Oh no - a reminder of the Rotherham debacle

[The Red Baron]

Funny how it is the same referee AND assistants. Or maybe not...

[Donnywolf]

They may be the only ones who agree to work with him !

Cant go more than 1.

This bloke is consistenty p-o-o-r.

Rightly gave a Yellow to Ben Whiteman for "a one for the Team" foul more or less on half way

Did not give a Yellow to their Number 2 who took Wilks out in a more threatening position after being totally "done" by him. Nor did he produce one when the same Player chopped a Rovers player down who would have been away on Goal only 2 minutes later. He then did a further Foul on Marquis some 5 minutes later again no Yellow. Note to Ref : You have to be consistent

He also gave a foul to the Bunnies right on the Corner of the 18 yard box and the keeper threw it a good 20 yards forwards. Ref correctly gestured for it to go back to the point where the Fould had been done. He did not and just went half way back. JM protested too long and was Yellow Carded for what the Ref judged as time wasting but JM was only pointing out the obvious. No brownie Points to either

He did not award a Penalty when JM was tripped well inside the area in what looked a certain Pen. The Lino came to his rescue

So 1 Point - he is not very good
