That referee was proper shite

[BB3]

What have we done to deserve some of the worst referees the league can produce ,should have had 3 penalties in the first half and some of his decisions were a bit bizarre.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Said at half time we should have been 4 up.
3 more blatant penalties you'll see in a football match.


Unless you're that ref

 

[SirHarryThomson]

He was clueless. Mind you he did us a favour stopping them on a fast break for treatment to Madine. Thought there were 2 stonewall pens.

 

[FY2]

Worse ref up to now all season. He was fkin clueless as was the liner.

 

[Love BFC🍊]

Definate penalties but hey the ref and linesman on the west yet again diabolical

 

[JJpool]

No handball against them multiple times yet one time Madine did it, instantly a free kick to them.

 

[bollieboy]

3 definite penalties. Fonz was tripped but stayed on his feet so not given. Madine physically assautled by their centre-back and then the blatant handball.

He was as bad as they come.

 

[Wizaard]

Young lad on our row said it was his headmaster and that he's known as a Preston fan. Does that explain his decisions?

 

[Insider]

I don't understand the rules on handball anymore. In the olden days that wouldn't have been a handball. It's about 50/50 now.

Agree with all of this. This game would have worked well as a 'Specsavers' advert. I hope Dunn covers all this in his report on the referee.

The refs in league 1 are poor and probably all part time in other jobs. A few probably work for the blind society and also some probably won the chance to referee a game in a competition, it's the only explanation for some of the decisions.

Surely its noted who they support as it would affect them.

 

[Charlie_FABS]

According to an article in the LEP from when he was promoted to professional, he's from Leyland so there has to be a chance that he would be a PKE fan... Paul Marsden

 

[Don_K_Lasher]

Poor ref and even worse lino in the South half.
The Ref could have been unsighted for the penalty shouts, particularly for the handball, but the lino wasn't.

The lino flagged for just one single shirt pull all match, and that was for Bolton!

 

[Curryman]

He was another one from the Magoo cellar at the EFL in Preston. They seem to save them for us.

 

[BB3]

He even warned Maxwell about time wasting ,the ball had just come back from the crowd and he placed the ball down and then the goon warned him about timewasting.

Deputy head at Hodgson I believe

 

[Love BFC🍊]

He certainly does work at hodgson high school Look at the staff list and he’s on there.

 

[Athers]

We only get shit refs. And if he is a Preston fan it’s bang out of order he’s reffing a Blackpool match

 

[Towerpower99]

We certainly Don't ever get a 'Homer' Ref do we... I know no team should but it does happen, but it definitely doesn't happen at Bloomfield rd... In fact we seem to have had refs that go against us quite strongly..Even when we win it's 'Despite' the Ref.

 

[Bob Hatton]

Is there a process for the clubs to complain to the governing body for refs? Surely he can't be allowed to be that shit every week. If I was that bad at doing my job my manager would be all over me.

 

[Wizaard]

He even warned Maxwell about time wasting ,the ball had just come back from the crowd and he placed the ball down and then the goon warned him about timewasting.

But on numerous occasions we had to wait on him running backwards 50 yards then blowing his whistle.
