Once again fucks up a match, this time his incompetence couldn't be any worse. Newcastle did very well with the refs this year, especially that bonesmoker joel griffiths, hope he ends up in the turkish 2nd div next year.

Vukovic should have got a medal for twatting him, not a red card

Shield has no idea whatsoever. Never mind somehow missing the penalty but he is so inconsistent it beggars belief. A couple of early yellow cards to show them who's boss and set the standard - hah, my arse. The number of vicious tackles that escaped a booking was a joke.

Still his standard only matched the standard of a piss poor grand final. Worst exhibition of crossing in general play and crossing from dead ball situations I've ever seen.

The only kudos go to the Newcastle defence who did a good job on Aloisi and Petrovski, though their job was made easier by the crap service.
