I was disappointed to read that it was his last game to referee, especially as I thought he looked very good. It might answer the reason he never sent off Murphy for his kick out e.g. he could referee it based upon reading the situation rather than worrying about what the assessors would mark him down on!! Thought he got most decisions right, apart from he could have given Orient a penalty in the first half. Also thought he wasn’t falling for play acting by both teams, mainly Orient, but Rodrigues does it a lot too. Really getting disappointed with him (Rodrigues). Put it this way, not one fan has blamed him for our loss!! so he must have had a good game. Not sure the Orient fans thought the same though, but who gives a s**t about them!
Edit; apparently it wasn’t the referee’s last game, but the fourth official’s. I only believed this because I read it in Tim Williams’ program notes, but he got that wrong too! Nice of him to mention this in his notes, but not to mention that it was Chris Williams last day after being at the club for 20+ years.
ps hope we’re all looking forward to the Fans Forum on Thursday 7th March, between 6.30-8pm, whereby, we can ask questions to our illustrious CEO and Chairman of the overseas golf club.
