Plymouth Nil v Blackpool N.Hair
DIR By: guest4

---------------------------------------------------------
Another home defeat in a standard abysmal start to a season. But
I have to say what a bright young referee Mr Hair is , calmness
personified with a great attitude towards the players, clamped
down when needed let the game flow when he could , cautioned
when needed and also sent off two Blackpool players for handbags
in the final minute quite correctly I may add . Very little
evidence of dissent because he didn’t induce any . Very
accomplished performance and definitely the highlight of my day
.

Was very good. I espeically liked that when Cullen claimed he
was elbowed, he definately wasn't, he ran up to him and told him
to get up. The moment he realised he wasn't getting a FK, he
started to hold his face and he still played on. Calm and
assured. Thought he may of missed a handball, but having seen
the replay he had little chance of moving his hand. He has
definately got a future in the game, had a similar impression on
me as Rob Jones officiated his first Argyle game.

Despite his youthful appearance I don't think he is that young.
Has been around on the non-league scene for years, and I would
guess he is mid to late 30s. Very calm and composed referee
though and not afraid to make the big decisions. As well as
sending off a player 45 seconds into the National League play
off final, he was also responsible for this sending off after 10
seconds.

Your guess is spot on. He was 37 in June so he is either 37 or
38 now !

I've seen Neil Hair a couple of times in the National
Conference. Steady, unshowy, self confident without tiresome
displays of ego, prepared to make tough decisions. I don't think
he will go to the top but will be a very valuable addition to
the slow burners in Divisions 1 and 2 with perhaps a chance at
SG2 in a few years.

Always been highly competent when I've seen him in non-league
and development games. Quite frankly anyone can get to SG2 these
days, if the face fits.
