Ref Watch Oxford United V Carlisle United L1 12/8/2023 Jeremy Simpson

[Sarge]

Bang average IMO not good not bad, few things missed nothing too controversial - couple of odd decisions by one of the assistants- but ok ish as a team all in all - 5 from me

 

[Marked Ox]

Very inconsistent after 15 minutes.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Not a difficult game to ref IMO (despite the four or five yellow cards shown) and I think he was perfectly adequate. He did fall for a few 'artistic' falls and I am sure we should have had a corner in the second half when he (or his lino) awarded a goal kick.

One thing I didn't understand was the timekeeping. In the added time at the end of the game there was definitely more timewasting, but he blew as soon as the 8 minutes was over. I have some sympathy though - surely the timekeeping should be taken out of the on field ref's hands?

We've certainly had worse! A 7 from me.

 

[Foley]

An easy game to referee and I thought he did fine.
7 from me

 

[bazzer9461]

Average for me so 7

 

[dickwalton1964]

Didn’t notice him too much so I think he did alright. A very straightforward game of football to referee.

Two incidents that I am unsure about, The 'tackle' on Browne early on, from the North Stand, it looked like no contact with the ball and a stone wall pen.
Then late on in the half from a corner their guy had 2 hands on Moore's shirt and was pulling him away - at this point he was no more than 5 yards away and had a clear view.
