The Referee for our 1-0 defeat at home against Bromley FC in the Vanarama National League was <b>Michael Salisbury</b>.
<b>Let's take a look at the Ratings & Comments he received:</b>
<b>Lowest:</b> 2
<b>Highest:</b> 6
<b>Average:</b> 4.43
<b>plumbob:</b> "5/10.
Far from the worst. Little picky perhaps but didn't change the game. Very weak though and should have booked more than he did."
<b>The Imposter:</b> "6/10. Not as bad as has been suggested."
<b>Scotimp:</b> "5/10 at best. Very officious, would not allow Lincoln to take quick free kicks; always had to wait for the whistle, which eventually came once Bromley had regrouped in numbers and allowed the ref to trot 50 yards into his chosen position. The decision to penalise Rhead for the flick on to Hawkridge was incredible, I have no idea what he saw there. He should have booked Cook for persistent mouthing off - he was at the ref for the whole of the second half, I can't believe the ref did nothing; eventually he talked to him about it but did not book him. So when Cook was eventually booked for some shenanigans with Wood, he should actually have been given a second yellow. Having said that, he was consistently poor and gave strange decisions both ways."
<b>implausible:</b> "4/10. Rhead was not permitted to challenge fairly for the ball and when we challenged and won the ball it was a foul but they seemed to get away with all sorts of skullduggery. The stats back that up, 16 fouls against 7 but we are not a dirty team."
