Decent ref tonight.... 23:17 - Oct 4 with 1964 viewsBloots

....plus some superbly exaggerated, over the top, showboating, pointing for decisions.

Lovely stuff.

Agree, I’m always complaining about how bad they’ve been this season so only fair to acknowledge a good performance.

The key of being a good ref is to be in the right place at the right time. The ref tonight got that nailed on.
Really good display from him tonight.

Yeah, agreed on both counts.

There was a moment in the first half where Walton almost took the ball out of the box, and in fairness the ref's positioning was perfect to see it, but he almost drew attention to just how good his positioning was with an dd flourish.

Made us smile anyway.

I thought that was brilliant to be honest. Good bit of refereeing and a bit of entertainment.

Yep thought he was decent. In particular positioning etc - see the Walton one where the ball looked as if it might be held outside the box but he was well placed to referee it.

There wasn't a lot of dissent from either side. Morsy,as Captain, in particular, didn't seem to need to go over to him much at all.

Maybe the theatrical flourishes communicate well to the players and they don't argue as much as a result?

I'll take the showboating when the refs get most of the big decisions right, agree he was good last night.

Whoa whoa whoa, hang on a sec.

Did Morsy not get booked?

Christ maybe I won’t pay tax this month.

Actually tried to let the game flow which some refs in this league seem to have an adversion to.

The ref didn't really have a great deal to do. Most of the match we had the ball at our feet and most moved it around to grab a yard of space. I would imagine there was much less tackles and potential for confrontation. But when he did have to do stuff he did OK.

Other than failing to address the time wasting, particularly by the keeper. Refs need to book players for it much earlier in the game. There should have been more than one minute added on in the first half for all the timewasting.

Me and those around me were massive fans of the "Squat and point with whole arm" thing he did when Walton was on the edge of the box collecting the ball!!!

THIS IS DEMOC-RRRRRRR-ACY MANIFEST!
