Today if Charles did it - play on, if Gornell did it - foul. The ref today could have knocked all the time wasting on the head with a yellow card in the first 15 mins, he didn't. You can't blame Stevenage, bet they couldn't believe their luck, Jacobson's challenge in this game was not a red in a million years, given the leniency of the ref on challenges of the same ilk by Stevenage players. If the ref had called up every push, trip, elbow then yes, it was a red, but if he was to be consistent Stevenage would have been down to 8 by half time.

Absolute bull**** on that one. Charles was penalised numerous times for jostling with your centre backs as was Reid and Gornell. Wait till you see Jacobson's tackle again and you should change your mind it was a definite red. Late, didn't get near the ball and his foot was high, it hit Reid studs up in his leg. Stevenage were very niggly but at no point were stupid or reckless like some Accrington players in the second half.

If you're a ref, then answer the question about.... Shrek...sorry..Charles..Should blatanly have walked for the first half lunge...never mind all the elbows and sly kicks???
It would have been a different game then.
If McCoville did raise an arm/ hand / whatever, then fair enough, from my view in the main stand, I missed that one, I accept he deserved the red. I did not miss all the first half antics of the aforesaid Shrek..sorry...Charles and and all the rest of the Stevenage antics..Nor did I miss all their second half antics...
The problem with referees at any level is consistency. They are human and at times can make mistakes. That guy tonight made an absolute plethora of them.....then decided to run for the cover of the changing room sharpish, leaving all the remaining players on the pitch. It took Westley to tell their lads the game was over !!!!
He never had control of the game after he lost it early on, obviously effected by the fact he was on / in the national spotlight (sky) and wanted to play to the cameras.
As I said earlier...not fit to referee at football league level.
And as for pitch invasion??? Did Sky not show the way true fans dignify themselves ??? Applauding a galant effort !!! How many fans went after the ref ???
Answers..(which coincidentally equal TUFC27's I.Q ) go to the guest referee !!!!

You think Charles should of gone for the lunge? Stupid, it wasn't even a lunge. He stretched for the ball and caught the Accy player on his toes/top of his foot and got booked. Your player rolled around for a bit then got up and walked off perfectly fine after about 5 or 6 Accy players had surrounded the ref.
Funny how you don't mention Gornells elbow on Laird, caught him right in the face then shouted at the ref when a freekick was given and told Laird to get up.
The only clear chance Accrington had was the close range 'header' which was in fact a Maradonna esque handball. Stevenage created quite a few even before the sending offs (Long, Charlesx2).
Both reds were 100% right, even the pro Accrington commentary booth agreed. Stevenage were called non-league numerous times (especially by Lowe for some reason) and Coleman tried to say McCoville raised his hands because he got stamped on which was a total lie!
You deserved to lose because of the state of the pitch alone, truly embarrasing. Neither team were saints but for diving and crowding the referee Accrington won, shame they couldn't convert that into goals ey. The right team went through. Shame Stevenage didn't bring on Dino in the end, I think we used every first team outfield player available we were that short on players.
It's funny how you shout down a
neutral fan for being bias, what does that make you then?
