Referee

How many stars would you give the referee today?

One from me, think last week was the best we've had and this week's was the worst.

1

For me he’s had a decent game.

He’s let a lot go but has been consistent for both sides.

I’m a bit old school and prefer that than blowing the whistle for every slight touch.

0 by far the worst I've seen in years

Why do referees feel like they have to be seen and full of there own importance.
God help if there wife's did something wrong in the house they d send them to bed ffs
5 bookings ffs

Terrible, awful, shambolic, shocking etc.

That took me back to the dross we had to watch last season at league 1!! Hopefully they send him back down to where he belongs, parks football.

Truly appalling - way out of his depth and seemingly watching a different game to everyone else. Linos were not much better…

He reminds me of a drunken Sunday league one where somebody shouts who wants to ref. If I could of given a -1 I would have.

Needs to be reported for a such a poor standard! How does their GK get away with picking up a ball he’s dropped? BBM picks up a yellow for complaining, they’re overprotected ref’s and rarely called out for poor performances.

Bad ref but no surprise
Referees will give decicions to bigger clubs anyway in this league.

We are a unit and a force that will get wins and points against the biggest teams.
We fought every minute for loose balls and battles in midfield. When we return we will have Rubin Fish AND Isaak back with us. So we can only get stronger going forwards.

What a fantastic performance from everyone on the pitch a well deserved 3 points. Onwards And Upwards for the bluebirds.

One of the worst I've seen for a long time
Inconsistent and looked out of his depth

First 20 minutes or so I thought he was very good, let the game flow and didn't give silly fouls but he must have had a reminder through his headset that he was refereeing Cardiff......

1 from me.

Absolute clown.

Dreadful... You can't be a leave them battle ref for 30 minutes and then dish cards out for every little offense after that

1 from me. A self-important little herbut who gave some stupidly soft, pointless bookings and let go some Charlton thuggish gamesmanship.

I gave 3.. I thought he started well; he was consistent in keeping it physical and booking professional fouls, but the game got away from him in the second half, with some batshit guesses from both teams. His linemen were pointless; they offered no help, by the looks of it

Poor referee today,1 for turning up

Awful, their keeper dropping the ball and picking it back up summed his display up.

A mediocre 3 from me, as I thought he started well before losing control of the game from his own unenforced errors

He was lazy at times, and couldn’t get out of his own way or keep up with play

Looked young, so hopefully he will learn from experience and improve

Awful, their keeper dropping the ball and picking it back up summed his display up.

He wasn't even looking when that happened.

He turned his back on play and was running back upfield.

And there's no point expecting the linesman to do anything about it because they never do.

1 for me, awful

Piss poor from the pair of them.

We were on the break away, number 7 pulls back Willock and nothing is given. We were breaking away again, Bagan pulls their defender and the ref gives the free kick and yellow.

Number 44 blatantly blocking Salech chasing the keeper down on each kick off ignored each time, obvious free kicks.

Rare to hear the officials booed off by fans of a team that's just won 3-1 but that ref certainly deserved it.

All about him - especially the theatrical way he jogged over to give BBM the yellow card then blew up as soon as play restarted.

What a dick.

Needs to be reported for a such a poor standard! How does their GK get away with picking up a ball he’s dropped? BBM picks up a yellow for complaining, they’re overprotected ref’s and rarely called out for poor performances.

I wasn’t sure whether the ball hit the ground or not.

I didn't think it had to hit the ground. Same as a corner, goal kick and throw in.

If the ball is over the line then it's handball whether it hit the ground or not.

That’s a disgraceful decision then.

We’re on about when he was about to throw the ball out then changed his mind.
A keeper can catch a ball outside area as long as his feet are inside…..I think.

Sorry, mate…

No, a goalkeeper cannot gather the ball with their hands if the ball is outside the penalty area, regardless of where their feet are positioned

Handling the ball outside the penalty area results in a direct free kick for the opposing team, and potentially a yellow or red card depending on whether it denied a goal-scoring opportunity

Conversely, if a goalkeeper's feet or body are standing outside the penalty box, but they touch the ball while it is still inside the box or on the boundary line, the play is completely legal

Cheers Chris. Good to know.
