Just seen that our play off final referee against Sunderland, Andy Madley has been promoted to the Premier league this evening. Must admit thought he had a very good game. As well as that the linesman on the side of our winning goal and the 4th official have been promoted to the Premier league. Makes sense why they was given the biggest game of the play offs 😉

After you've been demoted back to the EFL.
Now we're in the Championship I'm curious to see if / when we'll get the first Australian referee down the Valley as Jarred Gillett has come over from the A-League
No reason why he shouldn't do a good job in the premier league.
It was clear, that Sunderland were time wasting, even though the game was only 10 minutes in. Yes, Pratley deserved at least a yellow card, but time wasting is an offence as well. He had 2 choices. He had to punish both, or punish neither. By punishing neither, he was trying to make sure the game finished with 11 a side.
Nothing wrong with that IMO...
I agree with the fact that he didn't start getting harsh on Sunderland players to the latter end of the game. But having watched the whole game again since I now think he was generally good.
