Looking back at the previous comments of games where this guy has reffed us before, i aint very  hopeful, unfortunately.

I'm not hopeful of any of them even moreso this season

[The Red Baron]

Bump.

[Donnywolf]

He's got Yellow Cards and doesn't Old-ham back unless they will mean a 2nd yellow for somebody

He managed to avoid that predicament 3 times when lesser Fouls had been awarded a Yellow

Nil nil nil


April Fools but anyone laughing ?

I thought he was poor for both sides.  Fortunately, I don't think any of his poor decisions greatly affected the outcome.
A special mention for the east stand lino who missed several offsides in both halves.

I agree but one thing that perhaps goes un noticed is players cheating should be punished

Their number 3 picked up a Yellow ( eventually ) for fouling Moly. Later by the dug outs Moly was clean past him when tripped him and in the  context of a Game it was what the Card happy Ref had been issuing Yellows for

This time he didn't take the action he should and neither did he "do" the 21 after his Yellow when he did the outrageous pull back on Moly

A Red in either or let's face it both of those could just could have altered the result but in those cases we never know

I thought Broadbent was similarly lucky when picking up a Yellow in 4th minute and then I think it was him who brought down the Walsall player and Ref played on for 2 seconds when Lino flagged for Offside so he called it back

If it was GB then I think he should have gone
