I think those whose knee-jerk reaction was to rush to blame the ref as soon as the whistle went now have egg on their face.
Perhaps they were influenced by the new Hollywood blockbuster just out - 'La La Land'

No dippy egg running down my chin this morning - I don't think anyone was wholly blaming the ref, just bemoaning yet another inept performance from the man in the middle backed up by the report in another thread from a neutral observer.
We're obviously struggling & yesterday's game was never going to be easy, imo throwing the new keeper in straight away was a mistake - just hope shipping three on his debut doesn't sent his confidence too much as his loan conditions will probably mean he's first choice for most games.
I'm not blaming the lad either, Billy's not getting the service he needs as he did last season & it's not the fault of those who are filling Josh & Piero's boots, they're doing their best as far as I can see.
But we're a fickle lot, as are most football fans - last week we were wonderful & awaiting the draw for the 4th round with bated breath, this week we're awful & deserved all we got - the truth is probably somewhere in the middle & we go again, Carlisle next week before the big one at the Riverside - maybe our lads had one eye on that game yesterday, who knows but whatever happens we need to be 110% behind the team & just be grateful that we're not in Morecambe's shoes
