The Untold ref review: Bolton – Man City
By Ref Reviewer 04
I did the review of the game Bolton Wanderers against Manchester City. The leader of the pack was Mike Jones. Just one word if you want to carry on: incredible at times. Really was.
For the visibility of the site I left out the last column. I hope it reads a bit better and if you want to how the weight points are made up it is 1 for the regular fouls, 2 for yellow cards and 3 for goals, penalties and red cards.

If we ever get this ref at Bolton we will have another leg broken. He let them kick all day long. There should have been two players sent off from Bolton. Numerous yellow cards should have been given and the ref just waved it away, talked a bit against the player who just did what they were doing all day long: trying to kick the shit out of Manchester City.
And just look at the wrong calls he made…… Maybe Dogface could answer my question: is he just a home ref? Does he have anything against Manchester City? Or is he a Bolton fan?
A very poor performance from the ref on many dangerous tackles. His relative high score is because there were so many fouls that at the end of the day even a blind man with a whistle in his mouth and blowing at random would have made the same score. Maybe.
