I just like to express my disgust at the performance of Jeff Winter at the Oldham vs Reading game. He graces the Premiership week in and week out and if that is the standard of the highest level then there is definatley something wrong. It was like he was watching a different match to the rest of us as nearly every decision was wrong and I don't just mean slightly!..........just take this for example.....near the end of the first half the ball came to Mark Hotte who cleared the ball which got a deflection of a Reading player and went out for a throw deep inside the Reading half but as he cleared the ball he was poll axed.............which angered the crowd but what made it worse it should have been either a free kick or a throw in.........but nooooooooo Mr Winter thought I know...I won't book the player but just give him a talking too and also i won't give Oldham a free kick or a throw in...........but i'll give a drop ball...........but not just anydrop ball ......one to Reading to kick back to our keeper........cheers Mr Winter........so instead of Oldham having a good attacking chance they were forced back to square one.........Reading deserved to win as they are a quality team but it doesn't help when you have a referee who clearly does not know what he is doing!.....and don't worry there were plenty more dodgy decisions from the reff........and the only thing this is doing is spoiling the game for the players and fans..........and bad referees seem to be attracted to the Oldham games!...............now sort the refs out!
