An absolute disgrace... and after only 45mins

I'll see how the second half goes. If he's decent in the next 45 minutes, I might give him 1/10.

For me Darren Drysdale, Trevor Kettle and Keith Hill are awful referees and that's being nice. I don't think they favour either team but just are not very good and arrogant with it.

 

[Manorlounger]

A disgrace to his colleagues and to supporters countrywide.

 

[Gary Baldi]

I couldn't vote higher than a 0 because he got so many big moments wrong. If he made the game less about him, he'd probably be a good Ref, but he doesn't, so he's not.

 

[Tenbury Yellow]

Just seen highlights on television. If that is a penalty then I despair. Gnanduillet barged Dickie.

There do seem to be a few refs that seem to think that they have to be the star of the show.
The league should be monitoring these performances and having words.

The referee was a long way away when he gave it.
The worst thi ng for me a out his performance was his inconsistency.
The ond good thing that he did was to book their keeper early in the second d half for timewasting. That at least meant that we didnt have to put up with that all half.

 

[Malc]

There is only one good type of referee and that is the one you don't see during a match.
Drysdale was more visible than an exploding atomic bomb.

 

[Banbury2018]

The football league paper gave him 7/10. Clearly no reporter at the game again.

 

[Gary Baldi]

7/10 as he got big decisions wrong for both teams, so therefore he was consistent and good.

What do PGMOL do with their Refs? Drysdale hasn't improved at all in the past few years, so clearly there is a distinct issue with that organisation
