Ipswich v Middlesbrough- Jarred Gillett

I don’t think it has been the best performance from Mr Gillett.
He has given a lot of soft fouls. The big KMI is the penalty for
Ipswich, I really don’t think that is a penalty.
Just my opinion.

Rubbish. Sorry, I don’t normally go that strong.
He has given soft fouls but only to defenders ALL game. Then
suddenly an attacker goes down easily in the box and for the
first time all day it’s a match deciding penalty that I’m not
even sure he saw. Weak!
Since the pen his decision making has got even more random. Two
mins later there’s an equally soft one (to Ipswich) not given.
Throw in not given to boro, foul not given to Brittain both by
following the ball.
I rate him, but miles off it today.
There was a time where I’d much rather have SG1 on a big
championship game, that time has gone. The current crop of SG1
can’t ref without VAR.

Like the East Anglian Derby last week, it’s probably not the
game for an ITFC supporter to be reviewing. But I’ll do my best
to be fair.
First half, I felt Jarred Gillett done fine in the first half
but he did find it a lot easier to give Ipswich what I’d call
50/50 decisions. And decisions that he gave to Ipswich he wasn’t
giving to Boro so his foul detection was a little inconsistent.
I actually felt he improved a bit in the second half. He was
fairer to both sides in what he penalised the yellow cards were
all spot on until we reached that penalty incident.
I will reiterate - my opinion on this probably is not credible.
Does the defender have a hold of the striker? Yes
Does he pull the striker? Yes
Is it prolonged holding? Debatable
I don’t have an issue with the award of a penalty kick but I
don’t think it is consistently recognised as an offence across
the board. It certainly wasn’t DOGSO because the attacker was
not getting to the ball. For me, the best decision would have
been to leave it alone but I can see why it was given.
Jarred lost a little bit of control after that. Not helped by
some of the players mind. A couple of reckless challenges, some
delaying the restart as well. But also not helped with some
inconsistent decision making. Brittain should’ve gone for 2YC,
his second would’ve been SPA but Jarred played advantage so that
negated that. (Even though I think in law, if a player on a YC
commits a challenge that warrants a 2YC, then advantage
shouldn’t be played and the player should be sent off).
Not a great performance and I would expect a bit better from a
SG1 official.

He had a poor game all round in my view.
Erratic foul detection.
The assistant gave the decision for the penalty in my view.
I do wish SG officials would stay out of the Championship, look
lost without their comfort blanket

Good summary TA. I’m on the other side of the fence but I think
you describe it well.
I can live with the pen. It’s risky and the attacker is never
getting there anyway so it’s daft and lazy defending. With var
it’s probably refs call either way…yes he holds and impedes but
is it sustained or impactful, no.
What I can’t support is that he chose that incident to finally
penalise contact on an attacker having been totally inconsistent
with his detection on Boro attackers (and some Ipswich tbh, one
by Fry jumps out) in the previous 85 mins.
Having watched lots of L1 this season it’s really frustrating to
see the difference between contact on attackers let go and
contact on defenders penalised and it winds normal fans up like
mad. It’s not justifiable or defensible.

An interesting point you raise and I can see the benefits of
leaving SG2 in charge.
Last season, games between the top 3 (Leeds, Burnley and
Sheffield Utd) were all given to SG2 but that hasn’t been the
case this season. Tierney had Ipswich v Coventry. Bramall had
Coventry v Middlesbrough. Ipswich v Millwall had Salisbury and
the reverse of that had Robinson.
It will be intriguing to see who gets appointed to Southampton
vs Ipswich next Tuesday because that could potentially be a
‘winner takes all’ kind of match. Because the winner of that
game will probably have automatic promotion in their own hands.
Will they go SG1 again? Or will they trust a SG2. Maybe David
Webb or Lewis Smith? Kitchen, Hallam, J Smith have had either
side recently. We have Bobby Madley on Wednesday. Potentially
Tom Kirk is in the limelight for it.

You haven't mentioned Backhouse [emoji12] or is he being saved
for the last game of the season!
2 "soft" penalties in 8 days !!!
