Game of 2 halves

4 in first half ... 1 in second half when he just fell off a cliff

Got hit by ball from Stags player and it went to another Stags player so why not play on

He let 32 cheat throughout and finally watched him boot ball away and awarded a deserved Yellow

Then 32 crocked Maxwell in NE corner AND he went diliberately to crock him and no second Yellow followed

Tomlin Pen was hard for me to call from half way but if it was a dive (for cheating) then surely just seconds later in SW corner their bloke went down like a sack of Spuds and was blatantly cheating

He told keeper 5 to 6 times he was watching but very last action ball boy side footed ball to Keeper
... who kicked it back to Ball boy.

Ball boy side footed it again and the 1000 £ a week keeper missed the ball

Finally after more than a minute I guess he put in in play and Ref blew whistle and I awarded him a point

[roversdude]

Zero from me I’m afraid - he was shocking.
Warning Mitchell after 10 minutes to hurry yet let them time waste throughout
Our penalty for an elbow yet their player not even spoken to
Tomlins looked nailed on to me, still not sure what theirs was for

Got loads wrong and fell for every trick in the book.    Bottled the 2nd yellow on their 32. 
Not the reason we lost though as we were 2nd best all afternoon

Really poor by the ref.
My thoughts are the same as Wolfie above.

[Panda]

Not the worst but by far the best. One annoying thing he did was when he was going to continue to play on after a coming together of two players but decided to blow for a free kick to Mansfield upon their crowd suddenly screaming for a free kick. Influenced by the crowd.

[Donnywolf]

He took a fair while to give their Pen and probably was influenced by the Yellow appeal

You could see that 32 was "at it" all game. He had an entire play book of "mischief" .... after Ref watched him boot ball away and finally Carded him I was astounded the Ref did not give him a Second one for the "tackle" on Maxwell (guess)

It was quite clear he meant it. He moved before going in for it ... I can't describe it but I knew it was coming
