Bobby Maddley

Tue Nov 21, 2023 8:10 pm

Despite having this clown in charge of our game away at Blackburn only a few weeks ago and him being the fourth official for our game against Bristol City the following week I was extremely disappointed to see that Mr Maddley will be the ref for our trip to Preston on Saturday.

Yes it's the same chump who disallowed the Goutas header at Blackburn and who last season ruled out a perfectly good Callum Robinson goal at home to Coventry.

It's the same Bobby Madley who infuriated the Jacks in their game against Sunderland recently where he sent off Patino for two dubious yellow cards in the first half and who can forget his performance in Newport's play off final a few years ago where having denied County a clear penalty in the first half then awarded Morecambe an extremely soft penalty late in the game.

Can you see a pattern emerging here or is it just a coincidence that Mr Maddley appears to make decisions that tend to favour "non-Welsh" teams? Surely a professional referee wouldn't be biased against a whole nation?

Mr Maddley is hardly an angel - remember him being banned after a video of him mocking a disabled person appeared online.

Let's play "Maddley Bingo" and see how many of these things happen on Saturday:-

1. An early yellow card for one of our players
2. A yellow for our player for a type of challenge which an opposition player gets away with
3. If we score Maddley desperately tries to find a reason to disallow the goal
4 . One of our players is subject to GBH in the Preston box - Bobby waves play on then books our player for diving.
5. Every 50/50 decision will go against us.

Hopefully I'll be back on here on Sunday eating humble pie and congratulating the odious prick on his fair and even-handed performance.

Somehow I doubt it.

I always look in advance at who is in the middle. Always think the other side have a 12th man when I see Maddley and Keith Stroud. I'm going up but feel less confident just because of the referee. Shouldn't be like that!

Grant clearly just fouled in the box but no surprise as Madley doesn’t give it.

He back in the Premier League after a 4 year absence for a racist 'joke' sent to his mate...

He seems lost without VAR to help him make key decisions... :cry:

I do not believe for a second he has any anti Cardiff or Welsh agenda, he is just shits and guess's too much.

I am sure there are 23 other clubs who believe he has an agenda against them

He didn't disappoint but at least he was useless towards both sides. How on earth is he reffing at this level.

Agree.

Clear penalty for Grant and Collins should have been sent off.

As the OP I have to say that although he made his usual amount of shit decisions today they seemed to be about the same for each team.

Had the balls to send off a home player when he could have bottled it and made the right decision to add on 9 minutes due to some blatant time wasting especially by their Jack goalie.

Well done Bobby!

You're still a prick though.

Yes he did get the added time right, not alot else and refs like Madley ruin a game, as previously stated a complete guesser!
