Bradford v Bolton Thomas Kirk

I think he has been excellent! Can easily see why he is getting
Premier League appointments.
The calm manner he referees with takes some doing.

Excellent performance.
The way he managed the little scuffle towards the end was first
class. Well done to Herczeg as well for pointing out some of the
coaches who stepped out of line.

He has just handled the shenanigans at the end excellently
Probably the only person Andy Hinchcliffe hasn't criticised
tonight

World class from Kirk tonight.
The unsavoury brawl at the end was carded well, and Touray is an
absolute disgrace going down like that after a minor touch on
him by Gale.
Had Gale not deliberately kick the ball away in the first place
then Baldwin wouldn’t have whacked him down trying to take a
free kick.
My only observation is that Gale should have been carded also
for delaying the restart and starting the push and shove.
Disgraceful childish behaviour from both teams.

Commiserations to our Bradford City supporter Ollie. It looked
as though your team had ran out of steam these past couple of
weeks.
A brilliant refereeing display. Not more can be said. Unsavoury
scenes on the 90th min, with a lot of play acting going on. No
need for it.

Cheers Ryan. No complaints from me Bolton were the better team
over the two legs, the difference was 5 years experience at the
top of League 1 and good use of the loan market!
Tom Kirk excellent, AR1 seemed to give Bolton everything but got
the offside goal right.
The scuffle at the end was caused by Gale who should already
have been booked during the goal celebrations, but hard to argue
against the Baldwin yellow. He was clearly frustrated by his
error for the goal and saw the chance to take it out on somebody
without being sent off

Lots of good stuff from Tom. The little things done with
confidence goes a long way. 50/50 corners/goal kicks etc. He was
2 yards away, just as players were going to appeal they realised
he was just there behind them!
