My take on the first 2 sendings off were that they could have been avoided.
The referee, in my opinion, could have sorted out the trouble that was brewing before it blew up. Having said that, both Calcutt and Perkins had to go once it had erupted.
The Prendergast incident was ridiculous and soured the evening even further. No Stanley fan can defend his actions and blaming the referee isn't an option. If I was Eric I'd make him pay the next FA fine that must surely now be pending.
