Normally I say he's one of the best referees you can get at Championship level.

But he was really poor today.

Gave some strange decisions and I have no idea how he only added three minutes, our corners alone probably took three minutes.

Not blaming him for us not winning, but a poor refereeing performance today.

I thought he had a relatively good game, let a lot of the play acting go which I like. The only one I wish he did give was Ng's pathetic flop which has cost us 2 points. I do agree on only 3 minutes being added on though, I was expecting at least 5.

He was crap. Don’t think it stoped is winning but we’ll never know. Lineman on the ninian side was shit was well

I thought he was poor and I bigged him up prematch

Wasn’t his fault we drew
it was play anywhere in the last 10 mins

booked a city player in the first 5 minutes the let the game generate into scrappy niggly game never getting a card out again until late on. very poor but as people say above poor for both sides so not the reason we didn't win.

There's that old saying "If you don't notice the referee, then he's doing a good job".

Today it was all about him and he was shit :banghead:

Thought the ref was the closest thing you can get to ‘ A bent ref’.
Appalling :banghead:

The best ref in the league by far yet was way off his normal self, poor decisions, let the linesmen have too much say!!

I normally rave about Sam but even I’m disappointed with him today

Both sets of fans singing your not fit to referee sums his performance up perfectly.

I sit in the family stand and 1st half at 0-0 the defender had both arms wrapped around Salech, was a clear penalty.
