Never hear John Doolan complaining about the ref, which is a great relief, but he had some cause on Saturday.
OK, leaving a wide player unmarked and Crellin letting it go through him was poor but, as that wide player received the ball, the Gill’s no. 5 clearly shoved Coyle to the ground to stop him trying to block the shot. Coyle may or may not have done so, but it just about summed up the poor officiating throughout the game.

Referee Breakspeare is currently IMHO the worst referee of the current generation of referees! He is on a par with the worst referee of the previous generation….one Mr Kettle! Breakspeare allowed continuous shirt pulling throughout the match from both sides on Saturday. He was very easily completely conned by the ‘falling to ground’ tactic by the Gillingham players. When two opposing players were rightly battling for a fifty/fifty ball whichever player went to the ground first automatically got the free kick. Breakspeare was just awful and ruined the match for me!
