The ref (see PGMOL thread)

Great game of football 1st half then that look at me I want to be the centre of attention twat does that. You see teams mobbing the refs and nowt. You can't tell me that they're all using the same language as a Nun. They should be microphones up like the rugby refs so it can be looked at later for any inconsistency. You'd end up with a couple of players from each side left.

It looks like he’d had second thoughts, after giving the first yellow instead of a straight red, and took the opportunity to make amends with the soft second yellow. Poor refereeing on both counts.

Then where were his thoughts when Greenwood went in studs-up whilst on a yellow? Neither made contact but, if Neil’s is deemed likely a red card offence, Greenwood’s is 100% another yellow, minimum.
He’s given them the points and ruined a game which was end to end and on a knife edge first half all due to his I’m in charge stance for the cameras.
It was one of the most bizarre performances I’ve ever seen and coupled with the Wolves debacle last season should see him removed from the rosta in this country.

Get back to Australia you f***ing freak, you aren’t wanted.

When I was umpiring cricket, it was always impressed on us how important it was not to try to "correct" an earlier mistake with a deliberate wrong decision. It only makes things worse; the players just think you don't know what you're doing.

Spot-on.

Even then, it’s not a definite red in the first place. If you asked all of the neutral viewers I would suspect it would be split 50/50

You also had the Boro player diving and claiming a foul which wasn't given, so how can he not book him for simulation. Fekkin Fosters drinking 4x prick.

Two things really, really pissing me off about this. All evidence points to this ref being a total and utter jobsworth. Looking at the evidence, he tells Mowbray and Carrick he’s going to show empathy, given the occasion, point one. We then have video evidence in the past of him, being micd up for the cameras for Var.

There’s videos showing him doing very similar to another player who had been booked to make a point despite there being other players round him showing a higher level of dissent, but he chose the player who was to make a point. In the same passage of play Hume does probably worse than Neil.

However Neil is the one on the yellow card, so the ref being the jobsworth he is, steps up and does exactly what a person of his nature does. You get people like this in life, however in my opinion, they should not be a referee of football. It’s about consistency, and overall fairness, however he’s clearly one of those people who’s in it for Himself and will regularly do stuff like this to show how good he is to the powers that be.

I hope and pray we don’t get him at the sol again, because all the evidence points to him repeating this, and whilst it could be in our favour, it may not be again.

Point 2 is the consistency, as I’ve said he’s clearly a jobsworth, all the evidence shows this. He’s made his big headline gesture, and will be so quick to go back to his bosses to make the point of him doing it. However what isn’t acknowledged is everything else that happened that was just ignored as far as a person of his nature is concerned he’d ticked his box.

Nothing done about an elbow, nothing done about the pull back, nothing done about the diving, nothing done about the persistent fouling, nothing done about goading the crowd, no foul on Patterson despite it being worse than the two he gave to the boro keeper. The list goes on and on.

I’m not excusing our pathetic performance after going down to 10, boro deserved their win, however this absolute wanker of a bloke, should be removed completely from refereeing for everyone’s sake. It’s not sour grapes, it’s the evidence that points to him not being cut out for this role. I just hope we don’t see him again, and would love it if the bloke was removed from the job all together, so that this can’t happen anywhere else in the country.

A referee needs to be fair and consistent, it’s not about him and getting further in his career which is exactly what a jobsworth always does.
