The ref yesterday....

Blues Rock DJ · Feb 12, 2017

Loved the way he used his spray for every free kick, regardless where it was. Only thing was, he forgot to mark ten yards from the original mark.
I thought it was funny anyway, was expecting him to mark the penalty spot !

He was also marking the wrong way, parallel to the touchline. He was also one of the worst refs I can remember and thank God it wasn't a high profile match.

Remembered his spray can but forgot his cards.

Very poor.

BensGrandad · Feb 12, 2017

I thought that he was very poor gave no controversial decisions but his general control and decision making was awful.

Trelford Mills Guide Dog · Feb 12, 2017

I didn't mind the ref ... he got a few decisions wrong, but let the game flow.

Dick Swiveller · Feb 12, 2017

Yep. Terrible ref. When we win 4-1 and he gives us a penalty, you know he is bad if a lot of people say he is.

I thought it was quite controversial to award us a free kick deep in our own half when Glenn Murray was through, one-on-one with the keeper. I got quite cross.

Especially after he waited to see if we had an advantage, saw we did and then brought it back.

Neville's Breakfast · Feb 12, 2017

I liked his use of the spray to mark where free kicks should be taken. Footballers tend to have
an inability to work this out for themselves. Some strange decisions late in the second half and I wasn't convinced about Solly's penalty award but other than that he didn't have many decisions to make. Perhaps he should have booked the player who took out AK near the halfway line.

Paul Reids Sock · Feb 12, 2017

I felt he was poor in each half for different reasons.

First half it felt like he had forgotten his whistle and would barely give a free kick. Second half it felt like he was making up for it and there were free kicks every few seconds.

Wasn't convinced about our penalty or the free kick for their goal (but what a goal!) but I guess they evened themselves out

studio150 · Feb 12, 2017

I thought his use of the spray can for every free kick should be adopted by all refs. Also time togive linesman a spray can for marking out where the thrown in needs to be taken off. Immediately stops the gaining of a yard or 5.

Better to be critical after a win than a loss and be accused of sour grapes.

Surprised he didn't order the kick to be re-taken. I think it was Baldock who was damn-near level to Hemed when he scored.

That said, Burton players encroached too, so I don't know if there's now a directive that if players of both sides do that, it evens itself out.

And then didn't even book their player.

Terrible official. Wasn't he the one we had at Huddersfield? He wasn't very good there either, though not the reason we lost.

He was poor all game.

Thank god it didn't impact on the result. Unlike Pawson's performance later.

No - he was Mr "2 rescinded red cards" from Forest v Newcastle. He also did the Villa home game. That is the problem with professional Championship refs - they screw up and you are still stuck with them.

Akpom gets his shirt visibly and literally ripped from his body and the free kick goes the other way.
