Wellens needs to get a grip and start taking responsibility for his own players errors. Knoyle made the wrong decision to go to ground for the first. Dahlberg made a balls up with the catch and then made a balls up of the ensuing rescue mission to retrieve the ball. End of. Ref absolved from blame IMO yesterday.
Players can be criticised, supporters can be criticised, the board can be criticised, the manager can be criticised, and referees cannot who hold the most responsibility in a game from start to finish, something wrong there. We play Ipswich next, where I was a witness to one of the worst refereeing decisions I have ever seen that was not given in our favour, resulted in Ipswich scoring the goal that won the game and cost us the point that would have kept us in the Championship the next season, resulting in this club losing millions of pounds in income and was not the only bad decision in the closing games of that season that made everyone consider collusion of officials that season to affect our results. Whether they were pens or not he is a recognised poor referee by most in the game and who watch the games he referees, why hide the fact in interviews and conversations.

Ref absolved from blame IMO yesterday.So the Plymouth players boot being swung at Dahlberg midriff was irrelevant? It certainly stopped Dahlberg retrieving the ball. A free kick should have been given to us.The first penalty was also not clear-cut. Knoyle slid in, attempting to block the cross. The challenge wasn't to directly tackle the player. The Plymouth player, having put the cross in, then proceeded to move inside, in my opinion to deliberately get caught by the attempted block, and 'win' a penalty.
First penalty is debatable as the player already got his cross in, he wasn’t impeded in doing so by the challenge. 2nd even more dubious, foul on Dahlberg and the Plymouth player made the most of any contact. Kettle is pretty damn useless
This is a circular argument. It's true that the standard of refereeing is low but why is that ? One reason may be the abuse and frequently, physical violence dished out to young trainee refs at junior level by players, coaching staff and spectators alike causing them to realise they have something better to do on a Sunday morning and making them give up the whistle for good. This means there is only ever a tiny pool of talent to choose from. It's high time this problem was dealt with at grass roots level and it is not helped by professionals like RW who set such a bad example and should know better. Or maybe he has a right to dish it out owing to the belief that, unlike the refs he criticises he never ever made a mistake in his playing career.
Mike Jones must be drunk.
All these folk saying there were both definite penalties, yet the head of refereeing has apologised for both decisions.
Maybe RW has pointFrom Adam Oxleys Twitter feed#drfc boss Richie Wellens says Mike Jones (@EFL Head of Refereeing) has apologised for both Plymouth penalties at the weekend, which MJ thinks were both harsh and not penalties. RW feels that’s now 11 key decisions that have gone against Rovers in 8 league games.@footballheavenCOYR
I wonder how many who disagree with Wellens' reactions towards the penalties didn't want him here as manager in the first place and are always happy to criticise him simply because he wasn't their choice?
