Referee rating - marks out of ten

Really poor I thought.

The worst was when he let a Stevenage player come straight back on the pitch after recieving treatment - the rule is they have to wait 30 seconds. That led to Lee Riley being booked for rightly complaining about it.

But he never really had control over the game.

3 from me.

It's a 2 from me. He set the tone early on when he gave them a free kick for them fouling Salech & it was downhill from there.

I may have misunderstood this from a previous game but I thought I read that when there was a head injury in the box the keeper got the ball at the drop not the attacking team at the half way line.

5 from me thought he was poor on some things average on most and good on few so rough 5 I'd say

Allowing their player back on while they wasted time over a freekick summed him up.

Give soft fouls all night to them and let blatant blocks and pushes on our players go.

A generous 3 from me

Only if the ball is in the box.

Agree! His decision-making was inconsistent for both teams, but he made them pay in the second half for their blatant gamesmanship!

Overall, a balanced 5

I thought if play was stopped, you have to wait 30 seconds, he ran past the player, noticed blood and told him to clean it up, and i not sure if that's what happened.

The ref was inconsistant 5

Ah okay, thanks for explaining it a little more.
