Title: Rovers v Stoke City - FA Cup - 9/1/16- Keith Stroud
Post by: The Red Baron on December 24, 2015, 09:38:48 am

Referee: Keith Stroud.
Assistants: Andrew Halliday & Joe Hull.
4th: Nigel Miller.

FA Cup appointments have been released very early this year. Keith Stroud is currently injured so this one is subject to change.

I hope he recovers otherwise Nigel Miller could get the game.

I think Miller will remain 4O. This game is going to get either a Select Group referee or one on the fringes of the SG, which Stroud is. He's done a couple of Premier League games this season.

Personally I find Stroud rather fussy and card happy, although I do remember him as one of the better referees in our Conference days.

I can never find the appointments for the FA Cup, even on the FA website.

I voted 2 points and that might be too high

Once again we see inconsistency between Refs because raising the hands in the way they Wollschild did SHOULD imo have resulted in a Red Card ... and almost all Refs would have sent him off

Had Andy Williams done that to him (roles reversed so to speak)  I feel sure it would have been a Red

However was Nathan Tyson fortunate with what looked like a bit of retribution ?

Seemed to favour the Prima Donnas of the premiership in any 50/50 decisions.

A referee with a bad case of Big club syndrome, that wolfchoil or whatever his name is should have seen red in the first half, denied a nailed on pen and Crouch's goal looked offside

Very poor start but improved a bit as the game went on. He got two big decisions wrong for me. Wollschild should have been booked for pushing Williams which would have meant a second yellow for the foul a few minutes later. Then he missed a penalty when Alcock was dragged back.

I can accept he may not have had a good view of the penalty incident and could have been helped by his assistant who was poor throughout.

  His Assistant was a Cardboard cutout on West Stand.

Could give him only a 1 as he chickened out of making the big decisions that cost us at least a replay and a few quid in the bank
