I don’t think it was deliberate, just incompetence.

No i would investigate it and if found to be done deliberately that person would follow a disciplinary process which could end much worse than just a fine.
Just for clarity at no point have i said the mistake was deliberate i was just trying to make a suggestion of a way to stop fans thinking referring mistakes are deliberate which may help quell the conspiracy theories.1 user thanked author for this post.
To disallow that goal last night in my opinion was more than just incompetency, he saw something which didn’t even happen. It’s surely impossible for a ref to a get a decision so wrong and just chalk it down to a human error.
Butterfield was a a few yards away from their GK when he slapped the ball into his own net !
Just looking for the possible explanation with the least edge to it, for the sake of everyone’s sanity…
I’d suggest that because he didn’t have a clear view (ie. sight of the keeper was obscured by Butterfield’s back), when the keeper went down seeming to have been fouled then the referee had no option other than working on the balance of probability that he had. The lino might have been able to clarify, but perhaps he didn’t have a clear view either.
In the non-VAR leagues, who does the rule book favour in these situations?

Agree Apollo. Was about 4 yards away. Both players had eyes on the ball and there where no raised arms or elbows from either player. The referee clearly had an agenda to book Whitehall and reached for his card immediately. He did then hesitate with the card until the players received treatment. Could and should have consulted his linesman who was 2 yards away from the incident with a much better view but didn’t even acknowledge the lino let alone speak to him.
Possibly the abuse he received after that incident set him against the team in general for the remainder of the game. If he didn’t have an agenda then one assumes he will be apologising for disallowing the goal once he has seen the replay and the video of the Spennymoor goalkeeper laughing at him.

I reckon when you consider the recent online behaviour of our fans this twitter post has to be considered extremely irresponsible

It’s also highly unprofessional. I expect more from my football club, even when passions are running high.

I have seen one of the refs who defended Taylor has said he has received abuse by DM. I think some of the refs have handled disagreement poorly, but that and posting email addresses of Taylor is not on.

I’ve now seen all this twitter stuff that is being referenced about the Spennymoor ref.
What a cesspit X is !
The tweet by the club after the result is poor clearly questioning the integrity of the ref- I would say very amateur not what I’d expect from a professional football club.
The responses from a lot of Scunthorpe supporters comes across, at best, as whining and entitled.
There’s someone who has produced a list of ref incidents we have suffered from.
There are others contacting some ref account, I think it’s the ref James mentioned above, and literally trying to get him to block them.
I’m sorry but the Matt Ellis responses don’t look good to me, suggesting there is an agenda against Scunthorpe United.
The whole thing seems to have riled up various rival club fans to either take the piss or tell sufc to get over themselves.
Scunthorpe United are a full time professional club playing in a part time league with a squad of highly paid professional players and when we can’t manage to get a result at Spennymoor start kicking off like spoiled kids who haven’t got their own way and blaming the whole thing on the ref.
