In his 13 matches this season he has dished out 57 yellow and 2 red cards.
He reffed our 2-1 win against Huddersfield in the BSM match in September.
Overall he has taken four of our matches, all at home and we have won them all.

Bump

He's now 5 for 5 but I'm giving him 1 because he had one enormous call for the dragging back of Hurst Edit Clifton  ? and blew it

Ironically he gave us a foul which imo looked innocuous as he dare not ignore it just a few seconds later

[The Red Baron]

I like his relaxed style of refereeing,  but I'm afraid he ducked the big decision. Harry Clifton was fouled by Bonds when he was through on goal. An obvious DOGSO, but he chose not to award the free-kick which would inevitably be followed by a red card.  Otherwise,  I would have given him 5 for not throwing cards around,  but the most I can give him is a 3.

Not one player booked today.
I can’t recall that happening for ……
Well actually I simply can’t recall it happening before.
