Weekend of football...

All I have seen is loads of negative stuff, irrelevant if they
were justified or otherwise but surely I'm hoping to read good
ones' too. Anyone able to share any good performance they have
seen please?

Long time lurker, first time poster.
I watched Farai Hallam at Stadium of Light last week and again
on TV at Elland Road yesterday.
I like his attempts to let the game flow, not afraid to say no
to the cheap fouls players try to buy with minimal contact.
Also, gets around the pitch very well.

Young Kettle was pretty good at the FA Trophy quarter-final at
Spotland.
Seen him twice this season and I think he's got a promising
future.

I’ll give a positive from France out of a very very challenging
situation.
Benoît Millot IMHO correctly rejects VAR advice after OFR and
correctly dismisses a manager - who really should have waited a
little longer before abusing the referee as the call went his
way! In any case, disgraceful behaviour and the referee remained
very composed throughout!

Peter Bankes had a very good game on fri night, apart from the
only blemish so far prior to the weekend cup ties which bmb will
be all over.

Wow, he totally lost it! Disgraceful from him and he deserves a
long ban. Like it's not stressful enough to be doing an OFR
anyway and then to have that toddler on top of that. Well done
to Benoît Millot, stayed calm but held his ground. I agree -
never a penalty!

Hate to be the one to bring the negativity he also missed the
most obvious hand ball despite having a clear view and the ball
travelling some distance.
He has a thread praising him but Atwell had a good weekend

Is that all he missed? I'm sure you will find that is a
probability that every Referee would miss something, depending
on how you see this as big or small impact on the match.
Some people love the whole negative headline everyday, some of
just want abit of good news. I noticed the negative comments
already on appointments page. For example, may I remind
everyone that Gavin Ward has been a SG2 since 2018, so surely he
must be doing something right to still be up there. Yeah, he is
not flamboyant and does not look like someone you would have
your beer with, but he has his own way. One thing most Referee
would tell you is that the view of players, coaches, clubs and
their fans are 99% different from observation that deals with
interpretation of law.
At most, few people on here would pick one incident or maximum
of two, and concluded that the Referee had a poor match.
The world is depressing enough, so some of us just like few good
news now and then.
