Hope he is better than the Mr Singh we got at Chester for a midweek league game in 2002/03

As it’s Crewe at home in a semi final, I was hoping for Trevor Kettle so Joe could take a penalty twice.

OMG that game was madness. Did we get two players sent off there? Some dubious calls from distant memory. I think it was Paddy's night as well and we went out after in Liverpool, which was much better

1 PL game, his first, Luton-Palace in March, but mainly Championship and L 1. No L2 matches at all this season.

From Facebook:

“Let's hope Sunny Singh who's refereeing on Monday is as good as he's dad Jarnail  Singh. He was a class referee back in day  can't remember him having a bad game one of a few decent referees along with Uriah Rennie

Two points

1) He was absolutely fantastic and let the game flow

2) could you imagine that game being controlled by VAR. Every little 50/50 slowed down and analysed. It would be 5 v 5

Probably the best ref we’ve seen this season.

The ref did an excellent job, let the game flow and did not fall for some of the play antics from both sides.

Can we have him every week!

Same he only started getting things right in the second half mols had at least 3 fouls in the first 20 mins go against him or not given, I thought here we go again

He didn’t want to start dishing cards out so let a few go, mainly on us. From when Molyneux was taken out in first half he got serious.

Also clear foul on Sterry near the corner fla that they attacked from.

Clear corner we should have had, it wasn’t a hard one.



When he finally gave us a FK first half he didn’t play advantage, McCann was going nuts at him I genuinely thought he was terrible.

I thought he started poorly, and then got a lot better, so overall OK. That is better than most this season.

My thoughts too Dutch.
I thought he was a Homer in the first half hour but levelled it up after that.

I thought he was good. We dive a lot for soft free kicks and he didn't fall for it at all. Got one call majorly wrong though when he gave us a free kick after Matty Craig had made a back for their midfielder.

Watching the game in the ground, the universal view all around where i was, is that he was clueless and let far too much go which could have cost us dearly. 
The push in the back on Sterry resulting in the attacker getting a run on goal was as clear a foul as youll see. Fortunately they didnt make the most of the chance.

I thought the way he pointed to the "middle" twice was fantastic.

He got those 2 absolutely spot on  :scarf: :scarf:

I can see how those in the ground got caught up in the atmosphere and didn’t think he was giving stuff our way, but watching on TV and seeing the replays etc he was much much better than what we’ve had all season.

There were no significant injuries as a result of tackles and he handed out just 1 yellow card which is exceptional. He did “let a lot go”, and it’s not easy to take a neutral stance, but I did not come away thinking that we had suffered discrimination. I don’t think that any decisions which might have been borderline would have led to goals, there were no serious injuries and I cannot recall any major confrontations with players over decisions, all reasonable tests.

The zero yellow count is important because IIRC two yellows in semi means a ban for the final. We have no-one on one yellow worried about that in the second leg.

More excellent insight Dutch. Like a factual one armed bandit where every pull of the handle delivers a guaranteed fact jackpot.

I thought he was pretty poor overall. Not the worst I've seen this season by a long chalk but not great either. I have no problem with letting the game flow; that's how I referee too but there were a few odd decisions made/not made.

The one that really stands out for me: When Lo-Tutala had the ball in his hands and their forward kicked out at him well after the ball was safely under control the ref had a strong word with Lo-Tutala for his reaction but didn't even speak to the forward who should've been booked for reckless play.

Nah, Sterry goes looking for those all the time. Quick look behind him, get himself in front of the attacker, go down at any nudge of contact. Yeah, 90% of the time referees give them, but a valuable lesson to Sterry not to assume they always will.

I thought the ref gave two odd decisions in the whole game, but otherwise was really good. People around me in the ground seemed to decide he was terrible after appealing for a handball where their player fell over and headed it away from Adelakun on the deck, and then just got increasingly irate with him for every marginal decision that didn't go our way after that.
