If my memory serves me correctly, should Devitt not have been booked for ungentlemanly conduct. Also, I believe, if a ball strikes a player from the free kick who has not retreated the prescribed 10 yards, that too is an automatic yellow card or has this rule been amended? From a personal point of view, Crook got away with it a little bit as had he moved the ball with his hand it could not have been classed as being taken, but because he used his feet Devitt may have wrongly assumed it had. Either way Stanley had a bit of fortune (for once) with this referee but the ref was wrong in not booking Devitt!
