Bump

[Chris Black come back]

Will give him credit, thought he was decent today. Let the game flow, reluctant to card, no real shockers. It’s a 4 for me.

[drfchound]

Yep, I feared the worst but thought he had a very good game.
Also a four from me.

[roversdude]

Didn’t think I’d ever give this but a 3 from me. In the main he had a good game.
Bit too quick to stop the game when a player held his head but I guess he’s following guidelines - for me if a player goes down holding his head and the game stops (as it probably should) the physio should be straight on the pitch and the player assessed for 5 minutes off the pitch, it’s far too easy to stop play now faking a head injury to then jump back up. Assessment off the pitch is then looking after the players well being

[Donnywolf]

Timekeeping should be by clock stopping every time ball goes out of play

Then there would be imo less fake injuries and might highlight the real injuries because what worries me if that Refs are "playing" at doctors and looking at every bugger who goes down with ( it seems ) ANY injury to try to keep the Trainers OFF

However the big danger is someone has a do like Lockyer of Luton or swallows their tongue and those seconds MIGHT just prove decisive

Yesterday .... On the whole that wasn't Ed the Duck . He was ok in parts , and bloody poor in some parts. I think he favoured them a lot more than us but I will say 2

[glosterred]

He’s improve a lot from his last visit
