[The Red Baron]

Always a bit of a mixed bag. I did see him do the Solihull Moors v Yeovil FA Cup replay this season and thought he had a good game.

0. Single-handedly gave that to Blackpool. Worst refereeing performance since Mick Russell.

[glosterred]

Gave us nothing and Blairs first booking was a 50/50 challenge that there player came off second best.

COYR

[Dagenham Rover]

Awful again and if you are going to book players after less than 3 minutes you have to carry on not give all the yellows to one team and not the other for similar offences rovers 4+1red Blackpool zilch

[drfchound]

It's a nil from me too.
Cost us points today for sure.
Which dumpling gave him a five?

A Plymouth fan?

At the time I thought his pen decisions were correct, haven't had the benefit of replays and neither did he but he appeared to overule the lino for 2nd. Bad mistake to book Blair so early made a rod for his own back but then backed out of showing the yellow on several other occasions when he should have based on the Blair card. Too quick to get the card out for Blairs 2nd challenge and then had no choice. But we didn't help our selves with how poor we were today

[The Red Baron]

We've had a number of poor referees this season but this one also made some game changing decisions.

When he booked Blair I assumed he was operating a zero tolerance approach and I expected 10 or more bookings. Instead he let most things go until Blair committed a foul (not as bad as it first looked) and was off.

The first penalty was a clear handball by Baudry. No argument on that. But the second was outside the box- very similar to the one given against Leicester last week. The lino, who was generally poor, did seem to suggest it was outside and bizarrely he pointed to a spot outside the box but still allowed the penalty.

He struck me as a referee who wanted to be the centre of attention. Never a good sign. Hopefully we will not see him again but I won't hold my breath.

Big fat zero.

[Donnywolf]

Total Muppet who has eclipsed his previous "best" of 14 x Nil votes by a mile

He did get some of the bigger things right but by and large he is a total stranger to the art of Refereeing and got masses of other things wrong

At least he is consistent. Consistently a Muppet of the highest order

[The Red Baron]

The foul / card count is interesting.

Rovers 9 fouls, 3 yellows, 1 red

Blackpool 10 fouls, 0 yellows, 0 reds.

[PopStander]

Blair's first yellow he slipped, never a yellow.

Second penalty even linesman pointed it was outside of area.

We were poor, but the ref was horrific

[IDM]

A Kitson.

The second penalty debacle was ridiculous.  We might not have played well enough ourselves in the second half to win, despite the ref, but we deserved to hold on for the draw.

0 from me.
