Another good game 8 from me some good advantages

Agreed. Another who didn't give a foul every time a player fell to the ground, and didn't allow players to 'pinch' yards at throw-ins.

Yes the men in black have been decent lately - I fear it won’t last!

And the woman in black.

Agree re recent refs. Given the harassment they can get from a minority in sport, it’d be nice if there were a way for fans to voice their approval when they get things right. I hope managers/clubs do so.

Yes indeed, I stand corrected. She was excellent

A great idea that! Not sure how that would be skewed by high attendance clubs but some sort of poll would be good. Good performance needs rewarding and a nudge to the assessor wouldn’t hurt.

Yes, he was good. A bit surprised he didn't book the Orient player who scuffed out the white spray for their free kick after the ball was placed a bit nearer the goal. He did make them move the ball back. Perhaps his assistant could have helped him out on that one.

Just a thought.

Referees bettet of late. Results better of late.

Coincidence?

Maybe not, you may have a point. I’ve been pilloried in the past by claiming we don’t get a fair rub of the green from referees - and never have! Perhaps a more professional attempt at training and assessing refs will help to remedy that. Anyone on here remember a certain W H Mann of Worcester back in the Somerton days? Thankfully I’ve seldom seen anything like it since.
