We can't blame the ref really but he did have a very poor game.

What really annoyed me was that not once did he warn their keeper for his constant timewasting. I always thought keepers were allowed 5-6 seconds to release the ball but he was constantly holding onto it for far longer than that and as he was never warned continued to do this until the end of the game,

A combination today of poor refereeing/their gamesmanship and the silly fouls we kept giving away.
In the second Brown was about to tackle their (good) no 27 when he just fell to the ground and got the fee-kick.

We still had chances to win the game but did not take them.

I thought the 25 - 30 'fouls' says it all. There were niggles but the Gateshead players conned the ref throughout the game, that or he couldn't wait to give them everything and virtually nothing of any note in their half for us.

Didn't let the game flow?

Errr I think you will find our 25 - 30 fouls stopped the game flowing


That's about his interpretation of things though. I didn't think they were all fouls by a long shot, and even then, you don't have to give a free kick, you can at least try to play an advantage. He looked to give everything, thus spoiling the game.
And, yes next Saturday I'll be in the middle for a glamorous UCL match, so I can speak as someone who puts themselves in that position on a regular basis.

Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

Each time two players came together, the Gateshead player would hit the ground. Result? Gateshead free kick. Every time - hence that stat of 25-30 fouls.

There were occasions when our players were fouled in similar fashion. Nothing doing. Arnold being fouled in the lead-up to their second being a case in point.

The ref looked like he'd recently graduated from ref school and wanted to make a decision on everything, even when there were 50/50s that needed no decision. Didn't once let the game flow, never played advantage.

He was petty, and just one of those that fell for the gamesmanship employed by Gateshead. Sadly these refs pop up from time to time and it's annoying.

Having said all that, I don't believe he influenced the final result. He was very poor, easily influenced - and what Pearson was booked for I'll never know. Seemed to gesture that Rankine led with his elbow, which he did. Unless I missed something.

Look if we engineerd more goals than they scored then the free kicks we constantly gave away are irrelevant. But we didn't

We let the ball loose too frequently resulting in our players putting in their body and limbs into positions that invited free kick decisions which were far too often simply free kicks.

Too often we bothered players and fouled Gateshead players when frankly the Gateshead player could  do no harm. In such instances I found my self shouting "don't dive in, leave him alone, don't foul", but alas, our players would dive in, giving away flouls. It was being really naive in the challenge.

Let's not be daft about it. YES they committed fouls too and the referee was  wry consistent in a acting on what he saw. Hey he gave a red card to one of theirs, not ours.

As fans we have to man up a bit and accept that on the whole the ref did a grand job

Sorry but you are wrong the ref did influence the game Arnold was clearly fouled in the build up to their second goal.

"Too often we bothered players" ???

WTF it's YOU who needs to "man up"

Its a contact sport you sit off players at your peril give me a Scotty Brown any day.

As for diving in I just wish somebody had done that outside the box for their first goal that was a massive error from our usually good defence.

"Grand job" my backside

Poor ref in my eyes and lots of others

Be interested to know what the other qualified refs on here thought. I try not to criticise, but felt he demonstrated a number of qualities that are not what I'd want to see in the game.
