Jesus Christ......

FFS..that's us doomed.

He’s been absolutely terrible for us in the games he’s reffed this season.

In fairness, don’t think he had to bad a game in the Sheffield derby the other week.

They don't like us, do they?..........He's frookin' awful.

I can see his stupid looking face now.

Four times previously and I'd say three absolute shockers

The referees are a bigger threat to us than Sheffield U and DL

Kitchen and Ward in back to back home games how unlucky are we?

How is it time and time again we seem to be the only team near the top of the league that consistently gets garbage like this!

Wow. It’s a conspiracy

Christ on a bike, it’ll be like playing 12 men. He’s awful.

Expletive hell.

How have we got this clown again?

Seems obvious they are fast tracking Kitchen for the Premier League, he has had several big games at this level and local derbies.

What a sad state the profession must be in.

We just have to not let him give free kicks to Bristol on the edge of the box,

For Christ's sake

Need to be on his case from minute one - pile the pressure on him. He's a shocker of a ref

Good god. This man should not be allowed anywhere near us. An utter cockwomble.

Can't stop him. The referees who give most free kicks get the fastest promotion, and how can defenders ensure that the forward doesn't touch them and dive for the free kick?

With Twine around, not giving away free kicks within his range is crucial.

I was really p!ssed off with the WBA one, softest free kick you'll see.

You can count on the figures of one hand,with half fingers amputated the numbers of decent refs we've had.Usually it's some clown who last season reffed in a pub league till his skills got him fast tracked.

Bobby Madley our best referee by a country mile this season , shame we haven’t had him more often.

But the shocking thing is , is how far virtually all the other refs are behind him . He shows how it can be done. You know before the game he will be good in the same way you know so many of the others will be absolutely useless.
