Seems about the most average a ref can be, mind you seems to keep control and communicate better than most.

Guess that means a big punch up occuring is even more unlikely.

Great, another rubbish ref.

4th official Danny McDermid is a 1st year football league ref.The first to be allocated a premiership 4th official appointment.A big first as well should Peter Walton get injured!!

Comments.Not a lot of help from linos at times.Seen worse.

Row Z Royal · by **Row Z Royal** » 07 Apr 2007 19:16

Disappointed by the officials. At least the lino in front of the East was crap in both halves.

Big team ref - let them get away with all sorts - namely the high boots, shoving Doyle off the the pitch, Carragher seemingly able to call the lino a oxf*rd with no repurcussions and generally letting them get away with fouls. Mind you, he didn't see Gunnars handball in the lead up to our goal so I guess I can't complain too much...

Gerrard pushed his luck in the decent stakes a few times too.

Thought he did alright. Not brilliant. Was over shadowed by the DREADFUL! lino, east stand side.

I actually think he was one of the best this season! Controlled the game well I feel, apart from the Kitson booking in the second half!

RobRoyale · by **RobRoyale** » 08 Apr 2007 00:22

You serious?

Debatable whether it should have been a sending off. Hand ball outside his box in the second half.

A handball outside the box by the goalkeeper is not an automatic sending off despite what some will have you believe, quite correctly a yellow card was given. Never a danger of it being red card with it not stopping an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

RobRoyale · by **RobRoyale** » 08 Apr 2007 00:37

OH!!! I saw it... just didn't see the card come out...
From Row C in R32 I couldn't actually see that he was outside the box. I assumed he jumped for it but just landed near/on/just over the line.
