Peter Bankes (somewhere very safe and sunny) v Tottenham Hotspur
How to score
A. Consideration of supporters - out of 25
B. Consideration of improving conditions (including use of weather forecasts) - out of 25
C. Use of vague 'health and safety' language to justify decisions - out of 25
D. Decision making - could the game actually have been played a little bit later? - out of 25

How's about calling the game off? That was an important decision

I’ll hold you to that and will expect to see a pre-match photo of your contribution. These behaviours do not go away, so think on sunshine and do what is right for your community!

I won't ever be publicly posting whatever I may (or may not do) for charity because I don't like to do that.
But I'll certainly meet up for a pint or such like one game and am willing to discuss things when not in a public forum.

I thought the way he moved between Referee’s room and pitch side with consummate skill, best referee at the Turf so far this season for me, only one dodgy decision all day.

15/25 For fitness and positioning. Got in the right place at the right time. Only makes his decision make all the poorer.

Did the ref actually get changed into his uniform to make the decision ?
If not, and he was in his bob hat and long coat then surely the decision is null and void !

You can’t trust a ref that can’t spell his own name correctly.

Cannot believe that VAR didn’t intervene in the postponement decision. Clear and obvious error.

Had they delayed the game, it could have been played later. Hindsight is a wonderful thing

It's not hindsight. It's called not rushing into bad decisions and using the tools at your disposal - like weather forecasts.

Sean there in his shirt & the rest of them wrapped up like it's winter, or something.

Yes for Conte, who has previous if you recall. Walters was translator. One of our best results and dont I love it when we give one of these money soaked entitled outfits a bloody nose.

I thought the ref blew too soon. Didn't play advantage at all.
