Can probably count on one hand the amount of times I’ve moaned about refs on here.
Utter bemusement all game with the officials today; they are up there with the worse I have ever witnessed. In fact, the whole standard of referee’s in this league is painfully poor, it’s like the standard falls off a cliff at this level and they are poor in the national league.
The ref today lost the game in the first 10 minutes, letting everything go which only encouraged Buxton’s thuggish players. A good ref would have nipped it in the bud by having a word with both captains early.
The challenge in the first half on Wilson was reckless, looked bad where we were. Their substitute raised his arm and elbowed evans right in the jaw- ref saw it and gave a yellow. If you’ve seen it it’s a straight red! Players just getting ragged about and the officials didn’t bother blowing. Made a rod for their own backs.
The ending was the cherry on the cake. His head had firmly left his shoulders by this point and he didn’t know what to do. Never seen supporters left in the stadium 5 minutes after the game not knowing what has gone on. Managers or players weren’t told either. Utter chaos.
