86.128.216.8 - 21-Aug-10 18:48 about  I was at St. Andrews today and I must say, in my opinion, Oliver has improved from the last time I saw him here (Birmingham V Plymouth and the Maik Taylor incident). However, I still feel Oliver is a poor referee, with the ability to improve. He needs another year or two in the lower leagues IMO before he should handle PREM matches. He got the penalty call right but he was inconsistent in decision-making (pushes, trips etc) and allowed clear playacting from Diouf. Too many needless cards. |
