Was shocking. How many pulls on our players did he miss or ignore?
Lack of yellow cards was an issue too. They were able to break up play knowing full well they weren't getting booked.
There have been some pretty terrible ref displays this season, but today really wasn't one of them. A couple of decisions went against us, but nothing that really affected the game.
Only issue with him was allowing the time wasting but he’s not alone in that this season.
Looked like they should’ve had a pen in the second half though couldn’t see it very well from up in the gods.
I thought he was OK bar a few decisions.
It was the pulling and gave a lot of soft free kicks

Nah I disagree. Will preface this saying we were shit and so not blaming the ref, but he needed to get his cards out for their persistent fouling and timewasting. Not knocking posh for doing it but it's the ref's job to deal with it and he didn't.
And I know we got 11 mins added on, but if you let them kill our momentum for 90 mins and continue to piss away time in those 11 mins, what's the point?
Apparently the FK for their 1st was soft, but on the flip side, I haven't seen it back but have heard that their pen should've been one, and that would've seen us dead and buried even further at 3-0.
Overall, not a great performance. It's not a great look when one of the few songs we can actually get going is "you're not fit to referee"

Heal and grow my friend.
He was terrible. But also denied them a stonewall penalty.

Why do i need to heal and grow? Not saying its why we lost but was talking to some Peterborough lads and when asked what they thought, they thought the same.

Cos every ref, in every game, will always give/miss calls you don't agree with. I totally agree the ref today was sub-par, especially second half, but we were so far of the pace I don't see how it makes any difference.
I just think we were quite shit, and the ref being naff is therefore unimportant.
I thought he was incompetent to be honest. I'll also agree he wasn't the reason we lost. We lost because they finished 2 half chances in world class style and we didn't create enough. We looked like a team that had been celebrating for a few days.
Ref was fairly poor but most seem to be. Didn’t cost us the game but certainly didn’t help us either.
Thought he gave two or three soft ones against us first half, and didn’t get any sort of grip on the time wasting / cheating in the second.
Rules don’t help them. Keepers just takes ages for everything , not sure the incoming corner rule is the best way to address this. The stop it for a head injury was taken to the extreme today 4 maybe 5 times. A blind man could see the play acting. Head stoppage you should have to leave the pitch for two minutes if it’s genuine it gives you a chance to recover, if not tough.
No because the corner will end up with a foul to the home team after the defenders / attackers grapple and the ref makes the easy decision to penalise the attackers
Ref certainly not to blame for defeat but had a shocker in my opinion. Peterborough's defending at corners needed to be clamped down on - players facing away from the ball with both hands wrapped around the attacker - Not once did he even have a word with them. On another day Laird could have had two pens...and they probably should have had one too.
