I recall one free kick he gave us, which he shouldn't have, but apart from that there were numerous free kick he gave Forest which shouldn't have been. Forest players just kept stopping in front of ours, then inevitably falling over, and getting the inevitable poor decision from the tw@ of a ref.

Lansbury got away with a couple of out of control tackles and pushing our players right in front of the ref at several free kicks. So when Stephens got booked for nothing it makes it sting that little bit more.

Yep....he was crap...had the whole Summer to get his eyes tested and every time a Forest player fell over he gave them a free kick or booked one of our players.....
Conference football beckons for Mr Stroud or whatever his name is.....

Certainly he's not a home banker when he referees our games........but it sounds like it
I hope for his sake that he is a cheat.
Because if he isn't, then he's so utterly clueless that he needs to quit, now!
Agreed - he was one of those sad "it is all about me" referees.

Agree Stephens booking horrendous. He certainly wasn't booked for brushing a forest player in the way past (in that incident). He was booked as a) he could have seen yellow for the foul on Lansbury a few mins earlier and the ref had that in his small mind. b) that prick Lansbury (who moaned and whined all night) went straight up to the ref when the ball went dead.
Also noticed in the highlights the incident where Stockdale saved from Walker. I was 100yards away at time and was sure it was never a corner. Sure enough the replay showed one forest player almost tackled another and they kicked it out - we didn't have someone within about a metre of the ball - corner given to them. Atrocious guessing decision. He was shite!

Not awoke
OP seems to have omitted that Lansbury was deliberately blocking him
Vaughan got booked for that challenge on O'Grady as well! Couldn't have won the ball any cleaner.

Absolutely. It is totally inexcusable that neither the linesman (okay, RA if you like) or the ref could make the right call over that one. Shocking decision.
Just read this thread, thought his second half decisions were poor. Stephens was booked for intent as although he got a piece of Lansbury he didn't complete the job.
Of course he did check with Lansbury that it was the right decision, as he did during the entire game. Okay it was the other way round, but just irritated me throughout.

Was a cracking tackle! Refs really need to know more about the game!

Am I right in thinking that Kayal got booked for BEING tackled?
Is that the tackle where the opponent was sliding along the floor?
