Referee

[Steve Down South]

It was never going to be easy but I thought Andrew Madley had a great game.  Good to see game flow, I thought he judged mood well as no real malice in any of challenges.

Said in the other thread he's the best in the division he'll be gone in the summer tho he just missed out on being appointed to the elite panel for the Premier League this summer 

[darra]

thought a couple of our yellows were harsh and they could've had at least one, but yes other than that a good ref.

[graz gp]

He is the best ref I have seen this season, kept the game flowing. It makes a change from the crap we usually get. Uto

[gableratchet]

Thought he was really good tonight, let the game flow. 

[s6 owl]

He had what 99% of other refs in the football league don't have, common sense.

[leono]

Had a pretty solid game, wasn't phased by the atmosphere.

 

Wasn't sure on the pen though, would have to see that again.

Agreed. Nice to see him letting tackles go and playing advantage. Good for him. Much better to watch.

He gave the pen because pig players had been in his ear when he didn’t give a foul for the tackle by Joey on Duffy a few minutes before.

 Next challenge involving Duffy was always going to be given in their favour 

[Hirstys Salopettes]

For me in real time at the game my impression was that Duffy left his leg out, felt contact and then went down in stages ... when the ref blew I was convinced he was going to book Duffy for simulation.  This impression was not eased by the Ginger two hat picking himself up then giving it the big uns to our fans.  Justice that Old Man Pogba missed the ‘pen’.

 

other than that, ref seemed ok, nothing more, nothing less 

[Mr. Tom]

Yeah he stood out to me too, knew it was a derby and let some tasty bits go, but never looked like losing control for a second.

 

And to be fair, the players never put him in that position. It was a hotly contested affair but nobody was actually a bellend apart from massive soft cheat Duffy for a second.

 

That cruncher between Reach and whoever the random pig was, and the gentlemanly high five after, was actually really heartwarming.

Although I hated it obviously, don't touch them you'll get bacon rash etc
