S27 22 Posted February 17 Another decent performance. Allowed the play to continue & brought back for free kicks when no obvious advantage. Good decision on yellow cards. Only minor criticism is didn’t clamp down on Cardiiff’s time wasting after they scored and tried to kill the game off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted February 17 Yeah, he was fine. He's got a few PL games under his belt, used his common sense and let the game flow as best he could. Not too many contentious decisions to deal with, the game was played in a pretty good spirit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petriix 3,217 Posted February 17 I'm not totally convinced. I think McCallum was fouled in the box twice and there were a bunch of other fouls not given or obvious yellow cards that he kept in his pocket. The fact is that we were so good that it didn't matter but, on another day, might have made a difference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of those McCallum fouls was, I presume, the one where he crossed the ball for Barnes's offside goal? That one was outside the box. Surprised he didn't bring it back for a free-kick when the flag went up, to be honest, but in those situations the offside call seems to trump the foul...

There was another one down the Barclay end where he was in a footrace with the defender. Got just inside the corner of the box and stuck his leg out to get contact. It was a savvy little move and the sort of thing VAR gives regularly. No-go in the Championship though. In a broad sense I didn't mind the ref. there were a few questionable offsides and no card for an NFL-style tackle late on, but generally stayed out of the way when he could. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it struck me as a relatively easy game to referee by Championship standards. In games where you're able to stay in the background and not have to chuck your cards around, always best to do so. And unless it's an absolute stonewaller, you're always going to attract less attention by not giving a penalty than you are by giving it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
