37 yellows and 2 reds over 7 games this season......

1 .... started ok then fell off a cliff.

And it's not sour grapes this week is it ?

[roversdude]

1 agree with my learned friend above. Started to go wrong when he booked Biggins. How he didn’t give their player a red for the studs up challenge or the one at the end where a player has a kick at Jones

I thought he was actually the best we've had all season. West Stand lino good as well.

[adsrover]

Best one this season but that's not hard.

[glosterred]

Thought he was one of the better refs we’ve had this season but lost it for a spell in the first half for a while. A 2/3 from me but as there’s no poll I cannot register my vote

Not bad. One absurd card for Biggins. Otherwise generally fair to both sides. 3/5 for me.

[Champagne Super Rovers]

I think it's a reflection of just how atrocious the referees have been this year that this guy seemed 'not bad'.  He was better than any we've had so far but far from competent.

Right in front of me and Biggo kicked it away. Needless yellow card.

If  the ball had bounced back off hoardings instead of going under the gate Biggins might not have got booked. He was also quick to book Joe Ironside for a shove when letting a lot of theirs go unpunished. The one where their defender had a handful of shirt late on being one badly missed.
Interesting that Luton got a penalty yesterday for a defender kicking the ball onto his arm and we had exactly the same happen in our game.
We agreed we shouldn’t get that decision and the Luton one was rightly criticised on match of the day.
Overall though he was better than most we have had so far this season.

Agree with Ref because they have all been told to stamp this out. Biggins unlucky he played for a rebound that didn't happen .... BUT .... the Ref had already ignore a Gills forward booting ball a lot further than that , showing inconsistency as most of them do

They are inconsistent with their decisions during the same game AND they are inconsistent amongst themselves.
