Todays referee


OVER THE HILL

Recommended Posts

He has also lived in Peterborough for at least the last 9 years...

 

That explains a lot......one of the worst displays I have seen this season, and we have had some prize pillocks as competition for him.

Funniest thing was when he booked their no. 7 right at the end for a nothing foul after everything their back four had gotten away with against Barnard and Lambert.

I agree that was funny.

 

I thought his best moment was when Oxo skipped past a hopeless lunging tacklee but then got penalised. It was amost as if Oxo was too good so that the ref had to penalusr him to even things up.

Lambert needs to go to ground more often. Barnard is very good at it.

 

Was considering asking Barney if he'd fancy doing my garden given his recent performance on the turf. He goes down far too easily and the one time when he should have gone down in the 2nd half in their pen area he tried to stay up and failed miserably. He needs some strength.

 

Ref was appauling. Nuff said.

Thought he was competent, got all big decisions right, we didn't help our cause by having Chaplow commit silly fouls in front of our own area. In fact apart from the previously mentioned Barnard incident (which is debatable) can't really remember any obviously wrong decisions. Maybe sitting in a pub with no commentary and without hearing the crowd (usually most of whom get decisions wrong in the stands) is why I've got a different conclusion to most others.

Referee was pants every time there was a 50/50, and luckily for us he wasn't a major factor in the result.

 

As for the Barnard "foul", how dare he bend over whilst the defender clatters him from 3 yards away...!?

He was awful. A defender jumps three foot over Barnard and it goes against Barnard. Crazy.

I love being a referee. It makes me realise just how idiotic us fans are. Deadman had an acceptable game - the Barnard incident joked about above was the correct call considering Barnard's only intention was to stand and block the defender from getting a fair header in.

 

Sure, he shouldn't have booked Reynolds and he probably missed a couple of fouls, but he missed less fouls than Chaplow misplaced passes, missed less fouls than the amount of times AOC gave the ball away. As for Chaplow - how stupid was he? Gave away at least two stupid fouls in attacking areas! He's the one we should be criticising, not the ref.

are you related to the ref or something? awful referee, seriously terrible.. you'd hardly get people complaining about him if he was 'good'.

This is why I hate referees. Barnard's only intention was to stand next to, and get the ball, which he did. Unfortunately for the Sheff Weds defender, Barnard was slightly in the way so had to clatter into him. Contact? Contact! FOUL! Barnard don't do that again.

 

Seriously, I jest a little but if you saw that as a foul then I'm worried.

Ref gave most 50/50's their way. Barney got smashed all game and got nothing. The 'foul' where he let the ball drop into the space in front of him instead of allowing the Wednesday player a free run was exactly why referees like this are viewed as incompetent. If that's a foul, the rules need changing. Anyway, he was from Peterborough, so his interpretations are understandable.

When is a referee ever 'good', according to a fan? Maybe 1 in a 100? And then the next week this same ref is viewed as incompetent "back to sunday league" by the next set of fans he displeases.

 

When it comes to assessing a referee, fans are stupid. They know f**k all. Prime example was today in the Spurs v West Ham match when Bale had the wrong coloured undershorts on. Everybody is whinging but Mike Dean managed it by the book.

 

Take Howard Webb, who is on a par with Lionel Messi in terms of being the best in the world at what he does. Yet when it comes to a game involving your team, and he makes a mistake regarding ONE THROW IN, he's sh*t and you'll never forgive him for it for the rest of his career. If Lionel Messi misplaces one pass, at least he doesn't have to watch his back when he walks to the car park.

BBC stats tell that we totally dominated game, yet conceded nearly double the number of free kicks. Something not quite right about the refereeing........

I completely disagree with all of you. I thought he got just about every major decision right, including the ones that the above posters have referred to!

 

I'm with you Big Ron. I thought the referee went through the game without really being noticed or booed, that's normally the sign of a decent display.

So you didn't hear the ironic cheer and applause that he was given when Dan Harding finally had a decision go his way on about 80 mins? Unbelievable ... so loud it sounded like every home fan had joined in from where I sit.

Gary Madine spent the entire game falling over and Deadman fell for it every time. I remember his performance at Colchester, last season, in the fog and that was similarly inept.

 

You begin to wonder if he is so gullible, how many sets of double glazing has he bought this year.

Did anyone else notice that during the warm up the ref broke away from his linesmen to have a long and animated (lots of hand shaking and back slapping) with the Sheff Wed assistant manager/coach which went on for quite a few minutes. Whether he allowed this to affect his judgement during the game, I know not, but he should have avoided giving the perception that he was very friendly with him!!!

I'm more than happy to criticise them both. and Barnard was without playing distance of the ball and was charged in the back, I'd love to see the version of the laws you have read.

Yeah, apart from the time the entire ground started sarcastically cheering him finally giving us a foul, of course... what were you watching ?

I don`t care if you are a referee and can see the game from a referees point of view instead of from the crowds, but the one thing that I want from from any referee is consistancy. If he is having a bad game, fair enough. Everyone has those, but yesterday he allowed Lambert and Barnard to be pushed and pulled all over the place without penalisation, and yet gave free kicks for virtually any physical contact on the Owls forwards.

a poor ref, inconsistent, some very odd decisions.

Lambert was constantly fouled.

 

Thankfully it doesn't sound like moaning as we won the game but anyone who thinks he was okay was at a different match.

Or perhaps the ref took the lead of a few fans and spent the extra two hours twenty minutes throwing money over a bar meaning that they couldn't stand up, let alone enjoy the game.

 

We have had good refs and given them credit, we have had some woeful ones - defending them whatever mistakes they make is an odd stance.

 

Look at the Peterborough penalty debacle - 3 out of 4 dodgy decisions?

Hopefully things like that don't cost us, but players deserve a better quality of official - other than their lanky centre back who couldn't trap a bag of cement and made more mistakes than the ref.

Where were you sitting?!

 

The inconsistency bordering on bias had the crowd all around (Block 37) me incensed on many occasions...ironic cheers were the kinder end of the comments. He was below average even for this league.

Well based on their corner count (As them having one) i can tell you those stats are absolute bolliacks.
