Thought he was poor but who cares.
He could have waved the penalty away at the end and nobody would blink.

It’s Sunday’s ref I’m more worried about.

Nobody wants preferential treatment and Oliver played it to the card.

Well done son.

Ha ha, the ref always seems to do well when we've won.

what about the latest Walker card?

No complaints overall Chinners, but to be honest I thought they got away with a lot of fouling that our lot got booked for.
At the end of the day though he got the big decisions right.

Can’t ask for any more than a level laying field. We’ll do the rest ourselves.

Go flying in like he did and not get the ball against a diving snidey cunt like Herrera and he will make it a yellow every day of the week. What annoyed me was 5 mins later I think it was Matic brought walker down and didn’t get a yellow,,,,,,,although Tyler was crying for a red for walker for diving!

He didn’t fall for that cheating cunt Herrera so fair play. I hope he gets suspended. Rat boy reluctantly admitted there was no contact.

It was a Derby which you expect to be a little more physical, so the ref adapts as such. But looking at the stats, it was 16-10 for fouls committed and 4-2 on cards received. There were a few niggly ones and a few that I expected to see, but that was for both sides.

Best I've seen Oliver ref a game. No complaints from me today.

Solid performance

Best game he’s ever had

He showed real bottle today, credit where its due.

True. I’d call it an honest effort.
The only penalty out of the three shouts today was the one on Otter. He missed that but got the other two right.
And it did take a lot of bottle not to give their dive, under extreme pressure.

Top performance from Oliver in fairness in a high pressure game. He should have carded Jesus for diving but no qualms he didn’t

He did ok overall but he made one or two strange decisions regarding free kicks, and I didn't think walker should have been booked.

Did Fern or any of our other players on 4 yellows pick up a booking?

Who else was on 4 yellows? Only Walker and Silva were booked.

Sane and Kompany.

I think KdB and Komps were. Perhaps someone else too.
