Coventry v Newcastle

[ladbroke8745]

Just want to put it out there, I am not Brooks biggest fan, far from it. He has made some minor mistakes (goal kick instead of corner for example) but he has played the best advantage I've seen in a while AND went back to caution Joelinton for the foul that led to advantage.

That was a fantastic advantage, would have been so easy to blow for a free kick there.

I personally think he is one of the best, mainly because of how different he is. He has zero interest in being friendly or chatty with the players, rather adopts a very stern "stay away" approach, almost a throw back to refereeing of 20 / 30 years ago. I know from speaking to referees that know him well that isn't his personality, it is just the approach he uses in games and I think it works really well. He always looks completely in control.
