Poor display for a premier league ref, and the East stand lino was a disgrace, his reaction time to that offside decision was slightly slower than a corpse!

I'd say worse than that. Dowd couldn't keep up with the game, was so biassed towards the "big club", and had no control whatsoever.  Not fit to ref in the Sunday School League.
 
The West Stand lino was constantly looking to Dowd to tell him which way a throw in should be given and toally ignored blatent fouls by Leeds players, right under his nose.

And the East Stand lino - not fit to be called a human being.  Spineless git, totally intimidated by the Leeds fans.  I wouldn't pay him to clean toilets, he would get that all wrong too!

All in all, the worst set of officials I've seen this year.  Pity there isn't a minus figure in the voting numbers.

Pretty poor for Premier League officials.

They were poor for both Teams but deffo seemed to have a "big club bias" for sure

.... AND as with Refs and Linos in general they let foul throw after foul throw go unpunished ... is it mandatory now NOT to put the ball behind your head ?
