Excellent tonight, on the ball & up with play in complete control all match, can’t think of hardly any issues to moan about about we had a decent one too.

Excellent tonight, on the ball & up with play in complete control all match, can’t think of hardly any issues to moan about about we had a decent one too.

Didn’t get to my regular analysis yet so I’ll jump in here.Spent the first 20 mins playing between ifollow and hesgoal trying to get/lineup picture and comms.
I actually thought he missed a lot and was one of the weaker refs we’ve had lately. Not sure about the 3 on the goalie early on. It looked offside to me but haven’t played back. Hyam lucky not to get a yellow and couldn’t have complained too much about a red.
I was ready to give him a 5

Thought he was crap personally. Not just for us. But there were a few fouls not given, then a few that were which definitely weren’t (McCallum putting it through their defenders legs and then falling over, for one). Blatant corner to us not given. 6 minutes added time (what?!). Got the booking correct.

 

[Perryccfc]

I was getting annoyed with him. I may have had my sky blue glasses on, but it seemed Everytime we were tight to their forwards he would blow straight away, but when they did it to Godden and Tyler he let it go.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I thought he was really poor for both sides. Missed a ton of fouls after the ball had gone but seemed to give a lot of really soft fouls in other instances.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I've got to be honest, normally I would be well into discussing the official and their performance, but tonight I couldn't give a fuck.

 

[usskyblue]

More whistles than Moss Bros m8

 

[Frostie]

Really, really poor.

I think the fact he was happy to let Rotherham take that final free kick from inside our half despite it being given for offside kind of summed up his night.

Took our players pointing it out before he realised.

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

Missed a few obvious ones (for both sides I thought) but didn’t change the game with his ineptitude, so for that reason I’ll let him off. Meh

Someone in the match thread suggested that sky were trying to force their keeper to go off because he kept swearing

 

[chiefdave]

Wasn't really any major issues but more because nothing major came up than his level of competence. Seemed to miss a lot of minor stuff that for me was well above letting the game flow.

 

[Briles]

One of those refereeing performances where if we had lost we would be slating him. Let a lot go.

 

[pusbccfc]

Intially felt like he was on top of the Rotherham dark tactics but then began letting them go.

 

[Speedies_Chips]

I was glad he was letting a lot go actually, but I think his worst mistake was penalising Hamer in their box when 2 of their defenders collided with eachother. I don't know how he was a foul there.

 

[Marty]

Thought he was crap and got worse throughout the game, that olesundae(sp?) made 5 fouls before he was even spoken too. Constant diving by both teams, was a poor performance from him but got the 3 points and that's all that matters.

 

[covcity4life]

Everyone moans about how soft the sport has become but as soon as ref doesnt blow whistle for every challe he he's shit and the other team are bullies lol

 

[cov donkey kick]

Seemed to let the game flow and fairly even and not many issues.but who cares we won.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I thought he was really poor for both sides. Missed a ton of fouls after the ball had gone but seemed to give a lot of really soft fouls in other instances.

Not to mention the blatant shirt pulling he let go time and again. Can see our players getting frustrated particularly Godden. And even Wilson was grabbed when trying to kick it quickly. Luckily for him his retaliatory fling of arms didn't catch their striker.

Yep this. Got a few of the basics wrong-still I guess trying to find his feet at this level after being the “best official in Australia”
Didn’t get the foul against Hamer when we were on the break late on for the life of me. Let one or two things go early doors which could have resulted in loss of match control. Luckily for him it didn’t escalate and come to that.

Exactly this.
Think I said it in the match thread at the time but the potentially nasty Hyam collision only came about as he missed 2 blatant pushes in the back of first Kelly & then McCallum.

The Hyam challenge wasn't a bad challenge

Back in the day”foul and abusive language” was a red card offence (maybe still is?)

Agree with this. Let a lot go early; more than just letting the game flow. Then he had a spell of blowing for everything before again letting some quite blatant fouls go unpunished. No real obvious major errors by him and he was even handed.
