For me a good start by Mr. Gillett in some tough circumstances. The penalty call I think is correct with the current interpretation (maybe not by the updated one that comes in in July) and I feel he dealt very well with the aftermath.

Presents a very calm and controlled image and isn't giving any soft free kicks or cards. Letting it flow as much as he can.

There was a slight skirmish at the first free kick where both players kicked out slightly, letter of the law one could maybe argue for a red card, he chose not to penalise and I think given the context and the fact no violence or brutality was used he was right to turn a blind eye.

Could be a testing game for the next 65 minutes!

The red card spot on as well... Top performance from Gillett so far bar one incident where a Bournemouth defender should have been booked for kicking out after giving a free kick.

If he does as well for the rest of the game, then surely the calls to promote to SG1 will be irresistable

Really a frantic game. Three more penalty appeals - two Brentford, one Bournemouth all correctly waved away. A lot pf pressure from the Bournemouth players in particular who I feel are really testing Mr. Gillett's patience.

Quite correct to add on 6 minutes considering some of the time wasting antics and the couple of incidents.

I have seen maybe a dozen championship games this season and this for me has been the best performance so far. I think he has been superb. Calm, control and correct decisions/

Making an exciting game - hopefully he can keep it up 2nd half because this is going to be a very intense and aggressive second half

All he has to do now, is give Begovic a second yellow in the second half for time wasting !

Three penalty appeals in one and Gillett spots a free out. this is some game.. every decision from here to the end is crucial. Hopefully he can keep this up.
