He wasn’t ready to come on, it was our problem.
Looked to me like he was standing on the touchline ready, but was being held back by the 4th official because he had not seen Thompson go off on the other side of the pitch. It was only when the noise from the crowd alerted him that he allowed him on.
4th official was making him take a ring off from what I could see. Can understand the ref losing patience with it. Best ref down Fratton Park this season.
Thanks for the explanation ... couldn't see that from the North Stand. Yes, poor from the player if it was not one he always wears.. And yes, the ref was heads and shoulders the best we've had this season. I particularly liked him barking the order 'no blocking' at corners.
