Phantom goal anyone?

[stuey]

Gets a 5 from me, simply for giving THAT penalty, that hit THAT crossbar, that led to THAT breakaway, that led to THAT goal!!!!

One of the best refs we've had this season IMO. Wasn't one of those intent on stopping the game every 2 seconds, let things go, and by and large got the bookings right (apart from maybe Quinn's, which was a bit harsh).

Not entirely sure about the penalty. Would have to see it again (again). FLS said he gave it for handball, but I thought it may have been more for a raised boot on Donaldson. Certainly a VERY harsh one if he did give it for handball.

5 from me, best ref we've had all season and what a time for that.

[The Red Baron]

Very good performance. Didn't play to the home crowd as so many would have done. I am still a little unsure as to why the penalty was given- I'm assuming for a high boot, which is what McCombe seemed to think.

I see Mr Oliver is reffing the Scouse Derby this weekend, so he's clearly highly thought of.

He's coming along as a ref, is Mr O, but I just wish he wouldnt give the death stare out all the time.  Smile FFS, you maungy t**t.  If you want to look like Per Luigi Collina, get your head shaved.

thought the ref was great
