Giving him 1 (mostly for turning up)

Let too many fouls go

Missed a blatant couple of Yellow Cards

Kept pointing to his watch whilst holding it aloft to emphasise the point that he was "adding time"

Had no balls and added just 4 minutes whereas a minimum of at least 5 would have been "fairer!


All that said PV were as cynical as possible BUT we have to take that cynicism out of the game by going 1 or 2 nil up !

I wasn't there last night but it sounds like a refereeing performance we've seen a lot recently.

Missed a blatant push on Williams near the end in the penalty box.

Usual standard of refereeing, very very poor.  Ultimately, unless things change and football learns from other sports, poor refereeing, lack of use of technology and abysmal timekeeping will kill football at all but the highest level.
