The ref

I know Worcester does a vote for the ref soometimes but can I be the first to say I thought the ref had a very good game today.

Seemed a lot fairer than most; gave the fouls that most refs completely ignore.

He did miss a few blatant shirt pulls though.

4.5 the best ref in a fair while, although not perfect so 9 out of 10 which would be a better measure.

First decent 1 we've had for long time

I gave him a 4 because he was fair and hot most decisions right but I felt he should have booked a couple more of their players

The ref was no problem at all and actually had a very good game.

The linesman on the grandstand side, though, was 100% from Stoke — he was horrific.

The one-v-one when Osho slipped was offside, so we were lucky they didn’t score from it. He gave a goal kick against Tanner when it was clearly a corner, and then in the last few seconds he couldn’t wait to give the throw-in against Moylan, making sure we couldn’t get one last chance.

The guy was awful. It genuinely felt like he was trying to influence the game against us.

I gave him a 3 because of the linesman & I think you have to include all 4 of them as a team because they talk to each other & decisions are made that affect the game by all of them & not just the ref in isolation.

Yes I said at the start of game I remeber this ref from 2 years ago , said he was one of the better refs around and he had another good one in my opinion
