4 from me sounds like he’s not being very fair in the 2nd half
Worst ref ever
Bell end. Complete homer. Put the whistle to his lips and started to point to the spot but changed his mind.
I thought he wasnt bad for quite a lot of the time- then waved away the pen shouts ( 3 of them!!!) , and, despite the red card, certainly after it, he seemed to give everything to Luton, turned into afucking homer. 3 from me

The only thing he got right all night was the red card. Him and his officials were awful and it's clear as day there is no improvement in officials from league one to the championship.

It's a big fat zilch for me. How he choked that pen I will never know. Sorry but even Stevie Wonder gives that one.
Also the booking for El Mizouni for a handball after he had been pulled to the ground was a joke. There were many others in that 2nd half that were just awful decisions.

More like Andy Bell.
I knew him at school and he knew f**k all about football just like this knob

Sorry to contradict, but booking him for the handball was one that he actually got right. The decision not to blow earlier is one I'm not happy with either, but as for the handball, the replay showed he purposely pulled the ball back under himself to keep it from the 2 opposing players.

Ok for me bar the 1st penalty shout and he lost it a bit after the red card.
On initial viewing, didn't think the 2nd/3rd penalty shouts were penalties. The 1st was but I don't think Tyler G helped by immediately playing on and maybe changed his mind. As an aside Rubes should have at least forced a save from that attack.

Did you enjoy him guys ? Did warn you he shouldnt be anywhere near football. The guy blows his whistle for very little and then totally misses shirt pulls,fouls etc. As if his mind wanders elsewhere. Oh well he ll get a game next week. 7 yellows and another red maybe. Have a good season
Inept, biased, clueless, bottle job. W@nker
You too mate
Definitely penalty he clearly puts the whistle to his lips he also starts to walk as if he was going to point to the spot …. Cheating bastard 1 from me

Very poor. Got several major decisions wrong, wasn't consistent.

I don’t think it’s a penalty, expected contact for me, and would be disappointed to have it against me.
Process is messy but ultimately feel correct outcome.

and as fans thats all we ask. Yours is a stonewall pen. If not where s the booking for diving ? Its a free kick all over the park but the ref bottled it. We know referees have got a hard job but surely they shouldnt get decisions wrong when 10 yards away with no defenders blocking the view. He gave (guessed) a pen against us for Chesterfield when his view was obscured. Consistency is all we ask as fans. He sent our defender off for violent conduct. He didnt see the foul and ran back to half way line ready for the goal kick. The lino 60 yards away (obscured view) gave the decision. Shocking. Ill be looking for his next game and sticking more money on his bookings count. Bell is so inconsistant it winds both players and fans up. It ll be another card fest

Don’t agree with this. There are still plenty of mistakes but the standard in the Champ has been better I reckon.

Easily better imo.
Slightly better, bell was s**t, if Harris’s was a pen so was this one.

I think the standard of reffing IS generally better - but this one was a dud IMO.

Easily better. Based on last night, James Bell is still not as bad as Darren Drysdale, Charles Brakespear or the cherry on top Seb Stockbridge. And previous seasons the likes of Trevor Kettle whose son is now a Ref in the EFL*.
*Reffed the Barrow vs Swindon fixture and had a good game.
