Sorry for a typo in this para which might change the meaning.
We (Magda and myself) have been refused KBN funding last time (i.e. 2nd time in the row) by the same *incompetent* referee) so we feel very discouraged and disappointed, particularly given we got excellent ranks from the two other referees which appear competent *not* because they wrote positive reports (there made some critical remarks!) but just because they wrote their reports in a style competent referees should (IMVHO) use.
The correct form of the two bottom lines follows:
reports (THEY made some critical remarks!) but just because they wrote their reports in a style competent referees should (IMVHO) use.
