Best ref of the season so far?

[Buzzer]

I thought so. It was a harsh red from what I saw on TV in the concourse today but a very good decision to play on for their second.

He was unobtrusive, let the game flow and some other stuff that I've forgotten.

You've forgotten some other stuff like "confusing everyone as to whether play had stopped". Twice.

Looking at the incidents on sky sports news it was a definite red card but we were fortunate to get the penalty.

 

[Buzzer]

Well, apart from the bits he got wrong, obviously.






Note to self - stay off NSC when pissed.

yeh the decision to stop for a "high foot" when the guy dived at the ball was ridiculous but he did a good job

sun was in my eyes for the red.. (and most of the first half) so cant comment

I was sat in the south stand with friends who are wolves fans (Bewdley where I live is a wolves stronghold) and even they agreed with the red card.

Playing on for their second goal was an excellent decision and for the penalty I thought he got it right as the defender was trying to do this silly thing of putting your arms behind your b ack but in the process flapped it straight at the ball.

All in all he had a very good and consistent game and managed to keep it flowing really well

7 out of 10 in my re

In general I'd agree Buzzer, he certainly wasn't whistle happy and petty. However, the drop ball he awarded was bizarre as we had good possession at the time and it wasn't our fault their player put his head right down to the ground to nearly get a boot in it, which he didn't get anyway so there was no need to stop the game in the first place.

Have to disagree with you on the straight red. He got that one spot on! Their excuse for a captain lunged in two footed it seemed to me, and that's about par for the course for his style of football I'm afraid. I'm all for it being a man's game and tough tackling but that's one player that really get's my blood boiling - one day he's going to hurt someone really badly (already broken Zamora's leg remember).

If one of the incidents is their second goal then I don't think we've any complaints there. Yes he had the whistle up to his mouth ready to blow but his arm gestures were clearly waving play on as they had possession. Good reffing there I think, clearly was ready to give the foul as he booked Dunk for it after the goal was scored, but let play on exactly as he should.
