What did you think of him?
I felt the cards shown to Duffy and Bong were a tad harsh

Utter shit, compounded by the West linesman.
Didn't think it was a foul for their goal either, but not seen it back yet.

Was OK. Should have got a yellow for blocking the underpar Knocky.

Didn't like the way he Mike Dean'ed the fouled player before issuing a yellow card as if he was looking for a reason to get out the red

He got in the way of play twice, both times looked like it could be dangerous.

A poor refereeing performance, well below what we should be getting from full time professional referees. This is, after all, reputedly the wotld's top league, with world class players and it is not unreasonable to expect that the officials should be of equally high standard. Unfortunately, they are not
East stand lino missed the ball going out of play, which should have been a goal kick, at about 4 minutes into the game. If he'd given it they probably wouldn't have scored that goal at 6 minutes. For a while afterwards he looked really flustereo but assume he was getting abuse from fans in East stand.
The card for Murray looked like a poor decision to me, but I haven't seen a replay.

Thought Duffy's card was because he kicked the ball away and not for an innocuous foul. Murray got booked because of the reaction from the Soton player and, from where we were, it never looked like a foul for their goal (Guardian report seems to concur with that view).
To be fair, it was no more than a yard over the line.
Blazing with more cards even though there was barely more than a misstimed challenge all game?!
Maybe not the ref's fault, but that ball in the 1st 10 mins looked along way over the line in front of the North Stand. Looked like the lino realised he'd made a mistake by putting his hands up shielding the sun in an extra exaggerated way.

He had the sun in his eyes and was making a show of putting his hand to his eyes to shade them. There was a huge shout from both the North & East stand.
The notification on my app said it was for arguing as was the Southampton player.

Personally thought he was generally poor. He did keep getting in the way for some reason and made some bad decisions including the free kick for their goal. Didn't agree with any of the bookings except for Bong's.

Of course I gave him plenty of abuse during the game but, like most of the refs this season, markedly better than those we've had in recent seasons. Looking back at the replay, it certainly was a foul by Stephens for their goal, kept his cards in his pocket as long as he could, Murray was a bit unfortunate but other than that no real complaints.
What a load of crap. The SCC player got up and pushed Murray. You can't get booked for arguing with a player that's just pushed you, that's ridiculous.

He should have booked that irritable urk Boufal who seemed to spend most of the game rolling on the ground with one eye open or flailing his arms in the air trying to get players booked ,what a nauseous creep

He also gave two corners based on the fact that he couldn't believe a Southampton's players shot went a long way wide of the goal so in his view it must have come off one of our players
