Ex referee & York fan (no shit Sherlock! The clue's in the name!) Longhurst season ticket holder & semi-pro opposition baiter!

@tommyf1996 @YfrontFanzine I wasn’t a fan of either last season, but loved the 3rd!
Personally I think this year’s home is an improvement, but am hanging on to see what others are like…
Ultimately, agree with @YfrontFanzine , don’t really care as long as we’re winning!

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@DaleVince Regaining ‘your’ place in the EFL? 🤣🤣🤣 you have had 7 years out of 136 (5.1%) in EFL!
Hardly notable , & certainly not worthy of thinking of yourselves as having significant history. 🤡

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@Gracie_Blue89 100% dive! Kane initiated contact with the keeper’s hand in the hope of winning a penalty, but was already ‘falling’ forward before the contact (if he hadn’t been it may have been given).
For those saying why no 🟨, caution for simulation only if there’s NO contact.

@Noddy_Holder @Guymowbray Who? Me? 🤣🤣
Obviously EVERY tackle on Ollie is a foul, we all know that! 😉

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@Guymowbray FGS tell Shearer dragging a foot over a keeper’s hand is NOT a penalty!
‘Having a right’ to do so is cheating, simple as that.

@YfrontFanzine Well done mate, fully deserved for the sheer amount of hard work you’ve put into this over the years! 👏👏👏

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@SteveyAsp Well I DID tell you to get fit by August, so maybe… 😉
Hope your recovery is going well!

@Irina_exh All 20, recording from radio to cassette was common practice, usually the top 10 countdown…

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@NLLowdown I assume people in Didcot can’t count… 🤣🤣

@Joshstones09
“Cheer up Joshy Stones, oh what can it mean, to a fat ginger bastard on a five year deal”
Congratulations & thanks for committing your future to @YorkCityFC , thanks @matt_uggla for being true to your word!

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@Guymowbray come on Guy, 12 minutes in & no York City reference yet!
You can’t do better than that… 😉

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@GeorgeDobell1 I’d have thought that, DURING the match, the curfew was respected. After the match finished early it’s possible that players assumed it had been relaxed.
Sure this will be more clear going forward, & in hindsight…

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@NotFarLeftAtAll Getting Deep Heat on your todger!

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@calhowe @toptipsmaster @YorkCityFC Good luck Callum & massive thanks for everything at York, a true leader on & off the pitch!
Fitting that your last touch in a City shirt led directly to our (Your) Championship! 🔴🔵👏👏👏

@jaygordoo Can’t take anything serious when it’s someone from a country where men wear skirts!
You’re only there because they increased the numbers to give minnows a chance to get out of their homeland occasionally.

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@deaniepeenie @TenHagBaller Disagree with fact? 🤷‍♂️
Have an opinion that the Law is wrong, maybe. But disagree with correct application, because it doesn’t match your opinion isn’t logical…

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@samtheshrimp18 @TenHagBaller No they didn’t, stadium announcement made it clear the retake was due to encroachment by Croatia 4, who subsequently became involved in clearing the ball.
Clear & obvious advantage & EXACTLY as Law 14 requires!

[Tony Johnson @YCFC_Referee]

@TenHagBaller Retake was for encroachment by Croatia No4, as announced in the stadium. His encroachment gave him the advantage to clear the ball.
BUT keeper also had both feet in front of the line, probably went early due to stuttered run up (legal, but shouldn’t be IMO)
