I wasn't commenting on the ref really. More just the general trend that when we lose we think refs are crap and when we win easy and they have a man sent off we think they're fantastic.

As for proof just take a look at this boards posts about refs when we lose.

Just gave me a smile that today's got a post specifically praising him. When was the last time we lost and someone on here posted to say how good the ref was. Lol

If anything the ref was too lenient with them early on. Random fouls are one thing, but targeting a player - as Roberts was targeted - and consistently fouling him should get a heavy punishment.
Still, he got it sorted eventually and I don't see how they can complain. A few more refs like that and football would be a great deal more fun to watch.

I disagree lol! The refs have been dire for a long while at the Proact and in the main we've been winning. The last two have been remarkably better and for one of those games v Orient we lost so I'm not sure how you stand with your argument Lol!

Certainly the ball seemed to be in flight whilst the ref's whistle was still blowing but whether it was kicked before he commenced blowing I am not sure.

Their keeper seemed very interested in the replay shown on the big screen but I thought he might be looking to see if there was a possibility of offside or an infringement as there would be no sound coming from the big telly.

However, let's be honest - if he hadn't have dropped it there would have been no goal.

The ref got it all wrong at Rochdale last week with a free kick, wrong place, no foam, and possibly no whistle and a goal that cost us a point so maybe things do even up a bit - difference being we were already ahead and running the show.

The whistle seemed to come just a second after Banks touched the ball; it crossed my mind for a milli second that something had happened biut everyone appeared to play on. If the ref blowing his whistle after the kick had been so obvious, our players would have stopped as well - as it was we kept playing abd scored. No more than we deserved, Fleetwood were cynical and were lucky to have only one man leave the pitch - some of the challenges on Morsey were dreadful. As for alexander - he's a nob - always has been always will be

I did think he blew the whistle after the free kick leading to our second goal which would explain the dissent from the player who got sent off. I couldn't believe the goal stood to be honest. I was fully expecting him to have the kick re taken.

Agree with that

One of the best referees I've seen at Town this season. He picked up everything. Fleetwood were the most cyncial side I've seen this season. Disgrace to the game and they should receive a fine just for their attitude and for bringing the game into disrepute.

Some horrible tackles and the ref, to his credit, picked them up everytime. They spent most of the game gesticulating with arms open wide every time they gave a way a foul or a throw didn't go their way.

As for their manager, obscene signs in front of children; what a plonker.

They deserved to lose by even more. Awful side.

There are loads of qualified referees on this board and they can see every off side no matter where they are in the ground and every foul, the truth is its a hard job some are better at it than others , we even have people who think you can be offside from a goalkick so dont read into opinions on refs too much 99.9 % ( clarevoyant apart) are clueless.
