Only other time he seems to have Reffed us was amazingly against the same Oppos Fleetwood

He got 4 votes of 4 and one vote of 3 - which tells me 2 things

a) he cant have been half bad because he scored highly and there were so few people voting. Usually a bad Ref = lots of Posts

b) I must have been ill and missed voting.

[Donnywolf]

No such luxury this time - he was appalling for several reasons - not least letting Fleetwood kick us out of our stride again and again

My first impression was that Marosi was outside the Area but I could be convinced otherwise. All I spoke to were West Standers and all thought it looked a dubious Pen

[The Red Baron]

An absolutely atrocious referee. I don't know whether their penalty was inside or outside, although it has to be said it was poor by both Butler and Marosi. However, Husband should have been sent off and he totally failed to get to grips with their constant fouling.

At one point both Beestin and May were taken out off the ball. He waved play on because we had the ball but he failed to go back and book the offenders. How he didn't book the 29 for going through Marquis defied belief.

[Donnywolf]

... and Marquis was "hooked" too just before that

He does look for fouls a lot but on that occasion the bloke had a whole arm round his neck completely stopping his run

Muppet - the Ref not Marquis of course

I can only think the refs at the KM and Catle Park were swapped around yesterday
