Shane Long

[Filo]

How many times did he get away with a push tonight, I don`t think that ref had much of a clue really!

The ref did have a clue when he flashed the red card right in Matt Mills face

It is a mans game

Correct me if I`m wrong, but isn`t a push a foul?

I didn`t think it was a penalty, it hit his body and bounced onto his hand, to send him off as well was harsh

I never saw what happened tbh but it was rather funny to see how fans reacted when Mills took the walk off the pitch

It was a penalty now doubt!!!!!

He moved his arm towards the ball to stop it and it hit is arm, penalty!

I'd love to have a player like Shane Long in our side. I was very impressed with him.

Best player on the park by a country mile ,scored the 1st ,made the 2nd and created many more chances.

It was a definite penalty and I don't know why Matt Mills was trying to convince everyone it wasn't! If you move your arm towards the ball, particularly in your own six yard box, and the referee see's it, you're inviting trouble on yourself.

I wasn't impressed with the referee at all. Thought he was rather hopeless at times and he wasn't supported particularly well from both of his assistants. However, he was rubbish for both sides - epitomized by his ludicrous decision to add on six minutes of stoppage time.

Spot on. Confirmed when he gave reading a free kick 2 mins into the added on time when the ball was caught between 2 of our players and 4 of there's. He didnt know what to do but thought giving Reading keeper a free kick was most logical.

Rigo, in the last half hour of the game, the ref was constantly reminding Reading players about time wasting, he even booked one for it.  So with the substitutions, stoppages for injury and time he added on for time wasting, I reckon six minutes was entirely to be expected, credit to him for having the balls to make it stick.
