sedgleyimp: “I’m going to give him an okay (ish) 6.
Two penalties which seemed quite easy to spot and deciding that their player made no serious attempt to play the ball so a red card. Did seem to miss a few fouls from both teams though, but perhaps he was making allowances for the conditions.”
hulloutpost: “Made a couple of baffling decisions but was always looking to let the game flow on a tricky surface. Helped in part by players who seemed to respect that and not take the Mikey. 7.”
Chesterimp: “5, a real mixed bag.
Some baffling decisions (Johnsons shot saved for a goal kick), 2 players going down – when Grant became Mr angry. Did let the game flow, no real attempts to play advantage throughout. Got both penalties right, though they were clear, likewise red card.”
