Olé Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hasn't refereed Coventry for five years, these are his only recent games for us, from what I can see hasn't refereed at Ashton Gate before: 2011/12 Watford Away (2-2) - 1 booking (Watford) 2010/11 Burnley Away (0-0) - 5 bookings (McAllister, Rose, and Amougou for Burnley) also awarded Burnley a penalty when Danny Haynes fouled their player in the box and waved play on when Stead brought down by Amougou clear through on goal 2009/10 Ipswich Away (0-0) - 2 bookings (Williams) and disallowed a late Ipswich goal for going in direct from a throw-in Blackpool Away (1-1) - 4 bookings (Carey, Sproule, Hartley, Akinde) on Sky TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtonphil Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have heard of him - not sure if that is a good or a bad thing though... Is he a Prem ref or not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Nope, not refereed in the Prem. Lower league ref, did a League 2 Playoff Semi Final last season at Torquay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 He's only given 2 red cards this season, 1 in the East Midlands derby on Sky to the Derby keeper after only 3 minutes (Forest converted the penalty) and 1 to Plymouth defender when they were knocked out of the cup by Stourbridge. Has given 5 penalties, 88 yellows and 2 straight reds in 36 games - so apparently a referee who keeps his cards in his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 And Mathieson is a close 2nd. The guy's a fool but then, most officials are nowadays. Last nights disallowed 2nd proved it. I hope a dodgy decision doesnt cost us. Hopefully 3 nil and cov down to 9 men will do it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 My vague recollection of the Burnley game he did last season is that he wasn't great, and the penalty they got was iffy at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashtonphil Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Fortunately his relaxed interpretation of the rules didn't cost us.. The keeper slipped when Andre scored as he had just pushed Stead and lost his footing, The Coventry player should have at least been cautioned for the tackle on Stead ( I was too far away to see anymore!!) Brett's red card -probably right., but he was over reliant on his linesmen (Asst refs!!) today - mainly because he was in the wrong position.

Gazred Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 The one on Stead was a cert yellow, went straight through him. Ref was poor today but didn't have a lot to deal with thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 He was a poisonous dwarf. The only man on the pitch shorter than Kilkenny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Don't know what you are talking about. Ref was best man on the pitch dispite disallowing our fourth goal. Well done Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 He wasn't brilliant, but not nearly as bad as some of the officials we've had this season. We've had some absolute stinkers go against us this season, but I can't help but feel sorry for the referees, there clearly aren't enough good ones coming through, and it's not their fault if they're not good enough, they only get one look after all...

I hope that's Scandavian sarcasm.... He was terrible, far too lax with his whistle and was inconsistent with his decisions. (Shoulder to shoulder is not a foul.. unless you wear a BCFC shirt!!)

Alex_BCFC Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thought he did fine. In first half he seemed to let a lot go and then second gave easy ones but overall a reasonable display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonboy Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Undoubtedly one of the better ones this season. As for being over reliant on his linesmen, I thought that it was a nice change to have a ref that actually respected their fellow professionals to trust in their abilities to spot fouls etc, rather than over rule them at every opportunity.

Spot on about the linos. Very little in football more irritating than watching a linesman wait to see what the ref gives (often from much further away) for a straightforward throw in or goal kick/corner kick decision. As fans we might think (often rightly so!) that officials get a lot wrong, but why even have linesmen if the ref doesn't allow them to make any decisions? It's always annoyed me.

Crackers Corner Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thought the ref was very good too, much better than the ref from the Forrest game. I thought he got he pitman one wrong until I saw the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thought the ref had a good game tbh, couldn't see Pitman red but from everyones reaction it seems justified. A rarity this season at the gate to have a ref of that quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
