No, I’m not one of these deluded supporters that blindly blames the referee if my team rightly loses; however, like most people, I will make observations on a referees performance, good or bad.
As you’re strangely insisting on specific examples to make my point ‘valid’, I will refer to Cootes last two performances involving Luton. The Man united game was as poor and spineless a display I have seen for some time. His decision making was very inconsistent, in that he will let certain fouls go, but then will penalise a similar foul a few minutes later; some call it ‘big club bias’, which might be the case. The Ross Barkley slide tackle by the bobbers immediately springs to mind.
The spineless element of his performance relates to Onana consistently time wasting on every goal kick (as was seen against Coventry and rightly penalised by Rob Jones), however Coote failed to book him. Despite there being several stoppages for injuries,substitutions, and time wasting in the second half, Coote only signalled for 6 minutes injury time. Edwards pointed this out during his post match press conference, which was very telling, as Edwards doesn’t usually comment on an officials performance, unless he has very good reason to.
I echo the above sentiments for his performance against Wolves. Very inconsistent decision making and this directly impacts upon the flow of the game.
Tim Robinson has officiated numerous of our matches throughout the divisions, particularly last season, whereby I recall a very poor performance, largely due to his volatile inconsistency.
On the other hand, we have had some good referees; Simon Hooper, Rob Jones and Andy Maddley. The common theme between them was that they all allowed the game to flow, by not constantly giving soft fouls, and staying consistent in their decision making and approach throughout.
I’m not a referee basher (for the sake of it), by I will justifiably be angry when I witness a piss poor performance; just like I will praise them when they have a good one.
