Fair enough, if you feel that bothered about it write to the Fa. I'm sure they will investigate your complaint with rigour.

Nah, I think rigger is with you on this.

He may have made some mistakes yesterday but hey let's not cloud a poor Rovers performance.. BTW he missed a blatant penalty for Wimbledon in the first half

Exactly. The fact that he was taking the penalty himself in the first place just proves how much he was trying to help Wimbledon win.

Thankfully Raya saved it.

And the retake.

Is that a real question ?

There is a lot to be said for gallows humour.

The refeere standards are pathetic..

Trevor Kettle couldnt keep up with play, indecesive, no understanding of rules. Miss plenty of easy decisions. 

The FA will do nowt anyway

It sounds like he was off the boil alright 

[oldjamfan1]

Kettle should be potted.

[J*B]

Who had the; "Buy second division players, get second division football" signature on here? 

Get relegated to the third tier, get third tier standard referees. 

Realistically it shouldn't matter who the referee is, our budget is higher than anyone else in this league and you could make an argument for any of our players (other than potentially right back and left back) getting into any other team in this league. We should be playing most teams off the park.

Hopefully someone pulls the plug on him refereeing our games

Definitely a pour referee.

Like anything in life, nothing will ever change if the people who are making decisions think everything is running smoothly. Fortunately not everyone will take the easy option and do nothing.

There's a reason why they're refereeing in division 3 ... it's the same reason we're in division 3, they're not as good as the refs in Division 2 & 1 :-)

And we slide further still into the inexplicable!

The referee against Portsmouth last week was good !

This is the third division lower standards all round though don't blame anyone for demanding more.

[Rover_Shaun]

If all else fails blame referees.

Pathetic

I agree.  Yesterday's referee was pathetic - good description of his performance.

He did whistle though!

[Tugay's Right Foot]

the ref spoilt the game

[AggyBlue]

Their manager, coaching staff and players were continually harassing the referee. 

Before the second half started, their manager called the referee over to the touchline and spent a good  20/30 seconds moaning to him.

Every time a Wigan player fell to the floor they seemed to get a free kick.

I disagree- this Kettle bloke is making too many abysmal decisions to not merit people complaining. Had Bennett been on that pitch, I think we might have just won that.

Is this the second time we’ve spoke about him on here though? Multiply that by goodness knows how many, based on other clubs’ misfortunes, and surely he’s a ref that brings the game into disrepute.  

Ill be honest, I don’t mind some of the referees in this league, simply due to the fact they don’t penalise proper challenges- something you get higher up.
