       Not overly impressed to be honest. Inconsistent foul detection,
       thought Stoke's 17 (awarded) fouls could have attracted more
       than just the one yellow card.
       Obviously didn't get the memo re added time as only 2 and 4
       added which to my mind was light even by last year's yardstick.
       Instead he got one that said free-kicks for offside on the
       touchlines could be taken by the goalkeeper in his own penalty
       area. Failed to play a couple of advantages and tolerated highly
       visible arm waving dissent. Yellow card for Ipswich keeper harsh
       as he had appeared not to have blown for an obvious handball
       with the ball running out for a goalkick. Handball was
       eventually awarded and  the keeper was trying to establish
       exactly where to take the kick from.
       Far from terrible, but I was expecting better.
