       Can't comment on the rest of the half but both goals should
       (probably) have been disallowed for offside :/.

       Agreed, feel like he has a similar style to Michael Oliver,
       which is no bad thing! Let the game flow which helped to make
       the game a great watch.

       Henry Winter was very praiseworthy on X

       Only saw the first half but was very impressed, game management
       was on point. He was so quick to get between any conflicts and
       defuse the situation, seems a really calming presence in the
       middle.

       Have only seen highlights and limited replays but would concur
       that 2 of the goals may have/should have been ruled out.
       Retreating player on Ipswich goal definitely affected the
       defenders ability to challenge and the prone scorer looked
       offside when ball was first played in for Norwich goal

       He managed well without utilising cards too early which was
       sensible. Shame about any offside controversy which can't be
       attributed to him.

       Actually the first goal can be attributed to him, a perfect
       classroom example of where the referee should be alert to help
       detect Law11 offences (the offside position itself was very
       clear). Tricky one to spot though.
       Overall agree with what others have written, seemed that Smith
       officiated the derby very sensibly/well.
