After reading a few posts regarding Mr Drysdale I have to admit
to having been a little worried about his appointment to this
match , how wrong I was , this was without doubt the best
refereeing performance I have seen in league one this season, I
couldn’t believe how fit he was , consistently up with play in a
high tempo match , he remained calm and totally in control
refereeing without fear or favour , his foul detection accuracy
was extremely impressive, he appeared to have a great rapport
with the players and the thing that impressed me was he was
smiling throughout, obviously enjoyed himself and after so many
years that was great to see, I don’t care what I’ve read before,
based on today’s performance I’d be happy to see him every week
. Absolutely excellent and a credit to the efl.

After seeing this game was 3-2 at halftime, I decided to watch
the second half to see if the entertainment would continue.
Indeed it did and the match was a joy to watch. Drysdale
certainly had a lot of running around to do as it was very
end-to-end but he seemed to be very good in every aspect in what
was a great match. I thought he got the penalty incident correct
as the Cardiff defender very clearly pushed the Argyle forward
in the back but it was a very good performance indeed.
