Nice to see a "no fuss" ref at last nights game.He seemed to be letting the game flow at every oppotunity and could have booked at least 2 players during the match.GNW seemed to have Santos jumping all over him at times,but the ref was equally as lenient with Taggart who seemed to be climbing over Kuqi in the first half.It,s a mans game (take note "mr Styles") and it was just nice to walk away from a game ,not knowing the refs name ;D

Steve, It was Paul Walton... and he was good.  I was concerned at first that he seemed to be letting a lot go, but he was at least consistent throughout the entire game and the players knew exactly what to expect. There were no bookings and no serious incidents of any sort. Well done to the referee. Smudge |

He seemed to see a lot of shoves our players made but less that Ipswich made though. He didn't bottle giving the penalty though so I can't really argue with him.

Yep he was good. Should have booked Counago for that ridiculous dive though if you want to be very picky.

Would agree with you Steve. It really is nice to see someone actually allowing the game to flow and not acting like a prima donna. Didn't get everything right but the guy is human and he didn't make as many mistakes as many of the players did.
If only all refs were like him. He makes Styles and others look exactly what they are - extroverted, egotistical and third class.
OS.

Was I seeing things? Could have sworn he booked two Ipswich players. One for the penalty and another late on for clattering GNW, Gifton tried to STOP the ref giving the yellow card, but to no avail. Or was this just my dream  Agree, he wasn't a bad ref, but Smudge, get a grip on the stats! ;D |

Ade was flagged offside after his goal when he would have been clean through again when he was clearly onside when the ball was played.
The ref JS side second half came in for a bit of stick when Counago and another Ipswich player found themselves alone in the box late on. Thankfully they made a pig's ear of it. The linesman however, got it spot on as Gerry and Thomas ran out after the ball was played leaving them alone and clearly onside. Similar to our goal. They appeared offside as the ball came to them but a good decision.
