I think the ref gave what he suspected and not what he saw. Swings and roundabouts, he gave the pen and disallowed what looked a good goal. He doesn't have the benefit of aerial cameras or slow-mo. I thought he did ok.

The ref was an absolute disgrace, and the linesmen werent much better. Never a pen - it was a great tackle to be fair, but disalliwing Hugill's goal was a joke. Looks lije we'll have the same shit standard of officials as last year 🙁 Great performance from the boys tho - left the ground absolutely buzzing 🙂

I think the Wednesday managers comments are spot on. Fair play to him, offering no excuses.
Jordan Hugill or 40 grand a week Jordan Rhodes?
Sean Maguire or Forestieri?
Tom Barkhuizen or Adam Reach?
Callum Robinson or Ross Wallace?
Ben Pearson or any of their midfield?
The passion of Paul Huntington or any of their defence?
give me our young hungry team who just want to play football over their overpaid prima donnas any day of the week. And judging by the reception the travelling fans gave the Wednesday players who went over to applaud them at the end, I think they would agree.
Great post. Completely agree.
One thing is for sure, our players will need to be more smart and aware of these 'big' clubs throwing themselves about and trying to constantly 'play' the officials instead of just playing football. The amount of times they got free kicks etc. yesterday for nothing challenges was stupid. He was also the kind of ref that didn't allow play to flow and used zero common sense when bringing back challenges when the team were in an advantage position.
