The odd thing about that ref last night 09:12 - Feb 17 with 654 views | Dubtractor | Until the Judge incident I thought he'd actually been decent, had a control on the game, no bad decisions that I remember. So the Judge incident seemed to come from nowhere. Had there been some verbals going on prior to that that I'd missed? Or did he simply melt down at a fairly routine claim for a penalty? I don't think it was a penalty FWIW, but any team would claim for it. Also, BBC are now showing the Downes red as a straight red for violent conduct? [Post edited 17 Feb 2021 9:13]

I thought that he possibly let a couple of challenges go that should have been carded but nothing that had me screaming at the screen. The bit that I don’t understand is if he has reacted to something that Judge has said,why not simply give him a red card rather than bring in his head towards the player, which was clearly confrontational. I think that when the dust settles on this the ref could be quite a bit of trouble. | |

I certainly thought it was penalty when it was shown live and the replay but to react how he did I think he will be in trouble. | | | |

A few odd decisions - not booking Mills for kicking Parrott in the head and letting Kenlock get away with two fouls in a row - but far better than the dross we normally get. Then he lost it. Worth noting that D'Urso was good at the overall control thing, before following it up with some ridiculous decision - sending McGreal off, pointing to the penalty spot against Swansea before changing his mind etc etc. | |

To be fair the first Pernickedy bit he could do very little about as he put the white line down and Northampton did try take the kick a yard away from it , if he had allowed play to continue and they had scored !!! | | | |
