S27 22 Posted August 24 Very poor performance from today’s referee. Was very reluctant to rule in favour of Norwich. Alarmingly eager to yellow card City players but reluctant on punishing Sheffield infringements. Surprised that he didn’t book any of the ball boys! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted August 24 Certainly was noted by the players - Stacey was booked for pulling one of their guys back, a while later he had the same done to him and the ref didn’t card their guy; he was not at all pleased and made his feelings well known. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 211 Posted August 24 Right at the end of the match, it looked like he booked the assistant referee for entering the field of play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,765 Posted August 24 Unhinged referee genuinely, what is wrong with them? Is it because they failed to become footballers that they act this way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,791 Posted August 24 (edited) Josh Smith. 4 games on the prem last year. 1 year before. Not good enough for the prem so we get him. Thought he was poor. Inconsistent . The shirt pull yellow / not yellow was bizarre. Found ways to give yellows in the first half . Duffys was pathetic.

The Real Buh 3,765 Posted August 24 Let me tell you a story about this ref before the game he was warming up near the south stand and he beckoned over one of the female game day staff members over and told her to get the kids to stop waving flags and to move back from the touchline so he could go on one run down the touchline towards the away fans and then he trotted in Again, what is wrong with them? Why are they like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary73 327 Posted August 24 I thought last week's was bad but this week's was much worse. Pretty much gave them everything all game and the yellows he gave us were pretty poor - I'd except a couple of them but there was no balance from him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looked for decisions to make at times. Booking Thurup on 93 mins was bonkers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that was for that frantic 30 secs towards the end where there were a few lunges and he let all of it go which was to the City bench's frustration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nik Vawn 344 Posted August 24 Every foul seemed to be worthy of a card……if you had a yellow shirt….or even if you didn’t foul…but wore a yellow shirt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
