I thought he was very good considering some of pitiful examples that we've seen for so long now. Didn't let Burton kick the crap out of us. Wish we'd have someone like him when we play a lee bowyer/barton team where that's there main game plan.
Totally wrong what's happening to referees (particularly in local football) nowadays, but in the professional game the standard should be higher with proper qualifications. Pay them well, train them well and maybe they will perform better. It's time they were treated as key members of the game. Right now, they are not helping themselves by mostly being incapable of doing the job that they'd like to do, and it doesn't help their chances of being respected by others.
