    I gather you don't know either Shrewsbury Roughyed

    Good memory AoHaF. Though I thought it was less than 10 minutes from time. In terms of forgiving Mr Holdsworth, he can't possibly have known for sure because it was tight, inconclusive on TV as you say. And there was no get-out of a video ref of course. He had to make a decision on the spot. Just so damn frustrating it went against us. Of course had it been a normal league match, it would have been long forgotten. We all remember it because it meant so much to us. 

    I've heard it said that if Offiah had scored it, rather than Lordy, he probably would have given it. Perhaps Paul wasn't well enough known within the game, but we know how quick he was, especially over a short distance.

    Anyway, it happened and it doesn't take away the fact that Mr Holdsworth was an excellent referee, well respected by players as many have paid tribute to him on social media. 

    RIP John Holdsworth

    in my opinion a better player than paul was his brother danny,

    a brilliant ball player in the brian mctighe mold

    when ever he played against oldham he slaughtered us.

    but sadly he was very injury prone and a diabetic but a class act.

                                                                                                                                                                                               

    As good as Danny was he clearly wasn't a patch on his brother.
