Dire. Missed at least 2 handballs and doled out yellows to our lads for stuff he let Lincoln get clean away with.

For me he was pretty  good. Although  that lad that dived in the box looking for a penalty  should have been booked

Very poor ref.
Seemed reluctant to book any Lincoln players despite some crude challenges and dives.
The late tackle on John in the first half was certainly worth a yellow as was the persistent fouling of Ennis in the first half........and what about the booking of Sterling after a full blooded 50/50 tackle near the end of the match.
It wasn’t even a foul.

Agreed - and what about the foul on Ennis as he was blasting past their CB (not Shackell the other one) in inside left position after 20 ish minutes ?

The rules say a pull back = Yellow but the Ref gave nowt

Then when Ennis pulled back someone 80 yards from his own goal in the second half (almost in the identical spot to where he had been fouled) the Ref immediately pulled out a Card.

He was correct to do so BUT was lax in applying the same rule when it was more "blatant"

Super muppet big fat 0

Currently averaging 1.38 which imo is 1.38 too many.

[Dagenham Rover]

ok (ish)  but too inconsistent

[glosterred]

Could have done better, they all could, but actually got the big decision on their pen claims just about right.
