Poor he missed loads of things for both sides.

Disappointing and very inconsistent especially with the yellow cards.  The only obvious one he got right was Furman's second.  What about their no 14?

And as for the lino raising his flag and putting it down again - terrible.  Even if you know the decision is wrong, make it anyway.  Better a mistaken but assertive decision than indecision.

Watching the game on TV gives you a different perspective. When Wellens was pulled up for the foul which led to their goal i was shouting "no way, ref." But replays showed the decision was correct, as was his decision not to give a penalty for Coppinger's dive- another one that had me out of my seat.

I thought he was good, although a couple of Yeovil players- and Wellens- were lucky not to go in the book.

And Linos should NEVER take their flag down once they've put it up unless the ref calls "play on." OK, he's flagged an inactive player, but better to err there than have the defence stop and concede a goal as a result.

I agree with the lino sticking with his decision RB, but on the other side the players should play to the whistle and not the flag
