Mr Bell was simply the worst referee I have ever seen!
Five Yellow cards for Stanley, two of which were Sangare’s. For what we’re really only mistimed tackles. None for Plymouth who got away with loads of professional calculated fouls!
There definitely seems to be a vendetta against Stanley.
Every set piece ball we (predictably) bombed into their penalty box could have yielded a penalty for Stanley as Pressley and others had their shirts almost ripped off their backs!
Defo penalty on nine minutes for hand ball and the most clear and obvious example of what Plymouth got away with all night very late on when Matt Lowe was shirt dragged down to the ground!!!!!!
I thought our players gave their all tonight and that the supporters too were magnificent.
I came home with no voice left, mainly damaged due to ranting at the referee…..
I repeat again…..WORST REFEREE IN MY 71 YEARS OF WATCHING AND PLAYING FOOTBALL!

The standard of refereeing is now a real problem because their lack of application of the rules is simply ruining the game. Something has to be done!
