Bankes in for Huddersfield clash - Referee Thursday, 9th Feb 2017 18:18 by Clive Whittingham Peter Bankes from Merseyside is in charge of QPR's tough home game with Huddersfield this weekend, his second Rangers appointment of the season. Referee >>> Peter Bankes (Merseyside), two QPR appointments last season, two wins. We should have him stuffed. Assistants >>> Darren Blunden (Kent) and Geoffrey Russell (Northants), Blunden ran the line in the Sunderland game too. Fourth Official >>> Antony Coggins HistoryQPR 1 Sunderland 2, Wednesday September 21, 2016, League Cup Third Round Subs Not Used: Smithies, Onuoha, Borysiuk, Paul Goals: Sandro 60 (assisted Lynch) Sunderland: Pickford 6; Denayer 5 (Love 69, 6), O’Shea 6, Djilobodji 6, van Aanholt 6; NDong 8, Kirchhoff 6, McNair 8, Gooch 5 (Cattermole 69, 7); Watmore 6, Asoro 5 (Maja 69, 7) Subs not used: Jones, Mika, Kone, Greenwood Goals: McNair 70 (assisted Watmore), 80 (assisted NDong) Referee — Peter Bankes (Merseyside) 8 Excellent for almost the whole game, letting a fairly wild encounter run its bumbling course unchecked to the benefit of the neutrals. Seemed to lose the plot a bit in injury time, having only added three minutes to the end of the game he then didn’t really seem to know what to do about Sunderland intentionally running down all of that with several spurious injuries. Overall though, very decent indeed. QPR 1 Leeds United 0, Saturday November 28, 2015, Championship Ale Faurlin was exemplary in the middle of the midfield, but a seventh minute free kick booted off towards Acton after Hoilett had been felled by Liam Bridcutt — the Sunderland loanee was booked on his debut — wasn’t his finest hour. Nor was Hoilett’s header straight up in the air on the half hour after a good cross from Paul Konchesky — even lesser spotted than QPR youth team players in the first team. Nor was Robert Green inexplicably deciding to come charging 40 yards away from his goal to try, and fail, to intercept a straightforward Leeds punt down the field leaving Chris Wood to stride round him but take too long over the finish to exploit the open goal. The teams both had similar penalty appeals waved away by referee Peter Bankes either side of half time. Hoilett seemed to have been clearly pushed under a Konchesky cross for the first, Wood likewise for the second, but neither were awarded. QPR: Green 5; Perch 6, Onuoha 7, Hall 7, Konchesky 6; Petrasso 6 (Austin 57, 7), Sandro 7, Faurlin 8, Yun 6 (Chery 57, 7), Hoilett 7 (Henry 89, -), Phillips 6 Subs not used: Luongo, Smithies, Angella, Tozser Goals: Austin 58 (assisted Faurlin) Leeds: Silvestri 7; Wootton 5, Belusci 5, Cooper 5, Taylor 5; Mowatt 6 (Botaka 67, 5), Bridcutt 6, Cook 6, dallas 6; Antenucci 5 (Erwin 80, -), Wood 4 Subs not used: Byram, Murphy, Doukara, Adeyemi, Peacock-Farrell Booked: Bridcutt 6 (foul), Wootton 35 (foul), Cook 82 (foul) Referee — Peter Bankes (Merseyside) 7 At the time I thought the Junior Hoilett penalty appeal looked a stick on, but I haven’t seen it back. Thought his time keeping was intriguing — two minutes added to the end of a first half when Dallas had been down for twice that by himself, then four minutes in the second despite a lack of injuries and goals. But overall, pretty decent - kept control nicely, not a lot of cards, good advantage played at times. Wolves 2 Queens Park Rangers 3, Wednesday August 19, 2015, Championship It took a quarter of an hour for the first goal to arrive. Matt Phillips thought he should have had a free kick down the QPR left but referee Peter Bankes, rightly, said no and the home team broke away down their right. James Henry's cross was deflected by Paul Konchesky and the ball fell to Afobe on the six yard line who took one touch and then dispatched it into the bottom corner. The travelling faithful in the side stand feared Ramsey's Cardiff experience had made him timid with his substitutions. Faurlin seemed to be blowing hard. Bankes booked Nedum Onuoha for the tackle of the match on the hour and Green, having stood so far off to his right he was closer to the corner flag than his left hand post, was nowhere close to getting back across to Afobe's free kick as it flew over the wall and, mercifully, into the side netting. Henry was also booked on his return to the club he supports — a sensible, cynical, tactical foul as Wolves threatened another counter. Bankes added five extra minutes, seemingly because he was enjoying the game so much rather than because there had been a load of substitutions or injuries in the second half (there hadn't) but there was to be no last-second heartbreak for Rangers this time and the players celebrated on the pitch with their manager at full time. Wolves: Martinez 3; Iorfa 6, Stearman 6, Hause 5, Golbourne 6; Henry 7 (Van La Parra 63, 6), Coady 6, McDonald 7, Edwards 7; Afobe 8, Dicko 7 (Le Fondre 46, 5) Subs not used: Ikeme, Price, Doherty, Ojo, Ebanks-Landell Goals: Afobe 17 (assisted Henry/Edwards), McDonald 24 (unassisted) Bookings: Hause 45 (foul), Le Fondre 74 (foul), Coady 90+4 (foul) QPR: Green 7; Perch 6, Hall 6, Onuoha 6, Konchesky 5; Faurlin 7 (Polter 89, -), Henry 7; Luongo 8, Chery 8 (Doughty 78, 7), Phillips 8; Austin 7 Subs not used: Hill, Gladwin, Lumley, Emmanuel-Thomas, Hoilett Goals: Austin 38 (assisted Phillips), Phillips 52 (assisted Luongo), 72 (assisted Luongo) Bookings: Onuoha 60 (foul), Henry 64 (foul) Referee — Peter Bankes (Merseyside) 7 Thought he got the Onuoha booking badly wrong, that looked a good tackle to me, and where on earth he got five minutes at the end from when the second half had three substitutions, three goals and no injuries I don't know. Overall though, pretty decent. StatsA busy week for Bankes, who had Wigan's 2-2 draw with Norwich on Tuesday night, and quite a busy season overall really with 10 red cards handed out already in 26 appointments. Seven of those reds came in a mad nine match spell either side of our cup game with Sunderland — where no cards were shown. There was also a season-high ten yellows at Newcastle v Norwich in that period as well, with the hosts scoring twice in injury time to snatch the game. He last refereed Huddersfield in their 1-0 home win against Derby in October when they also scored in added time.Last season he went through the first 17 games of the season without showing a red card at all, and only showed one in his first 26 appointments. Then, suddenly, he showed four in his final 13 games of the season which, when combined with the start of this season, mean Bankes has flashed eight in his last 20 appointments.
