kettrin imp: “Weak and very poor from start to finish. He should have got his book out earlier after some poor fouls from a dirty Ipswich team. Gave them their first goal with a poor free-kick decision. At least he didn’t fall for their play-acting, mainly from Dozzell and our old friend Norwood. 3 from me.”
plumbob: “3/10 I’ve no idea how we got such an entertaining game with him stopping play almost every time someone hit the deck, sometimes even that wasn’t needed. Genuinely thought he would end up giving a straight red card for something completely innocuous.”
Impalex: “Quite a poor display from my perspective; he didn’t seem to have any grasp of the ‘play-on’ rule which is meant to be used as an advantage. Ipswich came not to lose and that showed in their dirty play. The best team won by a country mile, albeit without help from a poor referee.
4.5/10.”
