The Referee

[StocksArmy]

That performance needs to be looked at by the FA. Absolutely shocking.

[bobjimwilly]

I wasn't there but am interested to see how bad he was - are full match replays on Rovers Player?

[Filo]

An utter disgrace gave Wycombe everything, there’s no doubt in my mind if that penalty was at the other end he would have given it

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Makes my blood boil when refs make decisions on things they are not certain about. Fejiri red card, yellows to Wright and others in previous games but yet, cannot make the most obvious decisions that should be easy for them.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Absolutely awful refereeing performance.

The penalty was beyond belief. And that one when Jacobsen took off Ramsey round the hips.

[MachoMadness]

Got close to that legendary Mick Russell performance against Portsmouth. You have to wonder what they're thinking sometimes.

[firestarter]

Every decision that he had to make left me thinking “what’s he gonna do now”.. I truly had no idea what he was thinking

Thinking... that’s stretching it a bit... I think there were just a few pebbles ratting round his noggin.

You do wonder what they see don’t you? I mean, it’s as clear a penalty as you’ll ever see. Cole did him for pace and he just hacked him down. Referee was well positioned. There’s no decision to make - it was a penalty 100 times over.

And yet...

I mean... what the f**k?

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Dreadful by far the worst fir some time.

[i_ateallthepies]

Penalty all day long.  He took no action against Cole, never even spoke to him.  If he adjudged it not a penalty they he should have been dealing with Cole.

the 2nd one on Cole wasn’t a pen clearly wasn’t n the ball,one earlier in the half could of been where he was pulled back.

 As for sum of the fouls you could say they were just more savvy than us at times,we try to keep on our feet where at times we should go down where as they just went down at every given opportunity.

[Campsall rover]

Dreadful by far the worst fir some time.

Had him 3 times this season and won them all.
Bristol R at home, Posh away and today.
Can we have him every week please.

[donnievic]

its because there player won the ball so it wasn’t a dive,not sure wot sum of our fans actually see or want to see at times

[BillyStubbsTears]

Their player didn't get within 2 yards of the ball.

[i_ateallthepies]

Player won the ball??? Are your eyes painted on?

[donnievic]

Well when you see the reply of it I will accept all your apologies

No where near the ball, I can only assume by that comment you were the ref

[BillyStubbsTears]

I've seen it. Three times. Their player didn't get within 2 yards of the ball.

[Bezza]

Blatant penalty for me

[PDX_Rover]

Arguably it was also a red card.

[Donnywolf]

Shouldnt have been a surprise

This is the ost made by The Red Baron after the same Refs lst Home visit :

Very inconsistent and gave a lot of free kicks (both ways) for nothing challenges. Having given Bristol Rovers a very soft penalty he then failed to give us a much more clear cut one- the foul on Ennis on the second half. They don't get any better, unfortunately.

[Donnywolf]

.... and given the Crads he dished out SURELY in the context of the Game the hacking down of Lokilo by Number 3 just HAD TO BE a Yellow?

[RoversAlias]

Appalling refereeing. Booked Sadlier early on for a challenge that was a foul but never a booking. Missed ridiculously blatant fouls on Amos and then Ramsey in the second half, right in front of him. No penalty for Cole late on. Gave Wycombe everything, played into all their antics and play-acting.

He gets a zero from me and I hope we don't see him again this season.

think he booked him because the player would have been in for a clear run into the box rather it be a bad foul

[epworth red]

Unbelievable jeff 🙈

[GazLaz]

The penalty decision was dreadful. Absolutely clear as day.

A zero from me too.
When he booked Sads early on we said that Sads must have said something out of turn to him because it clearly wasnt a bootable foul.
100% a clear as day pen for the foul on Cole late on.
The ref missed so many fouls on Rovers players,sneaky shirt pulls etc besides the trips.
He was awful.

[BillyStubbsTears]

My favourite shite decision was the one midway through the second half where we were on the attack but not really going anywhere and Ramsey was body checked as he ran into the box. The ref clearly saw it because he went and had a word with the culprit when the move broke down. But he chose to play an advantage even though we were going nowhere down the left wing, instead of giving us the clear free kick on the edge of the box.

I thought exactly the same BST.
I thought that he had just missed it until he bent down and had a quick word with the defender on his way back.
