Since he became a football league referee he has never refereed a match we have won.  Hope he changes that pattern. :welcome:

Two defeats in away games and two draws in home games- the most recent being last season's 0-0 with MK Dons. I seem to recall he awarded Burnley a dodgy penalty when we lost there in 2011-12. Dodgy penalties and Burnley seem to go together!

Can't say I was particularly impressed. The booking for Keegan was a joke as both players were looking at the ball and were entitled to go for it. He was slow to crack down on Birmingham's spoiling tactics, although to be fair to him he didn't have any truck with them lying down and pretending to be injured.

The West Stand lino appeared to give offside decisions at random. Where do they get them from?

Not a very good performance, the Keegan booking was ridiculous, let Birmingham get away with a lot including zidic rabbit punching Brown near the dugouts. West stand lino yet again couldn't get offside decisions correct, poor from the officials again

Very poor indeed. How do these people stay in the job? Football is the worse for people like these!
The West side linesman  waited to be told by the ref which way a throw in should go every single time. Poor, very poor.

Ref wasn't too bad but I couldn't fathom how Keegan got a yellow for a clear 50-50 challenge.
