I still wonder why he gave them a penalty.

out of interest are there ANY referees you don't have a grudge against? In this country? At a professional level?

I hope the assistants don't fall over too often

[RoyalChicagoFC]

Andy ("Walked On Down The") Hall

[Skyline]

Assistants: S J Martin and A Williams

I wondered what Adie was up to while his assault charge was being processed...

[Silver Fox]

I think my little gag about the assistants and former royals was a little bit too subtle

I got it

[PieEater]

He seems VERY card happy. What's he like awarding pens to divers?

[Big Foot]

Very poor refereeing today, lost control.

Seen players sent off before for the challenge Chopra put in on Federici first half....

[AbovetheI]

It's been a while since we've been fucked over by a ref like that at home. He was a disgrace.

[Mr Loyal Royal]

Just couldn't manage, not sure he affected the outcome of the game though, most referees would've kept Chropra on tbf.

[rg6royal]

Didn't help that the Lino on the East Stand side looked about 60.

[Thames]

Worst ref ever.

[rfcjoe]

He wasn't why we were shit today, but he didn't help.

[brendywendy]

he was awful

but luckily his poor decisions went both ways

linos were worse, looked to be at least offside, if not a couple of fouls against in the run up to their goal

[kwik-silva]

Missed an elbow on Doobs and Chopra surely should have been sent off. Thought that alot of what they got wasn't given to us
