Shocking, disgraceful performane allowed Rochdale to get aeay with all kinds of thuggery and pulled Rovers up everytime one of theirs went down

[glosterred]

Absolutely shocking

If only there was a negative score available. An awful performance and worst I've seen for a long time.

Well I'm sure if he could made our score -1 instead of nil he would have

[RoversAlias]

One of the worst ever seen, I said he barely deserved a -50 on Twitter so the 0 feels very generous.

[Donnywolf]

At last a Ref I can give 0 to with a clear conscience

Cant really expect him to send the bloke off in the first minute for a first foul but he could have !

I will give him the benefit of the doubt over 4 Penalties. I saw them once in real time when he was much closer

He stood like the Statue of Liberty for almost all the second Half pointing to his watch indicating he would add time and yet still added only 5 minutes

That said I will give him NIL and his Assistant West Stand Muppet NIL too

I mistakenly thought he (The "Ref") would not "fall for" their "tactics" but he DID the useless contemptible t**t

I'm not sure if the West StNd lino knew what he was doing, his flaggung appeared very random

[The Red Baron]

I thought the referee in the Rochdale league game was very poor. This one was much worse. Allowed Rochdale to do pretty much what they liked. Also the arm challenge on Coppinger was a blatant a penalty as you'll ever see.

Absolutely shocking.

[Filo]

This is why the refs assesor report should be made public, surely the assesor saw how shite he was

[Not Now Kato]

Without a shadow of doubt, the worst Ref we've had all season so far.  I truly can't think that we'll see worse than that for the remainder of the season. Incompetent, ineffectual and clearly biased.
 
This guy is clearly not fit for the job,  a 0 from me - and that's being kind.

[drfc1951]

Sorry i clicked on wrong button meant to give 0 but gave one by mistake.

[selby]

 I didn't think his performance could get any worse after the first 30 seconds. It did.

[drfchound]

Probably......... I actually did think that the ref might have been cheating.
The last time I thought it was the Portsmouth-Russell fiasco.

Why are we not surprised by this.
Woolmer is a shocking ref.
I wonder whether Nolan will get fined?
As he says though, nothing will come of his complaint and Woolmer will get another match next week.

It looked like a clear deliberate handball to me.  The TV replay showed that his feet were outside the box and the arm that handled the ball was inside the box.  For me that's a penalty, but I'm not certain on the rule?  As for the 8 minutes, who knows what the ref added the extra minute on for - maybe a substitute in added time, may be time wasting?  I think Nolan is clearly disappointed, but if the boot was on the other foot, I think he would have wanted the penalty and would be cursing the ref if he hadn't given it.
