Shocking ref. Like playing against 12 men. One of the worst it's all about him.

Wasn't it Bobby Madley that got banned for a while because he was caught taking the piss out of disabled people?

Surprised they let him back in after that.

He's a terrible referee and always seems to do bad whenever he takes charge of our games, his brother is the much better referee.

As I said in the match thread, Madeley used to ref us quite often at Championship level so why has the c**t now appeared in League One.

Has he been demoted on a one off basis due to yet another shit performance in the Championship or is he now permanently based in League One and Two when frankly he should be reffing on a Sunday at parks level.

Seems to be quite clearly biased against Welsh teams. Didn't he shaft Newport in a play off final a while back?

Would love to know how many games he's reffed involving Welsh clubs and how many of those games the Welsh clubs have lost.

He is undoubtedly a useless prick of a ref.

Spot on. I'd like to see those stats too, not many wins for welsh teams I bet.

His performance was summed up when he let Ashley Fletcher back onto the pitch after treatment to tackle Callum Chambers, they ended up clean through on goal from it. Shocking refereeing performance where he seemed to guess the majority of decisions and turn a blind eye to blatant fouls on Salech throughout.

All refs have turned blind eye to fouls on Salech so not unique to maddely .... but the injury incident was poor refereeing someone not in control of the situation.... he was not reason for loss despite his performance. Commentators made good point bbm should be going to refs boss and show him several different incidents where fouls given and some not ... and find out why Salech is penalised and not defenders..... but looking at the scrums taking place in penalty area in every game now wouldn't hold much hope things changing....maybe time to put Ashford ect up with him so that his presence is enough to upset
Defenders and they’ll be less inclined to rugby tackle him and without Salech getting involved with them..

I say this every time -

There should be an investigation into his treatment of Welsh teams. He makes bizarre and suspicious decisions in every one of our games and I know he does the same to County and the Jacks too.

Total xenophobe.

He is just terrible.

I used to think a few refs would "front up" against Warnock back in the day, but he is just incompetent
