Gillett’s performance and there is a spectrum of complete
vitriol “Go back to Australia - you’re rubbish” to Steve Bruce
and a few other people praising Gillett for handling a tough
game well. So I would say, it’s typical of the football culture
where you get two diametrically opposing views of particular
incidents. It’s all about handling pressure and from my
experience as a cricket umpire over 33 years, you will get
tested in your initial match at the highest level to see what
you’re made of. The Twitterati (never to be trusted for rational
comment at the best of times) are not giving the new guy a
chance. It’s one game, and would club’s supporters berate a
player for being indifferent on their debut? No. Being an
umpire, I can be objective about the performance of officials in
a lot of sports without resorting to cheap jibes.
> By the way, Gillett got a mark of 6 from one newspaper, not
terrible, not outstanding either. Even the Sun newspaper praised
him, and they’re hardly referee friendly are they?

Objection, your honour.

I caught a bit of the game out here, as naturally, it was quite
big news for Optus Sport to have one of their own in the PL.
I thought he did very well from what I saw, and handled a very
physical game well. He seemed very calm and assured, and it was
nice to see his relaxed running style once more.

Thanks Mikael, I’m really looking forward to hearing what I’m
sure will be your usual excellent comments.
I really enjoyed your recent review on the Jon Moss game, I had
some comments I meant to post and will do so later today if I’ve
time.
