Thought he officiated that game extremely well.

He did let the game flow but the late challenges from Barnes that he let go on at least 3-4 occasions and that deserved a yellow card were not great. How he finished the match without a yellow card at all but Burns got one for 2-3 strong challenges, is inconsistent. Perhaps he never saw any of those challenges from Barnes but to have missed the one on Hladky and he did give a free-kick for the one where he trod on Morsy's foot after the ball had gone. If Morsy had done the same as Barnes we would all be saying he was an unbelievably lucky boy to have not got a card.


Did you see Morsy clatter someone first half and not get any of the ball? He immediately had to put his finger up to say it was his first one but more often than not it’s a yellow. I thought Barnes should have been booked with the late challenge on Vas for sure but I don’t think any of it today was massively one sided or warrants an entire discussion about the ref. In difficult circumstances thought was fairly decent as others journalists and ex players did. Let the game flow.

There would have been about 8-9 yellows from a lot of officials today.

Yeah, disagree. There were times he blew instead of playing advantage when there was actually an advantage, other times he didn't when there was no advantage. Thought he was very inconsistent and gave them stuff he wasn't giving the other way. For me, it was one of the poorer refereeing performances I've seen this season at Portman Road.


It was his inconsistency that made his performance so terrible for me.

I thought the ref was fine is the first half but dreadful in the second. We constantly got nothing for fouls which they were given free kicks for. And then we had assistant referees who seemingly didn't understand the offside law.

Sarcasm right?

Even helping up their players from rolling on the floor.

Burns get two hands in the back, then gets a foul against after winning the ball.

And as for the offsides…..

Not at all, much prefer watching the game flow - like today- than constant stop starting with niggling fouls and free kicks.

That's fine, but it should be fair for both sides. He happily blew up for fouls for them when similar challenges against us got nothing.

Because he thought we’d got possession of the ball in a decent position to allow playing advantage, that was refreshing.

Your preference for "watching the game flow" over us retaining key players instead of potentially losing them because of undeserved yellows, isn't a great take imho.

I think you’re being a little over sensitive there. It’s football and a contact sport.

Really? There was one where Burns got pushed, nothing given, and they got the ball. Then there was a slight nudge from an Ipswich player straight afterwards and he gave a free kick. And that wasn't the only occasion.

Did you miss the free kicks we did get or do they not count? I think some on here need to take the blue tinted specs off at times.

He seemed too keen not to be swayed by the home crowd so gave them everything instead. We had many more fouls given against us despite having much more possession. He was the opposite of a 'homer'.

Exactly this. Good 1st half, very very poor 2nd.
It's a yellow for Barnes on Vas for me, right through the back if him. He gave a gk for an obvious corner and booked Burns for less of a shove than he'd just got.
4/10 from me.

He was shocking! they mugged him completely, esp that No.7. First goal offside too.

Other than the yellow card for Burns which seemed a bit out of the blue, and the usual thing where Hirst gets shoved and tripped and never gets free kicks (which all refs go are liable to), he was fine.

The issue is the linesmen missing the potential offsides on both goals.


Burns's foul which resulted in the yellow wasn't severe, but it was at least his 4th foul of the match.

Whereas Barnes had at least 8 far worse & got none.

I prefer refs consistently applying the laws of the game, personally. On that front, I didn't think he and his assistants were up to much.
