Ref Watch - Millers v Birmingham City

Likes his yellow / red cards does our Keith…

Sure he recently refereed a Swansea vs Stoke City game and ruled out a goal for Stoke when the opposing keeping went to throw the ball out as a player was standing back up after a tackle in the box, the ball hit the Stoke City player on the head.
Goalkeeper was deemed to have both hands on the ball and in control .
The outcome was a free kick to Swansea.

Not seen the incident so can’t give an opinion whether it was controversial or not.

Just what we need - a visit from Mr Stroud. I don’t think for one moment he is biased or corrupt, but he is the most unpredictable of referees. He sees things in a way that nobody else does.

He's on the same page as Trevor Kettle in my book!

He is woeful. But it won't ruin the return. Nothing will. Get yourselves up fans on this forum. We have had it rubbish this season. That is going to change. RUFC are gonna be back !.

Wonder what the odds are of Stevie being red carded by Keith Stroud and sent to the stands.
Wouldn’t surprise me if SE watched part of the game in the stands sat next to his ‘ Uncle Tony ‘.

That’s after he’s taken all the accolades from his adoring fans.

Sometimes you see a different game up in the stands as opposed to being at pitch level.
