GrahamC Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Loads of people say he used to be funny but isn’t anymore. Well today’s performance was pure comedy, absolutely clueless referee. 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke_bristol Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Really poor, should probably drop down a couple of divisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Very poor but also could and probably should have been a pen by Pring at the end. He’s recklessly dived in there, we’d be raging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 @GrahamC loves himself. Not as bad as others on my list, but he bottled the Ballard challenge on Sykes early on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the replay, Pring has barely touched him, and Ballard was heading down before the contact…so basically in the act of diving. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep after the replay my thoughts changed… but the ref doesn’t get a replay. I was surprised it wasn’t given is what I’m saying, especially with his performance today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 To be fair he has given us two penalties and I'm pretty sure there are no other current refs who can say that! 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things wrong with this. 1. I've never understood why teams in the lower divisions of the EFL are any less deserving of a decent referee from those higher up the pyramid. 2. The referees of the PL and those who regularly referee the Championship are not better and are of the same shocking standard as their lower league colleagues. Whire refereeing gets harder year on year we unfortunately have the lowest standard of officials for over 50 years. Despite the introduction of high resolution imaging they continually make mistakes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie BCFC Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Don’t think I’ve ever been so critical of a referee who gave us a penalty. Horrendous for both teams, thought we were both denied stonewall penalties 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I thought we should of had 2 and them 1. Very odd performance thought Williams was a bit lucky as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middsie Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Clearly another one who is totally egocentric. The taking hold of the ball a couple of times when play broke down and placing it in front of their keeper once and MOL the other time and then sprinting like usain to the centre circle was proper wierd. Swanky Audi with a personal plate in the car park too. Knob! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I’m the other end of the pitch but I think he bottles the Sykes penalty because he knew he’d have to send off the defender as well . He looked shaken for a bit after that . Terrible performance 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or what would be their motivation? Sure you're the best ref in the country, but today you've got Bristol Rovers v Fleetwood. Charming. 2. The referees of the PL and those who regularly referee the Championship are not better and are of the same shocking standard as their lower league colleagues. I doubt this. But you aren't tricking me into watching Da Gas to prove it. Whire refereeing gets harder year on year we unfortunately have the lowest standard of officials for over 50 years. Despite the introduction of high resolution imaging they continually make mistakes. Years ago the refs were amateur and had very limited scrutiny, it's a different game now. Roger Milford ran a newsagents for Pete's sake. You can forgive him for getting a decision or two wrong at 3pm when he was probably up at 5am setting out the morning papers for the paperboys. And everyone makes mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
