Referee watch

At the time I thought it was a pen, but seeing it back, I think it would have been harsh. But saying that there are plenty of refs that would have blown to give it against before it hit his hand. Also, with the Lindsay possible second caustion, the ref looked like he was going to give the free kick against Lindsay and quickly changed it to the Hughes foul. When he realised he would have been sending Lindsay off. All in all two big calls that would have gone against us with other refs didn't in this game.

I was certainly waiting for a second Lindsay yellow and then a Ward-Prowse worldie as he’d given it. But thankfully he gave the free kick where Hughes had fouled.

Rather strangely he’d played the advantage (I saw him signal it) and must have pulled it back a split second before Lindsay fouled their bloke. Two big decisions went our way for once.

I thought it was the referee who signalled added time to the 4th official but I could well be wrong about that. Should have been about 6 minutes stoppage time ( certainly no less than 5) on Tuesday. Just staggers me that he can openly admit to being biased.
That shows a lack of professional pride to me.

Referee final decision on added time, relays to fourth official with the information required

I think we got away with a penalty right at the end of the game, Nolan’s handball looked like it was just that in real time but I think the replay confirms it.

Certainly seen them given but would have been harsh in my opinion.
Screamed for the push on Lang early on from my veiw but that one on the replay was a no no.

Every single one of our cautions was the correct decision but it was the failure to penalise them for yellow card offences that was the issue.

He did do us a favour by pulling play back for a free kick a split second before Lindsay committed what would have been a second cautionable foul.

What is? Every single caution was correct, there wasn’t one even remotely debatable. He then blew his whistle to stop play, Lindsay would have fouled their bloke no matter what the referee did or didn’t do.

Don’t waste anymore of your free posts, we might need them for more of your valuable one word insights.
 
The repetitive staying-down-on-the-ground in order to gain the free-kick / stop, and bring-back play could have done with curtailing.
At least one of theirs should have had a yellow for that.

I thought the Mills' caution looked harsh, but I know you would have had a better view of the incident than me. I'm in the Town End, towards the TFS.

Right in front, he seems to catch the (admittedly not very robust) number 7 on his ankle or achilles - straight after the referee had just played an advantage for another of his fouls.
