Clearly saw the incident by their 4 then went round asking everyone what they saw. Hope they said "you blew the f*****g whistle when standing just yards away with the best view - so what did YOU see"

Missed Lawlor out of area - missed a clear Handball by us late on

I could go on (and usually do)

NIL totally useless

Big fat zero. One of the worst displays of officiating I've seen in ages. Will expand further tomorrow.

Only thing was he was poor for both sides. And he did get the penalty right.

Lawlors feet were outside the box Wolfe but not his hands or the ball.
Can't believe he did not send their number four off for the kick on Houghton.
A ref sat near us suggested that he spoke to the linesman because he wasn't sure who had actually kicked Houghton so didn't know who to card.
Having made the decision he bottled getting the right colour one out.
After that he went card happy and lost control,at times.
One of the worst we have had.

Clueless.  Despite the scoreline one of the worst refs to grace the Keepmoat.  Lost control after 10 minutes and never got it back.  How do these people stay in a job?

I could write forever on the inadequacy of the referee. His assistants weren't very good either, the West Stand one missing Ranger shoving his arm into Toffolo's face (more than once) and then missing a blatant offside.

Where do I start? The kick on Houghton was clearly a red card but he seemed to have lost the plot before then. He seemed to give decisions at random and having been lenient early on he then started flashing cards in the last 20 minutes.

For the Houghton incident alone he should be getting a few weeks off, but I dare say he'll be ruining someone's weekend next week.

Can’t believe you people are giving him more than zero - this guy was useless and that’s after a win

Yes - I normally complain and give alleged Refs an average of 1 Point each game

It has to be difficult to Referee a game - and I would not do it for Free beer for life but ffs there are some that are just crap and this is one of them

So even when we had a handsome win it was still a NIL from me (as I posted above). Filo was right in that the "Ref" must have spoken to everyone - and listened to everyone's opinion and STILL got it wrong. I knew when a minute had passed that the colour would be Yellow to match his demeanor

there bloke should have been off simple as   no discussion with anybody and everybody its on Youtube and very very clear. Wordsworth is  shown kicking Houghton up the arse when he was down not once but twice
There aint no discussion to be had tbh its probably the only thing the Sun Tan King said right in his interviews he should have been off simple as no arguments

0.73 Points on average - which is about 0.5 Points too high

I think anyway - just based on the booting of JH (twice !)
