More a case of bigger team expecting to win at little ole
Accrington de railed by referee having audacity to correctly
award penalty to little ole Accrington when the away teams
player played juggle the ball in the area . Saw this official
last season and maybe not the best she was definitely top 10 and
nothing like the official described by the o.p.

To the thing from lewis
I ran the line to Willard on the premier league and believe me
he was abysmal
Opinions as such where as Mark Halsey and Graham Poll were class
acts

We are in esteemed company having a ex premier league linesman ,
piqued my curiousity as to your identity haha I thought Willard
was ok but you would know better than me , agree with you about
Halsey and Poll , there was quite a good list of good referees
in those days such as Dunn , Peter Jones , Burge, Barry ,
Bennett , Durkin, Styles , Wilkie I could go on

> Wow what can I say simply the worst display of officiating I
have ever witnessed in the FL and I have seen Willard and Kettle
in their pomp. Erratic decision making to say the least can't
say she lost control of the game because she never had it,
inconsistent cautions, failure to identify players being
targeted by the opposition, average fitness at best. I have
seen better refs on the Northern counties east who never made it
who were 10 times better than this. I hope I never have the
misfortune to witness this official again!

I thought Gary Willard was a very steady and reliable
official..however I didn’t see him that often as he is Sussex
based IIRC.
However your comment on Kettle in his pomp would certainly
provide vivid memories for posters on here.

Willard has history with Barnsley from an infamous game against
Liverpool in the Premier League.

But she could have had a poor game yesterday and there might be
other decisions and general match control that made the OP start
this thread. Just dismissing the comments without evidence to
the contrary is poor form.
I've seen quite a lot online criticising Ms Welch's performance
yesterday, from both sets of fans; it can and does happen, as we
all know. That doesn't mean she isn't a good referee, does it?
I saw her last season and thought she was very good, in a game
that ended in exactly the same outcome as at Accrington v
Barnsley, so it's not necessarily result-dependent.

can't comment further but the view of Ms Welch obviously depends
which team you support.

Accrington are difficult to play against for any team wanting to
play football. They are over-physical, negative, time wasting
and thrive best when referees are simply not on top of the game,
as so many League One referees manage not to be. It is therefore
not surprising to me that they liked her performance. I didn't
think much of the penalty decision personally.

Know nothing of this game. To be fair to the ref, if a team is
sent out to be completely negative, disrupting the game and
constantly niggling, there is little the ref can do. You simply
can’t win - in those sort of games, you just have to grind it
out and get through it! Accrington have unfortunately often been
one of those teams - also not a very nice club to go to in the
past … dreadful dressing rooms and not the warmest welcome!
