In his place we had an inconsistent and random performance and a tendency to go for his cards in the manner of a Kettle or suchlike. Please pay the ransom, I prefered the original one. Or maybe he's making a late bid for the SG.

It is, after all, early in the season.

Similarly, law breaking by players must be dealt with according to the rules irrespective of when in the season it occurs.

It does take a while at this time of the season for players and officials alike to get into their stride, I'm sure Mr Singh will be back to his usual calm collected self in a couple of games.

I always think that it is a different referee who officiates at other grounds than the card happy, centre of attention, non-consistant person who i have the misfortune to watch. There are a few referees whose name on the sheet creates a groan from all sides of the ground, but he is one. I'm sorry if this is against the grain, but i have never been happy with a single performance from Mr.Singh as you seem to holding your breath waiting for him to do soemthing, and that is not a sign of a good official!

Mr Singh's uncharacteristic rush of blood to the head has been "vindicated" by that motley crew. Oh well that's another �500 into the FA's coffers to support grassroots football or more likely to pay off a succession of pathetic international managers and the even more pathetic executives who appointed them

I think he's been spending too much time on 4O duties watching his so-called betters.
