Ref had a shocker - soft bookings for us throughout and at least 2 penalties for them that he didn't give.

Cooky and Stephenson sent off at half time for scrapping outside of the dressing rooms.

Roberts lost my respect - gets tapped in the chest whilst on the floor and rolls around holding his face.

Murphy was sent off for two yellow cards - not a straight sending off so I think I'm right in saying it will only be a 1 match ban.

I think the ref was harsh with the sending off - it was a strong tackle but Murphy won the ball cleanly - as I said he was only shown a yellow for the tackle - the stupid booking he got for not retreating 10 yards from a free kick is what *really* cost him.

On the other hand Cooky losing his head at half time worked wonders for us - they could have won the game if they went about it right but came out with a "woe is me" attitude and we defended well against them.
