He received an average rating of 1.91 following the 1-1 draw away at Notts County in February 2019. Some of the comments can be found below:

BMF 53: “Absolutely clueless! From the stand behind the dugouts, he got both penalties wrong. However, in the last couple of minutes, it looked like Lincoln got away with one. He had completely lost the plot by that stage so luckily played on and didn’t give it.

It isn’t very often that a ref is booed by both sets of supporters. He was pro-Notts County in the first half and pro-Lincoln in the second.

How many times did he pull players over before a corner?

I will give him 1/10 as he realised the game was being played at Meadow Lane and not the City Ground!”

Snats: “3. Fancied himself as a League Two Mike Dean in the first half with all his ridiculous nit-picking at throw-ins and corners. Seemed to improve after half time, although that may be because the decisions were going in our favour. Quite impressive to have both sets of fans chant “you don’t know what you’re doing” in the same match.”

evenstephen: “Not very good at all, wanted to be the centre of attention. got both penalties wrong, seemed to let some bad fouls go unpunished and his nitpicking at corners was irritating. He got most of the bookings correct but was very inconsistent. 3/10.”
