The most pedantic referee in the EFL.
He gave many of the decisions Sunderland's way and stopping play to allow a Sunderland player to put his boot back on was annoying.
Three handballs in the Sunderland penalty area, a second yellow card, a back pass and the Moore foul in the area all went the way of Sunderland. The ref did influence the result, which was a shame.
He didn't, however, ruin too decent sides going toe-toe.
Sunderland conceding fifteen fouls to Plymouth's seven, and Sunderland winning the YC count 3-1 tells a different story.
Whilst I consider myself not to be neccesarily Sunderland's biggest fan, but certainly in the top one we are certainly not a big club either., so sorry but we won the game fair and square and certainly did not need the help of Carl Boyeson.
