BLOOPER OF THE WEEKEND: Assistant slip at Walsall
It was tempting not to put this in and it wouldn’t be here if it was a serious issue but thankfully the assistant was okay so it’s fine to have a little chuckle at his slip. As the linesman was following the action he slipped, hurting himself in the process to the delight of the fans packing the stands at Walsall.
The game on the field was a pretty good affair, Walsall putting in an excellent performance against the table-toppers Bristol City and on another day they could have taken all three points. Despite that, the Saddlers fans will be satisfied with a point and a bit of a sideshow thanks to the assistant referee, he’ll make sure his studs are clear in next week’s game.
