Officials

Now generally I am not one to have a go at the ref because it is a hard job, but todays' man in the middle certainly mystified me with some of his decisions.

[ChesterTheTabby]

He was awful in the other game he officiated for us earlier in the year.

[Ordar]

He was absolutely abysmal. Worst refereeing performance I've ever seen. Let them kick us all over the park, and giving a free kick for that terrible dive by their right back was a disgrace

[Max Headroom]

Shocking. And took so long to make a decision.

[Berserker]

The Ref at Cardiff wasn't good either

[fulhamben]

what the little porker? it was worth having him ref today just to hear jims comments

[PokerMatt]

You want shocking? Here's shocking. Given offside at Spurs earlier....

[Baszab]

Surely that back pass in the first half was handled by their goalie - it looked blatant from where I was ??

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

Jim and Sean were saying that they weren't sure if handling is was OK or he had to literally catch it and have it in his control

[Baszab]

he controlled it with his hand - that must make it an illegal back pass and an indirect free kick - the bench went mad at the 4th official

[SG]

He was awful from the very first minute. Consistently awful throughout.

[ron]

Let's just say he appeared to think that Yellow and White are complementary colours........

[VicHalomsLovechild]

I think his discisons wound up the team so much they found the strength to get the winner against the run of play

Reading were another bunch of dirty cheating b-stads ?!   Professional fouls, throwing the ball away, Rugby tackles. The ref should have sent off at least 2 Reading players.

Should've been 2 straight reds at the end, the Reading player for stamping & Stafy for kicking him back in retaliation.

[Andy S]

Justice was done in the end and Reading won't earn many friends playing like that. As for the Ref it isn't his fault it is the people who appoint him. He needs more training for sure.

[MisfitKid]

Jim mentioned he had his "Christmas Weight" still on

[DeuceBigelow]

I honestly felt that Kacaniklic only got a free kick because he grabbed at the ball after being felled, there was complete hesitation and the player handling after the foul swung it. I've no example of of an out and out wrong decision but the ref didn't seem in control today.
