sdc1978 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I thought after everything that has happened recently, the ref last night was spot on - just what we needed. Very good game and well officiated by him and his assistants - well done to them and everyone who was there who really got behind the team, perfect 3 points - lovely jubbly! Very horse today!

awilko Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Agree with that and he played the advantage very very well and brought it back when needed, top stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubStixx Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I agree. I thought the ref did well, and that reminds me, was Haynes inside the area or not when he was running towards the East End and got brought down??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Very horse today! Good post - glad the ref didn't have a 'mare' and we didn't play 'hoof' football ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Cigar Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I agree. I thought the ref did well, and that reminds me, was Haynes inside the area or not when he was running towards the East End and got brought down??? My initial reaction was outside the box. Same again in the second. Referee was indeed excellent after Saturday's joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Was worried that we wouldn't get any decisions but I thought he was very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonwheeler Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Totally agree - one of the best we have had at Ashton for a very long time. Refereed with a smile and was not whistle happy. Also not a "name". I have heard that he also had a quiet word with someone in the vicinity of our bench that if Jamie Mac brought down Routledge one more time he would have no alternative than to reach for his pocket AGAIN - Therefore GJ quickly got him off??? If so THANKS ref - You are welcome any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I know a guy who used to be a referee and he says commonsense decision making is somewhat frowned upon by the FA :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Also thought the ref was very good and he has only referred one game before at champonship level. I suspect he will now get many more. The Haynes foul, at the time I thought was a yard inside the box, but watching it again on BCplayer, it was just outside the box and a correct decsion.

sdc1978 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Anyone actually know what the ref's name was? I think it's worth mentioning it again just so we can look out for him!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaloneFM Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Referee: Mr P Gibbs Assistants: Mr H W Lennard & S J Phipps Fourth Official: Mr S J Barrow Phil Gibbs from the West Midlands will take charge of his first QPR game on Tuesday night against Bristol City. The official has been in the business since 1993 but was only promoted to the national list of referees in 2008 after several years taking charge in the Conference. He got his first taste of Conference football in 2003 when he oversaw Hereford United`s 5-1 win over Forest Green Rovers. The very next game he dished out his first red card when Accrington`s Paul Cook was sent off in their 1-0 victory over Scarborough. After four more seasons battling away with non-league football he finally broke into the Football League in the 2008-09 season, predominantly taking charge of League Two fixtures. During the season he was given more responsibility in League One before taking charge of his one and only Championship fixture to date - Swansea`s thumping home win over Preston North End (4-1). He caused controversy in a League One fixture between Bristol Rovers and Millwall when he sent off two players Gary Alexander (Millwall) and Steve Elliott (Rovers), the former a straight red for handball being rescinded on appeal. So far this season he has wasted no time in going to his book once again, sending off Rochdale`s Nathan Stanton for a professional foul, despite not being the last man when fouling Aldershot`s Marvin Morgan. The fixture against Bristol City marks his second Championship test in six years of officiating, which speaks volumes for the confidence that the hierarchy have in the official. Good lad Gibbo!
