[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 338372, member: 20605"] Where did I "poo poo" his performance? I thought the rest of his game was excellent, but this aspect is a problem. When the same referee keeps getting pushed out of the way by different players in different matches and different competitions, you have to conclude that the problem is with that referee and not the players. There is a lively discussion topic on the referees forum about this, and its running about 50/50 as to whether Smith should he cited, but there is 100% agreement that Nigel's positioning was poor. He runs right in front of Smith. The fact that players have other options is irrelevant. The referee should not be affecting play at all, and should not be standing where he cuts any of the attacking side's options down. At least, that is what we teach them anyway! [/QUOTE]
