So Saturday sees Scott Duncan come out The Championship to ref our local derby, as previous please post all your thoughts, rants and ratings after the game. I thought I saw Jules do a write up yesterday but for the life of me can't find it?

Michael Salisbury 6.35
Carl Boyeson 5.81
Lee Swabey 5.78
 
Right here goes, I thought his decisions even themselves out. Eardley was fouled when they hit the post, just before the highlights show them hitting the post, he was quite vocal towards the ref at the time and I wouldn't blame him. The ref played an excellent advantage just before the ball ran to Andrade to cross when Harry got the 3rd goal, you can see it on the highlights, though I didn't see him go back and yellow the offender for a nasty challenge. On the whole though he kept the game flowing for me so:

7/10
 
8/10 Think he basically had a very good game maybe a couple of wrong desicions imo in the first half one for us, one against. Though he was a lot closer than me. So I might be wrong.

My only real markdown would be when we had a corner just after we had gone 3-1 up and Akinde was what looked like to me obviously pulled to the ground by his shirt in the box and nothing was given.

It was a different NCFC from the two games last year, Nolan wasn’t trying to ref the game and his players weren’t up to the antics of 12 months ago. Maybe because he was an experienced Championship referee.
 
7/10.

The odd weird decision, Eardley for example, but it was a straight forward game to ref I thought. Notts lack of bite and physicality meant we didn't really have to get stuck in too much.
 
I am going to be somewhat abnormal in my appreciation for this guy. He did well, very well, I thought.

8/10
 
Cut above the normal refs we get, just the odd mistake but nothing too bar missing the foul on Eards that nearly lead to a goal otherwise good
7.5/10
 
Did very well for me, played on for Eardley incident so for me recovered his mistake, 9 for me we have been fortunate to have some decent Refs up to now.

come on boys
 
9/10 for me. Let the game flow as much as he could. No idea why, but I was a little concerned that a lack of bookings could be followed by a straight red at some time. Didn't happen though. Can't even find much to moan about with the lino either!
