I didn't realise how much of a golden opportunity that was for Wimbledon at the end there.

Did anyone get a good view on the potential penalty near the end of the first half. Looked pretty clear from the south stand but I appreciate that is the other side of the ground

That was a huge miss on their part, think it was their CB Lewis, who Billy decided to have a go at. Must say that Lewis’ most valuable contribution (apart from that miss) was his excellent attempt at bringing back the 1980’’s short shorts fashion! Super effort!

I thought the same. He’ll need some cream to calm down the chafing. Shorts were peak 80’s.

So Lewis whacks Sharp in the neck after the ball went out for a corner. Sharp should have gone down. Stupidly reacted. Lewis then tells the ref what to do, and as then walks away laughing after the red is shown. What a c.unt.

How on Earth did that ref get a licence? Does he always allow players to make decisions for him? What a tosser.

That’s some chance they had in the last minute.

For both red cards right didn’t he?

The ref never saw the incident with Billy, it was only when Lewis ran over to him crying like a baby that the ref gave the Red card. Deserved I might had but if you look at the clash Billy hardly touched him. Lewis did Billy up like a kipper and the ref fell for it

You just can’t headbutt someone. It’s a red card every time. Referee got it right. A player of his experience shouldn’t be getting drawn into shit like that.

Billy is a passionate lad and player. He loves Donny from the history.

He wont be hapoy playing second fiddle and will have been itching to get on from the start never mind from 10 men. Then to see McGrath and Sbarra go on ahead of him.....

To be up there as one of the best EFL strikers/players EVER it needs to mean something to you and you need to wind yourself up for the game.  When you run yourself that close to the line every now and then it's going to go wrong.

We all know it was wrong, so does he. It is what it is.

Personally I hope it isn't the last time I see him in a Rovers shirt.
