The referee was bloody awful. 17:14 - Apr 6 with 5461 views | Snipper | He actually made Stroud look effective. Never gave Armstrong a thing, but as soon as he went off, he gave Dykes a free kick. You can see why he doesn’t get many matches. | ![](/images/avatars/1293.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
The referee was bloody awful. on 17:17 - Apr 6 with 4302 views | Juzzie | Wednesday were tugging, pulling, grabbing and all sorts. Ref just glazed over it. Still, we were shyte. Can’t keep expecting defenders and Chair to get our goals. Lots of effort from Armstrong but their no. 5 had the better of him all game. We had one shot on target and rarely threatened and on the odd occasion we did, we did look dangerous. Just didn’t do it often enough [Post edited 6 Apr 17:44]

The referee was bloody awful. on 18:15 - Apr 6 with 3865 views | Stanisgod | Just because it wasn't his fault we lost doesn't mean you can't call him out as shit. Prem ref, seriously. May as well have given the whistle to that scrote Bannan. Stood and watched him physically assault one of ours for about 10 metres before blowing then let him literally launch a tirade at him and did nothing. Never seen so much pulling and tugging go unpunished ever. A wet lettuce would have been more use. Having said that I'd have Bannan in my side any day. | ![](/images/avatars/1948.gif) |

The referee was bloody awful. on 18:21 - Apr 6 with 3833 views | Lanhoop | Did we lose just because of him, no. Did he contribute to a dreadful match, yes and much more than he should have done. Knew he was going to be had when he started the match being one-sided when he pulled Jimmy back 5 yards for his first 2 throw-ins then the first throw they got on the other side of the pitch he allows them to gain 20 yards or more. Pranced around the middle of the pitch as not fit enough to get around. Let Bannan ref the second half. How he let their 5 have 2 arms around Armstrong every time the ball headed in his direction I'll never know. Should be put out to grass if not put down and sent to the glue factory. Clueless donkey. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The referee was bloody awful. on 08:23 - Apr 7 with 2962 views | Hastings_Hoops | I think the absolute pinnacle of his lame performance was turning his back on Musaba as he stood and wound up R block after scoring their second.

The guy who scored the first goal took about 2 minutes to celebrate in front of the Lower Loft then inch his way back to their half for kick off and the referee just watched him do it. The 6 minutes added time was a joke: it should have been double figures. Our lot would’ve probably let a third goal in if it was though. [Post edited 7 Apr 9:32]

A player is going to seriously hurt someday if this baiting of the crowd of the continues . Most of the Sheffield wed players got involved including that little hobbit , Barry Bannan . Any incitement of the crowd should lead to a booking . I was right behind this incident and at that time Im thinking if someone comes on the pitch and punches his lights out. Well you had it coming. It’s wrong I know but this behaviour has to stop . | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
The referee was bloody awful. on 09:34 - Apr 7 with 2767 views | stevec | There’s was one point in the game, where we cocked up a throw in, that his reaction looked like he was thinking ‘what the hell am I doing, refereeing this rubbish’. To be fair, I was wondering the same. It does become laughable watching games like this and two crappy teams trying to reenact their premier league counterparts by diving and thinking the ref will fall for it. These players just don’t possess the skills required to carry it off. Memo to our lot; when your dive is faster than the speed you can run, it’s eye wateringly embarrassing, just stop it. If you push the ball past a player (god forbid) keep running, don’t offer your shoulder up to the defenders shoulder, go down like a shoot out in a 1940’s western, and expect a free kick. It’s too sad for words. As for the 6 extra minutes, I’d have been more than happy if he’d called the game off the moment we went 1-0 down. An abomination of a football match. | ![](/images/avatars/6823.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
The referee was bloody awful. on 09:38 - Apr 7 with 2750 views | saxbend | Yeah, I was not a fan of his style. But I did appreciate that he was largely consistent.

It was clear from the off that he was willing to let stuff go, so we should have got wise to that and matched Wednesday physically. As much as we’ve improved we’re still a bit soft and meek, I think. But he also wasn’t entirely consistent: there was a moment when Sinclair went into someone from behind but led with his shoulder: whistle goes, foul, fair enough. Two minutes later one of their players does exactly the same thing and it’s waved on. I thought we had a number of borderline free kicks go against us, but that they probably should have had a penalty, so I guess it evens out, and we were far from good enough regardless, but yeah he contributed to making an already poor spectacle even less enjoyable. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
