6 Bookings

Worst ref all season. Massively favoured the home team. Lost control of the game at times due to poor decisions and tried to stamp his authority with weak bookings. He was even going to send dougall off at one point and then realised he had been booked and didn't bother, poor and cowardly. Obviously I don't want a player sent off, but it's a yellow it's a yellow, stick to your guns, back yourself and do the right thing. He was spineless
 
Some were fair enough, others were ridiculous decisions.

The one that really concerned me was Jensen Weir's. Second time this year he's been carded for the new rule about moving the ball or obstructing before a free kick. Whether or not one agrees with it, it's high profile and clear what refs are instructed to do, so it's not really justifiable for it to happen once. Twice is unforgivable, especially as both of them have come in close games where going to 10 could be the difference.

Jimmy Husband's showed how poor the ref was, booked for protesting that one of theirs did the same without punishment. I though the ref did then show theirs a yellow? If he did do that, then he took enough time over it to give the impression he wasn't doing.

Had he showed as quick as he did to Weir then Husband wouldn't have been carded. If he didn't show one at all then there was a huge inconsistency.
 
Dougall was lucky not to be sent off for a 2nd bookable offence (it did look a yellow to be fair).

The referee went to his pocket, then seemed to change his mind when he realised he'd already booked him earlier.
The Barnsley commentary team were not happy, to say the least.
 
We've already had one apology for bad decisions this season. Due another today frankly.
Wasn't just the poor decisions either how many times did he get in the way of players
 
Some strange and ridiculous decisions, however this does oddly please me. Doing the dirtier side to get the result, which we certainly havent done this season and indeed seasons gone by.

in particular Connolly for the cyclical foul when they were breaking away. Exactly the type of game management needed, and employed by most teams in order to progress and win football matches.

Disagree that he favoured the home team. Made several shocking calls for both sides.

Husband was booked for complaining about one of their players going in recklessly. The ref then booked their player for the challenge. Mentalist.
