Vaulks - booked for throwing a man to ground

 

Barnes - on a second yellow does same, nothing

 

Yep, the easiest decision he had to make all night and he completely bottled it.

Awful ref as ever. You get numb to it after a while at Hillsborough.

preposterously bad decision not to apply the laws of the game to send Barnes off. Easiest decision he was presented with all night and bottled it. You do sometimes look at at decisions like that and think  he must have been paid off. There is simply no explanation for the decision. 

Terrible terrible ref (and probably not in the top 5 worst we have had…)

Irony is he’s from the Prem. funny how ******** ******** they are without VAR isn’t it, seems like all the prem refs have become overly reliant on VAR that they’ve forgot how to referee a game for themselves.

If outmuscling a defender on the byline is a foul then you can call football a non contact sport.

 

 

This ref would be better off officiating Darts

He made some baffling decisions towards the end, not booking a player who he (or his assistant) saw throw one of our players to the floor off the ball being a key highlight. Overall he was far from the worst though.

 

There was a strange incident after the final whistle though, as one of Norwich's backroom staff went to shake hands with him and refused to let go while agressively giving him a piece of his mind. The ref was physically trying to snatch his hand away and looked well pissed off as he went down the tunnel.

I called it before kick off. Premier League refs are terrible when they ref championship games. Absolutely bottled the Ashley Barnes incident and fell for Norwich players falling to the floor every time.

F*ck me we’ve had some shockers this season but that idiot is right up there.

Horrific 

 

For me worst was V Coventry he seemed to absolutely everything wrong for both teams, including giving them a free kick and booking their player for the foul 😆 

 

Next Rebecca Welsh in any game she been involved in.

 

Then this clown, he seemed to get worse as the game went on, like he just got bored and couldn't be arsed.

And this was around the same time as Vaulk's it's not like it's was 40 minutes later and he forgot, made himself a complete bell

I actually thought he was doing a good job in the first half.  Let a lot of fouls go and the game flowed.

 

not sure what happened to make him change approach in the 2nd half, as every minor touch on a Norwich player was a free kick.  Smith got no protection and two arm pushes in the back weren’t deemed a free kick to us.  The Ashley Barnes incident summed him up….absolutely shocking as it was exactly the same as what Vaulks did.

Couldn’t believe this at the time. 
 

So frustrating when it’s as obvious as it was.

We have had a lot worse this season, not saying he was good, but seen really poor refs. The last 15 mins reminded me of a bar brawl in a western, there were a lot of Norwich players getting flung about, if he had whistled for every offence we would have lost that momentum.
