We are quick enough to slag refs off but thought he had an excellent game today. It was a refreshing change to say the least. |  | | |  |

Made a mistake and gave us a penalty he'll be in the Championshio next week. |  |

I agree with that, said the same thing to the guy say next to me.
He provided the correct penalty for the regular kicks being aimed in our direction. It was refreshing to see a performance like that in the flesh; I’ve seen some crap this year. |  |

One of the better ones. | | | |

Let too much to go early on I thought, and let them take free kicks from almost where they wanted, but yes, let the game flow and was unbiased, which is more than you can say about a lot of refs we've seen at the Liberty. | | | |

The best in the prem. I'd have him for every game and keep Mason, Madley, Dean and all the other shit well away. |  |

Wouldn't have given the pen if we hadn't already won the game.
The Ayews got away with a few challenges that should have been yellows early on. Plus he booked two West Ham players after Swan dives (Noble vs King, Arnautovic vs Naughton).
We've seen worse. | | | |

He didn't see Antonio's blatant push in the back on Fernandez for their goal but apart from that he did well. Was it only me that saw that push? | | | |

Was slightly kinder to us than he was to West Ham, let us walk the line a lot more.
Nice feeling to have | |

Noble should have been booked a lot earlier it was only his fifth foul. | |

Thought he was great!
Can’t remember the last time we had a homer!!
Of all the shite refs we’ve had, and all the shite decisions we’ve had against us, it’s about time! | | | |

I agree. It is very rare we have a ref who gives us the benefit of the doubt.
A couple of times I thought he would pull us up but he let us play on. Conversely he spotted every foul by them with gusto.
I actually almost had some sympathy with their ironic cheers when they got a few free kicks late on.
Perhaps we better not broadcast this too loudly or Atkinson will be back with a vengeance next time. [Post edited 4 Mar 2018 15:23]

Incredible how he picked up an offside and the lino didn't. Made me laugh how he stuck his flag when it was given. |  | | |

Genuinely nice bloke in real life according to someone I know who used to work in the hotel where the refs all stay. Most of the refs are arrogant dicks apparently (especially Mike dean unsurprisingly) but Atkinson is always happy to stop and chat about football and has time for everyone. |  |
