Had eleven matches so far this season. (Source Soccerbase)
Two red cards and thirty six yellows so not as card happy as many we have had.

Can someone put a minus on here - he was shocking
Penalties
Their player holding his head and then giving the keeper the ball
Number 25 and 8 both should have been booked in the first half
Don’t start me on timekeeping

[Donnywolf]

Nil a total clown.

He might be forgiven for not recognizing fouls in the Penalty area but no excuse for not being able to do something basic like tell the ******* time correctly

[Not Now Kato]

A 4? Somebody gave him a 4? Perhaps it was meant to be -4

[roversdude]

Is the ref allowed to vote here, can’t see anyone else giving him a 4
5.5 hours later I’m still fuming

[The Red Baron]

I thought he was OK at the start and deteriorated as the game progressed.  The wrestling on Jay McGrath should have led to a penalty. The late one, the holding on Molyneux which started outside the box was a penalty and a red card,  and it was a sheer bottle job. A very poor referee overall.

[Chris Black come back]

Thought he was broadly ok. Gave him a 3.

[Champagne Super Rovers]

I thought he did OK apart from bottling the penalty decision on Molyneux.   I think the red card issue makes refs more reluctant to give the penalty in those situations.

Possibly so.
In the case of the not given last minute pen it was the County number four doing the fouling and he had been booked after an incident in the SW corner in the first half so even (a second) yellow for conceding the pen would have meant a sending off.
