Referee - marks out of ten

Sat Oct 04, 2025 4:37 pm

Poor again I thought, although not as bad as Tuesday.

A lot of decisions wrong.

Didn't seem to have much control on the game either.

I thought he was the worse we've seen so far.

He reminded me of a parks ref. The worst so far wasn't there on Tuesday

I was worried after our second game that refereeing might cost us this season, and after today, that feels 100% confirmed. So far, I think we’ve only had one referee (against Wigan) who’s been fair and at the standard you’d expect.

Burton cost us 3 points.

Right at the end of today’s game, they went through after a blatant handball to contol the ball, the linesman was looking straight at it and still let play continue. That could have easily of been an equaliser.

Then there was the incident with Lawlor’s head injury in the box, the ref let play go on and only stopped it once the ball was cleared. Never mind the constant pulling, these are blatant examples of officials either deliberately showing bias or are that bad they don't understand the rules. Another atrocious performance from the officials, and we were just lucky they didn’t punish us for their mistakes.

Worst 1 so far, him and the linesman family stand end.

I gave him 5 (average) as he was poor for both sides, but inadvertently missed a load of bookable challenges (and shirt pulls) that gave both sides opportunities to move forward when others might have stopped the play

We have to get used to the (poor) standard of refereeing in League One, and adapt to the tactics that lesser teams (not including Orient) will use when ‘playing’ us!

I give 4 , why didn't let us take our corner when half of the orient team run to the touchline don't rate the refs in L1

Yes I agree.
My mate reckons we were lucky that the Lino (Ninian side) was so awful as Kapakio took a throw in for either Salech’s or CR’d last goal 6 yards from where the ball went out. Not complaining about that but it shows the incompetence

Spot on. It was Salechs goal. He stole at least 5 yards, probably more. It happens all the time by all sides and the linesman are so poor they rarely spot it. Hardly hard job to do is it?

From most of these reviews on refs in this division - there does not seem to be many good refs in Div 1 .
