sedgleyimp: “For me pretty good. Wanted to let the game flow. There will be some comments about that Rogers call back but he was being chopped by 5 defenders at the time so a realistic advantage was probably not there.
8 out of 10 for me.”
hulloupost: “Not a lot on the game, but at no time did I fear a ducking stupid decision. The players knew after 5 mins. there were going to be no awards in the diving competition today. What a surprise no rolling about on the floor or squealing like the front row of a boy band concert. 9.”
Scotimp: “Definitely an 8 from me, although it was an easy game to referee due to the noticeable lack of physicality. Let the game flow where he could, kept his cards in his pocket, was not fooled by the disease of inviting contact and swallow-like glides to the turf that ruin every game now.”
