Not sure we would want them to be consistently wrong though. I’d love to be a fly on the wall while they watch a replay. Well, a hornet really so I could sting the bastards when they admit an error. Every time.

Every time.Thing is no one expects them to be perfect, just want them to keep the game moving and be consistent. Great ref
Probably not but at least they’d be shit for both teamsNot sure we would want them to be consistently wrong though. I’d love to be a fly on the wall while they watch a replay. Well, a hornet really so I could sting the bastards when they admit an error. Every time.
So did I on replay. Thank goodness we don’t have VAR (but would have evened itself out at least over this season).I thought BTA fouled their defender for our second goal, but happy something when for us for a change.
Yeah I was thinking don't carp about it Rudi it achieves nothing to mouth off at her, just get back in position.That female lino got one throw in wrong,and that fair challenge on Rudoni,he gave her something then.
haven’t seen a replay on that specifically but watching live on tv i thought was just a good physical shoulder bargeSo did I on replay. Thank goodness we don’t have VAR (but would have evened itself out at least over this season).
When he did, he seemed to wave it on very quickly. Just seems to show confidence in decision making, and less reactive to crowds and external factors, which is important as I thought Hackney seemed to try to referee the game like Brownhill did for Burnley.Interesting that he let things go and still maintained control
There was a bit of a kick on the foot which I thought was more of a foul than Dasilva last week. VAR might not have liked it, but in the end made no difference to the outcome.haven’t seen a replay on that specifically but watching live on tv i thought was just a good physical shoulder barge
That's because both clubs have decent honourable managers. Unlike some clubs I couldn't mention ( OK Sheff U and Luton for a start )Shows how terrible championship refs are that you can tell the difference that much.
He was very fair today but I don't think either us or Middlesbrough are shit house teams which helps a lot with the flow of the game.

Yep, spot on.No big decisions and I'm probably letting my elated mood cloud my judgement, but I thought that was one if the best refereeing performances I've seen in a long time, home or away. Understood the occasion, spoke to players, let it flow when he could. No issues with our bookings, even them he allowed play on before booking Milan. Genuinely impressed.

Not normallyDo we praise the refs when we have lost?
Not sure how you can miss stuff and be consistent! (Unless you’re Ade Akinbiyi etc etc)He let some stuff go and missed a bit too, but at least he was consistent
Why don’t they just make that sort of “obstruction” illegal. being able to book goalies who are being impeded is a bit “cake and eat it”. It’s bound to piss of the goalie, presents an opportunity for confrontation. Wilson was delaying his kick but also trying to get the ref to shift the Middlesbrough player who was obstructing.Good ref, I thought he let a body check on Haji go, didn't call a foul when Simms was practically wrestled to the ground. But then again I am biased.
I thought he might have booked Rudi and the Middlesbrough goalie near the end when there was a bit of afters because Rudi had impeded his punt upfield but he just spoke to both of them.
He was way less fussy than your common or garden championship ref.He let some stuff go and missed a bit too, but at least he was consistent
I was not talking about Wilson, did you see what Rudi did? Very late in the game at one point he was making contact with Travers, shadowing him to the edge of the area preventing from kicking. Shortly after the ball was eventually kicked upfield the ref stopped play and turning my view back to the area I saw Rudi lying on the ground holding his head.Why don’t they just make that sort of “obstruction” illegal. being able to book goalies who are being impeded is a bit “cake and eat it”.

Don’t know but will be select group 1 prem ref/linos again. Always is in playoffs.Who is going to be thd ref on Friday and how has he faired for us in other games?
