No, not the obvious barn door one in the first half when their number 4 kicked & stamped on one of our players, totally ignored by the incompetent tw*t of a ref - I've just been reading the match report and never saw Anton Ferdinand get red carded on the final whistle, for dissent apparently! Too busy clapping & cheering the boys off to notice after their great 2nd half performance. Did anyone else see what happened?

WITH HINDSIGHT you can't have your cake and eat it if there had been poetic justice and Wordsworth had got a red bookmark then Rovers would never have won this match 4-1 obviously the game would have been a lot more cagey etc perhaps 1-0 at best who knows but never 4-1

Wordsworth should have been sent off. He already had a yellow then after we equalised he sarcastically stuck his thumb up & applauded at the ref. Surely that warrants another yellow. Some of these refs just haven't got any balls!!
What about when May was brought down after turning the defender but the ref never gave it? That lad had just been booked 2 minuted previous and was the last man when May turned him.

Like others have said, abysmal ref but he was abysmal for both teams.
Just a thought, maybe the ref consulted his assistant and 4th official,to see if any of our players reacted.He could have evened things up by sending one of our players off as well.

The assistant was worse placed to see the incident than he was and the fourth official would have had a similar view to him.
