The lads played their hearts out today, couldn't have asked more of them.

Rotherham were a team of thugs, how they finished the game with more than 8 men is beyond me, their number 15, 22 and 9 should all have been sent off. Number 15 did enough to get sent off, brought back on and get sent off again!

The referee had NO control over the Rotherham team, they bullied him and did as they pleased - the ref tells them to put the ball further back for a free kick, they ignore him, he lets them play on.

I didn't have a good view of the penalty incident however the ball should never have even reached that end of the pitch, on clearing their lines a Rotherham man went through on McConville elbow first, straight card card offence, the linesman 2ft away and nothing given.

There are so many incorrect decisions it would be a waste of time to mention them all, to cut a long story short, Stanley were by far the better team and in a fair game would have walked it. Playing with 10 men against 13 they gave it a damn good go and were unlucky not to get at least a point.

Rotherham fans mirror their players, thugs and hooligans, running onto the pitch after scoring and trying to goad those in the main stand... where the average age must be well over 55.

Rotherham are a disgrace to the sport, there should be a formal complaint about the referee, he was simply not fit for the job, neither was the linesman on the main stand side.
