed to see the ball cross the line. This led Bristol City managerGary Johnson to add to calls for goal-line technology.[46]

Southampton administration

[edit]

On 23 April 2009,The Football League announced thatSouthampton had been placed intoadministration. The ruling occurred after the deadline for immediate points deduction application, so the ten-point deduction would have to await whether or not Southampton, in 22nd place at the time of the announcement, were relegated.[47] If they had finished above the relegation zone, then the points would have been deducted from their total for the current year to thereby relegate them. However, since their relegation was confirmed following their penultimate match, their point penalty would be applied the next season inLeague One.[48]
