Cannot fathom why anyone would give a zero, we've had far, far worse in the last year and equally how could anyone give a 10. I think some folk are taking the piss now.
I didn’t/ couldn’t go today so no mark from me. I do think the 10 is a piss taker though. The 10 out 10 game has never been ref’d yet.
Not many worse. Penalty for their 1st looked soft. Soft free kicks against us, none for them for similar offences. Missed de Gevigney's tug back for what should have been a 2nd yellow and a sending off. Time wasting from their goalie from the 1st half allowed to go. Further time wasting from their goalie allowed to go on without a booking.
I hate picky refs. He seemed to blow every time there was contact. He didn’t pick up on their time wasting bar one yellow at a corner and they were doing it since the moment they scored. He let them run the game today. Please note that this is in no way an excuse for our shameful performance which was definitely worse than the refs.
Indicated a minimum of 5 minutes added on in first half, warned a player for time wasting DURING that 5 minutes and yet blew the whistle after 4 minutes 50 seconds. Sums up his flagrant disregard for the rules of his job
I know the ref probably doesn't calculate this but the second half had 6 subs, 3 goals and more timewasting than I have seen all season. Yet only 5 mins added. I know I should be grateful, just wanted to go home anyway.
Down towards our legends stand their player was stood waiting to receive the ball from a team mate to take a throw in and the red told him to hurry up. Yes ref he should take a throw in with the imaginary invisible ball.
The inconsistency of getting booked for timewasting at 6-0 up for a casually taken goal kick vs Port Vale, vs their goalie today not getting booked for spanning several geological ages with every single restart was mildly infuriating.
Unless it's a bribed ref I have no complaints and never have, but what about the Liverpool sending off I think it was totally correct some might say harsh but it could have ended up with a leg in two pieces.
Rather worryingly about standards in the league, at Portsmouth yesterday they had to get a fan who was a local referee in as the ref and 4th official got injured. Cheltenham had to agree otherwise game was going to get abandoned, Cheltenham boss said afterwards he was the best ref they have had this season.
