       Perhaps he is trying to be the next Trevor Kettle?

       Mr Mather did the TRFC v Swindon game last Tuesday. Early YC for
       Tom Davies seemed to take the sting out of the game. A bad late
       challenge on Dacres-Cogley towards the end wasn't suppressed
       quickly resulting in the fouled player reacting and then
       scuffles involving both benches. The original foul was penalised
       by a YC couldn't be sure it deserved worse, while a RC shown to
       one of the Swindon coaching staff. Both sides facing a charge of
       failing to control players as a result of the afters. Fairly
       neutral view on this showing, plenty to learn but have seen far
       worse this season.

       I've not seen the action, but would presume that with 12 yellows
       and a red the thing that has gone wrong is player behaviour!!!

       From the brief highlights, he seemed to get all three penalty

       I recall his "mishandling" of last season's National League
       Play-off Final at Ashton Gate when Torquay were on the wrong end
       of some poor decisions allowing Hartlepool to progress back into
       the League.

       [/quote]agreed and I think it was even harder to take for
       Torquay to then see the referee promoted when he clearly wasn’t
       good enough.

       Hackett is beyond a parody of himself - he hasn't even watched
       the match and feels qualified to give his comment anyway! :D
       I note some of the previous comments here, but thirteen cautions
       and one ejection doesn't necessarily mean that a referee had a
       poor performance. Redouane Jiyed from Morocco issued exactly the
       same number in an AFCON tie a few weeks ago (though admittedly
       that went to ET), and it was a very (very) good performance IMO
       in a challenging match. If anything, Jiyed could have shown a
       couple more deserved yellows to be honest!
       In Italy they have, amongst others, the excellent Luca Marelli;
       in Poland, Zbigniew Przesmycki is a genuine 'refereeing genius',
       and other countries have good experts about refereeing too,
       giving their reasoned opinions in the media. Why, oh why, do we
       have to suffer the inane ramblings of Hackett, Halsey (though
       the latter is a bit better) here instead.

       Chris Gallagher the author of the article says: You can
       understand Hackett’s point here and both sets of fans are sure
       to have been frustrated at the official from Saturday.
       However, the players didn’t make it easy for Mather, and
       sometimes it’s easy to look at the official instead of blaming
       the players who did commit plenty of foul and tried to pressure
       him.

       Because the media love clickbait, and Hackett provides exactly
       that, he can usually be relied on to say something controversial
       on refereeing matters, the average ref bashing football fan
       usually laps this stuff up. What often gets forgotten is that
       Hacketts time in charge of PGMOL had many of the same issues
       that Riley has had, it wasn’t the golden era, he and his media
       mates make out it was. Its a shame, I think this country is
       really lacking an insightful refereeing pundit.
