Did the commute to watch the Petone V Napier game at Memorial today, as it was Old timers, green bottle day and a great occasion it was...until the guy in the middle started blowing the whistle, ,what planet did he come from? It would have been the worst display I have ever seen from any ref in any code, and I think he must have agreed as he blew the final whistle 5 minutes early, the players deserve better, even a couple of Napier players mentioned to me that the ref was, shall we say struggling. the players deserve better, because the officials contribution today was a joke.

I thought this thread was going to be about Park Life.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Glad I went and watched Stop Out v Wests.
Why did the ref only play a 40 minute second half??

I think 45 were played in the second half but with all of the stoppages, justified or otherwise, I would have thought there would have been at least 5 minutes added on.
Still it all works out over a season. Jim Murphy refereeing the Lower Hutt v Petone game allowed 7 minutes of extra time where 2 would have probably been enough.
Never seems to happen when you're on the losing side though does it.

The same ref did Wellington Utd v Napier [ 3-0 to Napier ] and they had no complaints, but they won that match !!!!!.
