First half, seven times Coton gained possession in our half, then lost possession, fell over and earned an unnecessary free kick. That's kidology and good refs are alert to it.

I believe the keeper should have had a red after taking out our player. Dangerous play, Keeper was very cute about the penalty incident. Wouldn't call it "a howler"- but I do think the ref bottled that one. By the noise the crowd were making I think a few more felt the same.

Last five minutes the ref had a sudden rush of blood to the head and started booking players, actually holding up the game with his indecision. I cannot comment on the correctness of the actual bookings because I was at the other end of the field.

You undoubtedly have better eyesight than me, so I'll take your word for it that most yellow cards were correct.

As you say I come to watch the teams. Not the ref. It wasn't imho a dirty game so a good ref would have kept it flowing and maybe not have been so card happy.

First half he overruled his linos several times when imo their decisions were correct in the first place. Second half he paid more attention to them.

Whether he cost us a goal or not is immaterial when assessing his overall performance. He did not cost us the game but he was inconsistent.


My opinion is by no means "expert " although I have refereed and run the line at Junior level. Often a thankless task and abuse is unnecessary.

FTR I was not the only one who though the ref did not have a great game. Generally I think this season's standard has been quite good.

Not that it matters. We won anyway. And yes, like most of the others there, I did enjoy the game.
