I was at the infamous Darren Deadman match and thought after that game that I would never see a worse refereeing performance in my life. Well today’s ref was like “hold my beer”.
He got just about every call wrong and the abandonment at the end was just farcical. To me it looked like he bottled it and gave the win to Buxton (hence the player celebrations), but I suspect when he had time to reflect on his decision, he knew he had made a grave error and then called it as match abandoned. I suspect the referee assessor may want to have a few words with him.
