Re: Tonight's Officials
i gotta agree that the ref was appalling. Had he clamped down on the blatant play acting and niggly fouls early on we might have had a decent game to watch. He was obviously aware that players were trying it on, why else add 7 minutes of injury time in the 1st half? its unheard of. But being aware of it and then allowing it to continue set the tone for the match.
But i've got to add that, as proud of the lads as I am for the way they've gone about their business this season, I am equally as appalled at the way that we play act, and crowd the referee. I dont think we are a particularly dirty team, but i can see why other teams and their fans get annoyed at the way we break the game up.
Let's just hope that in 5 weeks time the same players and the same management team turn up for the first weeks training.
