Ref for Saturday

Darren Bond. Not a great fan but better than Simon 'I hate Cardiff' Hooper or Stephen 'I'll show Warnock who's boss' Martin.

In the end we make our own luck.

Yes we have - December 23rd 2017 lost 2-0 at Bolton where he awarded a ridiculous penalty for handball against Bamba when the ball was headed at his arm from inches away.
BTW the penalty was scored by a certain Gary Madine

I stand corrected! Got the info off Twitter.

That'll teach me for not bothering to check!

OK... in fairness he had a decent game. Easy to say when we win though. No real contentious issues to debate. I thought cautions were all correct, and he was consistent.

By the way, corner Luton equalized from was the right decision from the officials, but Cardiff players thought that moaning to the referee was more important than defending the corner.
