Totally agree. Everybody around us were saying how he tried to let the game flow. A lot of refs would have been blowing for a needless free kick with some of the sliding challenges today including the ball winning tackle FF won just before smashing into the top corner. The ref was a breath of fresh air today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm an Essex Owl Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I didn't notice we had a ref today and never used the C word once. So I reckon that means he was fab. Even got the sending off spot on and didn't bottle it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. I spotted it was 22 minutes before he gave a free-kick. Unfussy reffing at its best. Total opposite of that utter power-crazed useless kernob we had in the MK Dons nil-nil two seasons ago where he utterly ruined an scintillating second half by deciding to take centre-stage by blowing for EVERYTHING.

When the ref is decent we usually win. It's the crap ones that cheat us out of points who are the promble. name me one decision he gave our way that he shouldn't?

They would have to be even more biased than your average Wednesdayite then I am usually the worst at criticising refs and giving them a hard time but I would be amazed if they blamed the ref for today. They should blame their strikers who could not have scored in the proverbial house of ill repute today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonads, we had one of the worst refs when we beat Preston 4-1 the other week. I know it shouldn't but it winds me up when people comment on a ref when they haven't even been. The referee was quality today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several times this season we have won and the consensus was that the ref was w@/k . Then we have the pinnacle of w@/k / useless / paid off / bent / biased / mate of Bruce / scared of Terry rattling his missus ( delete as applicable ) in swarbrick .

Didn't comment on the referees performance, just pointed out that fans tend to say the ref was good when we win. I'm on holiday which is why I didn't go, in not a part time season ticket refunder.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 He was decent though he could have been a little sensible and dished a yellow rather than a red. I like 11 v 11 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 For once a referee who didn't stop the game for every bit of physical contact, blew his whistle only when absolutely necessary in order to let the game flow. Was it coincidence there was very little play acting and feigning injury or did the players just realise they wouldn't easily 'win' fouls with this ref. in charge. Best we've seen in a long while. Only criticism really was the sending off where he seemed to be influenced by the crowd reaction Correct by the letter of the law but could have settled it with a yellow card and a ticking off for both players.
