shefcanary 2,410 Posted March 9 Bejeesus, that's some record! How the hell has he got a promotion to the Champs! It must mean the current champs ref list is not something the officials have much faith in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, his appointment to today’s game was made on Monday. As was Madley’s to Coventry’s game today. Well before everything that went on at Middlesbrough.

dylanisabaddog 4,931 Posted March 9 In one 8 game stretch he issued 53 yellows and 5 reds. That must be a record Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who'd have thought it? 😅😅 Yeah, lots of people don’t realise they are often made before a previous round of games though, particularly when there is a midweek round of fixtures. I’m thinking more of the people complaining yesterday about Madley being ‘rewarded’ with Coventry’s game today, rather than you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,248 Posted March 9 Well he obviously likes to let the game flow! A quite astonishing record. It really doesn't bode well for any player that tackles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,432 Posted March 9 141 yellows (including the second reds) in 27 games? Average yellows are now around 4.5 per game since refs were encouraged to book time wasting . (Stats from Dec 2023) This guy is leading the charge! Thought they would bury him with a home banker . We’ll see. strange how he isn’t on a televised game with top four team. That’s how refs get picked folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CANARYKING 639 Posted March 9 I thought he referreed very well today, only one booking and that was correct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted March 9 I could have reffed the game today but he was fine, aside from the harsh Gibbs yellow I didn't see anything wrong with his performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,444 Posted March 9 That Gibbs Yellow was a tick in a box. These refs are quota driven weirdos. Get back to your ring road travelodge you weirdo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,677 Posted March 9 Shouldn't have been refereeing in the champs so kept it quiet although it was possibly the easiest game available to ref. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Staggering I’ve been to several Wombles v MK Dons games and they are very feisty occasions. Imo he probably managed well not to send anyone off, but the 12 cards thing is clearly not the norm. He didn’t have too many contentious decisions to make today but reffed it well - no complaints at all, the Gibbs card was probably fair enough. You’re being extremely harsh.
