That has to be the most inept, inconsistent performance by a referee seen for a long time.
His control of Shrewsbury’s dark arts was non-existant. They must have kicked the ball away at least 20 times and this fool did nothing.
 
He had no control of the game and forgot which players he'd told one more foul and you're booked. He rightly booked Dickie, but then let off worse fouls until the point where even he realised he had to book a player as it had got a bit silly - the cheer from the crowd said a lot when the first card came out.

The sort of ref where you feel sorry for some players as they are kicked to bits and the ref just doesn't give a foul unless you fall over and scream.
 
Thanks, Sarge, for figuring out how to include the -1. I'm surprised, though, that you didn't use it!
 
He was very poor but that wasn’t the full reason why we didn’t manage many goal attempts. Shrewsbury’s pressing of our players was very impressive. An off day and we still get a point in the sort of game we used to lose so not all bad.

It's really telling that there are two votes for 10, obviously from Shrews fans. They recognize perfectly just how well the ref did for them. And they're correct.
 
Absolute rubbish. Inconsistent, weak, alternately fussy and then slapdash. The only reason I didn't give him a minus was that I didn't think he was biased - just easily conned and incompetent. He had no authority whatsoever and I think his performance actually DID influence the game - if nothing else, we saw about half the amount of actual play we normally get!
