Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Rewatched the game again today and I thought the same at the game on Tuesday night. The refs display was admirable. He didn't play up to the home crowd and was very fair in the way he controlled the game. Refreshing to see especially reffing a match at a place like Old Trafford. We've been on the end of some shit decisions in European competition over the years ie the penalty we never had at home to Sevilla last season and the shocker Collina had against us in Turkey, would be great to see more of the same standard of referreeing.

mrmytto 220 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The amount of yellow cards that they should have had for one thing or another would have beaten the number received by Holland in the World Cup Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I said the same to the guy next to me. He was a strong ref who didn't get caught up in the atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I just think it would have been very easy for him to stitch us up at Old Trafford especially with Ferguson's reputation of lambasting referee's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa6995 3,645 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Never even noticed him which means he had a great game.He could have given us a penalty but could have given them two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldoKrfc 106 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Thought he was excellent tbh, even gave us a few soft freekicks at times so i'll take that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycassidy1802 37 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I thought the ref did a smashing job, two dubious handball shouts they had on us could have been given and everyone would have went nuts.He got it all right IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 booked Mcgregor because the fans staring booing. it wasn't even that long in the game,and he books him for time-wasting.after that he was good but. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Apart from McGregor's booking I can't remember calling him a wanker. Although we should have had a penalty I can understand it was not given as well. As for the handball by Edu, Giggs handled it first. All in all he had a very good game.

Ozblue 4,331 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 He was pretty good except for booking shagger for the time wasting business...and when Rooney should have been carded for the neck swinger effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sasac 164 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Kept calm throughout, although there were no major incidents in the game. The possible penalty for us would have been a difficult one to spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grfc1975 1 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 did not notice the ref on tuesday night, which in my eyes means that the manin the middle was spot on with almost every decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
