Neil Hair was the man in the middle today.
A contentious (shall we say) decision before half time might sway some opinions on this one but comments and votes out of 10 if you please
 
4. Looked like he'd just turned up after an all night bender and had no idea what he was doing. I think he (eventually) got their penalty call right and correctly turned away a couple of other shouts but the challenge on Diamond was as much a foul as Jackson's.
 
1. Shite.

Jackson - pen
Diamond - probably pen

The random calls throughout the game like Roughan’s throw being rescinded for the wrong placement without instruction and the handball where their player fell on the ball without anyone around were weird.

Had no control and no clue about what was going on.

Jackson should also have gone based on the type of foul - no attempt to play the ball.

Doesn’t know the rules.

Rubbish.
 
First half - 1, second half 6, so averages out around 3/10.

If he reffed the first half the way he reffed the second it would have been a more even game.

Missed too much, could/should have been 3 pens? - eg Jacko's subtle tug and theatrical dive for pen but also missed similar when Bolton's 6, outpaced by Garrick, had a fistful of Garrick"s shirt to hold him back and start a few minutes of aggro between the pair.

He and lino both missed assault on Jacko which, irrespective of whether 'he started it' was a red.
