       Preston v Leicester - Sam Allison

       Nothing much to say apart from the fact that this guy has been a
       standout in a season of confused officiating. It was not the
       toughest game, but once again he blended into the background,
       foul detection great, use of advantage exceptional.
       I hope he gets a championship play off semi final because his
       performances deserve it. It’ll be interesting to see how many
       Premier league games he gets next year. I’d have him there from
       the start.

       Has been the standout referee in the championship this season,
       always calm with his decision making, with a smile on his face.
       Seems to have an excellent rapport with the players. Will be
       fully deserved if he gets his place in SG1 next season.

       You make that seem like an indisputable fact as opposed to
       merely your opinion.
       He has done two games at Portman Road. One was quite frankly
       rather poor, the other was better. I would rate him as average
       at best but would not be at all surprised to see him promoted.

       I would agree - the twice I have seen him he has been adequate -
       neither game tested him - not his fault - but it appears the
       games he has been given have been carefully picked to protect
       him ? Always seems to be a reactionary official rather than
       someone who is proactive, a trait with most modern, heavily
       coached referees
       Have no doubt though that he will be promoted at the end of the
       season

       Best refereeing performance at Dean Court this season was Sam &
       we've had a few decent performances.

       I thought that he had an excellent game at Deepdale last night.
       Well done Sam.

       Not sure I agree about the games picked to protect him thing.
       He’s refereed all of the promotion hopefuls a number of times as
       well as important games for teams at the bottom of the table
       recently. When he was appointed to last night’s game, there was
       a strong chance that it would’ve been a highly crucial game in
       the promotion race, like some of the others he’s done recently.
       He’s refereed us three times this season and the games have been
       unremarkable partly due to his style of refereeing which
       benefits teams who want to play.

       In that none of us, I presume, has access to the official
       verdict on referees' performances then every comment on this
       forum as to who has done well or not so well must be subjective
       and an expression of opinion. I just assume that all comments
       actually begin "in my opinion " but it is surely unnecessary to
       write it every time.

       Similarly, you make your opinion sound like an indisputable fact
       as well. Let’s just assume that everyone is quoting opinions,
       and not call that out every time.

       Fair point. But I would say my "indisputable fact" was based on
       a couple of matches I was at. I'm not sure how many of the 540
       Championship matches the original poster saw to arrive at his
       "indisputable fact".  ;)
