His foul detection was erratic and at times non-existent. It takes something to get fans annoyed in unison at one of those games, but he managed it with aplomb.
Exactly the same today , I thought he was rubbish but at least rubbish fairly lol . Good cup tie good luck for the rest of the season .
Cheers and although Kitchen wasn’t responsible for either goal, Hardie was well offside in the build-up to the first and the ball was about 5 inches outside the corner quadrant for the second.
We didn’t defend either situation well enough, but sometimes you also need a bit of help from elsewhere when playing a team from a higher league.
A good number of Houghton’s corners were from outside the quadrant and Hardie was clearly offside in the first goal build up.
We were on the wrong side of a couple of pretty clear corner and throw in calls, but no issue with any of the yellows from my green-tinted seat.
I thought Kitchen tried to keep the game flowing but that was obviously at the expense of letting a few fouls go. I suspect he won’t have been particularly happy watching it back later on.
