Go on I'll break the mould.  Didn't see a single contentious decision all game from ref or linos.  Barely noticed there was a ref on the field, a 5 from me.

He was good but can only count to nine.
We got a free kick right in front of the South Stand.
Ref counted out the steps then drew his line on the pitch, but only got to nine.

Maybe he counted out 9 metres which is approx 10 yards

Nice thought mate but it wasn’t even nine yards.

I thought he did OK.   If I was impartial (which I'm not) then I'd have marked him down significantly for bottling the red card for Joe.

Its something they are terribly inconsistent at doing.

That's from Ref to Ref but also an individual Ref can vary within a game

Won't be long till they spend their time getting out a Laser distance measurer lol

I used to laugh when my Dad said they will soon have (or ought to) beepers at Wimbledon to see when Tennis balls are In or Out

Oh how I laughed.
