Hang on there AccyStan1962! There were a lot of fouls in the match and generally the ref seemed to call those correctly. He booked too many players in my opinion. Mccartan, Beckles, Matty P and possibly the Don were not surprising - the other two were innocuous.

Their penalty was too far away to tell what happened but on the replay it's a mystery why he gave it. However, three mins later we were back in front with a penalty - so it really made little difference.

I don't think our players helped the ref. They went down easily, and wasted time too often.

What was Evans beef? Did he think Kee had pulled back their player for the third goal? He marched angrily onto the pitch to confront him at half time. Memory may play tricks, but did Jimmy Bell also come on and point an angry finger? Does that sort of stuff help the ref?

I know I seem to be siding with refs on this forum, but again I think that whilst he may not have been the greatest, he was just about adequate in the circumstances.
