Rate the ref v Northampton Town F A Cup (home)

A few bizzare decisions and he made a rod for his own back with his pedantry over our throw in but in general he did ok. I must say he was not helped by the second official running the line on the coop side who got several easy decisions wrong and was generally 10 yards behind play. However we rate the ref not his team so 7/10 from me...
 
7/10. He didn’t dive in and make rash decisions unlike others we’ve seen recently. Got the Shackell yellow right, but was wrong about the foul on Shay that should have been a penalty.
 
7. Just a thought on the time added on extra, if you analyse it, he added 4 minutes extra to 5 minutes due. I think even by our standards to waste four minutes out of 5 is a bit extreme !
Or to put it another way, 5 minutes out of 45 were added, then 4 minutes out of 5
