A very good performance well done sir

Personally thought he was too easily fooled by players initiating contact by the opposition and diving to the floor in order to gain a free kick. Both sides were guilty and I thought Labadie was particularly adept at the 'art' second half.

I was a bit worried early on that he was letting a few things go but in fairness he controlled the game well from then on and got all the main stuff right, he was spot on and decisive on contentious throw-ins etc as well. Good performance I agree.

He didn't see Demetro getting an elbow in the head second half.

Well above average.

It resulted in the rumpus towards the end of the second half by the bailey stand.

I've said it before and will no doubt say it again! When we win the referee is great. When we lose he's bent / blind / biased (**delete as appropriate).

Face it! All the referees are not the best. That's why they are reffing us, not in the Premiership! But they're also far from the worst. They get most things right every week but not everything because they're human. Sometimes I think we'd all enjoy the match much more if we just remembered that.

I did.

Straight Red.

Smack in front of the lino (Hazel) who again was shit.
All kicked off and he walked away from the chaos.

The early foul on Haynes was a shocker, easily a yellow card. Poor lad was struggling for the rest of the game.

Yet strangely I was sat probably about 70 yards in the bisley, and could clearly see a Swindon player leading with his elbow into an aerial challenge connect with a County player?

Not just lead but swung and connected

Tbh being close sometimes is a disadvantage imho. If you’re following the ball closely sometimes these incidents are indeed “ off the ball. “ so missed. Having said that, that’s what the diagonal plan is supposed to help with, one of them should have seen it.
