The game fell apart when the match referee lost his way with poorly thought out decisions particularly late on in the game when he gave Wednesday a debatable free kick after Hunt challenged fairly for the ball. The free kick led to a Wednesday goal. You can never defend against a poor match official who is not accountable to the supporters. The match referee's assessor? Who is he/she? They too are not accountable to anyone. Both the match referee and the assessor submit a match report. Has anyone the right to challenge the match reports? Does anyone bother to challenge a match referee's performance particularly if their match performance was incompetent? Do the same officials continue ploughing their own furrow without question by their employer?
I thought the ref could have given more particularly to Derbyshire but in didn't think he cost us anything.
we thought the ref had decided it was a derby game and to try and keep the game going.I have to agree he probably did not cost us anything and even though we lost it was a cracking game.
I actually thought the referee was decent yesterday. I didn't really notice him at all and that is a sign (in my book anyway) of a referee who is letting the game flow. I didn't notice many protests from players regarding supposed fouls and the bookings were correctly given. It was most certainly not the referee that cost us anything in that game, I think it was rather the slack defending and the inability to continue to take the game to a team when winning that caused our problems.

The ref was fundamentally weak. Not picking up on diving or persistent fouling but he was right to add 6 or more minutes and they scored in 97 mins and 15 seconds. He was not the reason why we lost.
i am unsure why he disallowed our first goal but I sit in ws7.

3 of us sat together in E7 and it was one said, goal! One said, foul, and one undecided. Nudge on keeper was the issue
