RATE THE REF - Paul Tierney (Match 38: Brentford (A) - Sunday 22/05/22)

[velo]

Before the game I was expecting to give Mike Dean a low score cause he likes to make the game about him so I’m truly pleased that he was kidnapped before the game and someone wearing a MD mask reffed.

7/10

[velo]

So we are actually praising him for not being corrupt ?

[Finnatic]

7/10 and I can’t stand the man, so he must have had a fair game.

Hi Velo yea seems that way, I think he was pretty fair to both sides today for a change, I did think Antonio could have been sent off for two yellows but the second yellow would have been for diving and they rarely appear

Credit where's credits due, I hate MD with a passion, but I hold my hands up he was fair, yes Antonio should have walked, but that was never going to happen

[Johnboy1965]

Was pretty fair which makes a nice change.

This is the first time I've ever rated the ref.....8/10 (an extra point for having a joke with our Jack when giving him the match ball )

[Lorimer46]

7/10 , got most of the big calls right, one of the better refereeing performances this season

[Byebyegeegee]

Could have sent Antonio off twice. 1st for the studs up tackle on Koch for which he gave a yellow which he could easily have given a red. The 2nd when he could have given Antonio a 2nd yellow for the cheating dive in our penalty area. Apart from that he and VAR (for once) got most of the other decisions right 7/10

[mentalcase]

I'll give a steady 7, nah make that 6, Antonio was a red for that studs up challenge, do I say that because I'm United, no, I say that simply because in todays game, a game where our players get a straight red for that sort of challenge, the same applies.
A win on t' road in london, lets go .....mental.

Score: Leeds 0 v 1 Newcastle

Cards:
Red - 0
Yellow - 6 (Leeds: 4 Llorente, Dallas, James & Rodrigo; Newcastle: 2 Dummett & Saint-Maximin)

Score out of 10 for today's ref - Chris Kavanagh

[Byebyegeegee]

Referees in general never seem to get on top of time wasting and Kavanagh was particularly culpable today. I often think they don’t try and stop it because they are glad of a breather themselves, but Newcastle’s time wasting gamesmanship in this match was very obvious and very excessive. It is so frustrating for players and fans alike that it is allowed to continue with impunity throughout the full 90 minutes.

On the plus side he did wave away San Maximin’s penalty appeal which could have been given. 4/10

[velo]

Kavanagh is probably as nieve as they come, or just corrupt, he has no idea of the 'gamesmanship' in todays football, which pi55es me off, so 1/10 and I'm being generous

[60sUnited]

3/10....very weak and no confident decisions !

Change the record, Velo. It seems that every week you accuse the referee of being “corrupt”

Do you really think that the whole roster of referees in this country are having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain ?……Whilst as fans we may disagree with some of their decisions (as the fans of any team do), especially when you lose, I do not believe that the referees in the country are ‘corrupt’.

A poor referee doesn’t equal a corrupt referee

Yesterday, I’d give CK a 4/10

[velo]

Yes mate, It's been like it for decades

[Ratscoot]

Kavanagh overall was okay the biggest issue was him having no bottle with regards time wasting, he did well not falling for ASM’s play acting and complaining, but he can’t be blamed for the fact we couldn’t score, we could have played on until Wednesday and we wouldn’t have scored.
5/10
