Needs to retire, an absolutely appalling referee.
Not going to criticise him because he did an oustanding job dealing with the steward injury situation
Was always going to be that way with him. He averages about 3 booking a match hasn’t sent anyone off all season and only awarded 2 penalties. At times we have to be careful what we wish for. Think I’d sooner watch a match that finishes 11 v 11 and I can moan about not getting a penalty rather than a ref who thinks we’ve all come to watch him.Needs to retire, an absolutely appalling referee.
Which was the blatant handball?Yes, fair play to him for the steward incident, excellent job. Spotting a blatant handball inside penalty areas, not so much.

it wasn't a handball.First half one was blatant from block 24 arm made his silhouette bigger.
Adomah dives across the keeper with his arm out and effectivly saves the shot before it inevitably hit Marshall anywayWhich was the blatant handball?

Not convinced by the first (O'Hare?). Can see why not given - definitely hits his arm but debatable about "making the silhouette bigger" & it was pretty close proximity.
Thought at the time the Waghorn one was a penalty & still think so having seen it again. As others have said, players were adamant too.
Another angle would be telling (not that the ref has that luxury of course but he did have a well placed assistant).

I sit in line with the assistant and it’s not easy to tell.
the club gave him a free room in the hotel for a few nights, with an electric blanket and plenty of pureed vegetables. He's been watching Countdown since Saturday whilst recharging his hearing aid, and is now 'raring to go'.He’s apparently back again tonight as fourth official, the useless tosser
