Woolmer was, by far, the worst referee I've seen at BP in a very long time - and I've been going to BP a very long time! The last time I left BP so angry about a referee was 10 years ago following Mark Clattenburg's dreadful performance culminating in the red card for Les Pogliacomi.
I know a lot of pushing and holding goes on in the penalty box these days, and as such a lot of decisions are not given. When Smith was pushed in the back in the box I didn't expect this ref to give a penalty. However, to give a free kick against Smith just beggars belief!
When Simpson was fouled in the box I thought for a second that the ref had brought play back for the foul on Obita, but of course he gave nothing!
I'm still not convinced that Mvoto or Simpson deserved yellow cards - I didn't spot any contact with the latter. When Mvoto was booked the ref called him over and then walked backwards 10 yards so Mvoto had to walk even further to receive his yellow card. Even that annoyed me, and that was after less than 20 minutes!
I could on, but won't.
Will the assessor's report criticise the referee? I doubt it!
Rant over.
