For the record, whilst not condoning's Coley's out burst at the officials, When Coley was asked to go to the stands he was directed up some steps that led towards the home part of the directors box. There were no empty seats and their people made no attempt to move out of his way to allow him to gain access to the Accy part. John then sat on the steps, ( the bit shown on TV). Then the stewards intervened and took him back down the steps, up some more steps into the stand.Two Accy directors moved to allow John to sit next to EW.
John was reacting to the issue that for 6 bookings we wiil receive an automatic FA fine. Yet can any body remember a bad tackle by our lads??
Kenny time wasting in the 40th minute at 2 goals up, what about their keeper at 80 mins?? They were 2 goals up but nothing. Prior to that,their keeper was last man and took out Shaun Whalley. Mandatory red card, very harsh but under present directives the ref has no choice!!
Their guy made a tackle from behind late on, a mandatory yellow card, yet nothing!!
I don't like critising officials; this is the guy who sent off Tony Roberts and gave us two pens in the 5-0 win at Dagenham. Yet he was also in charge at Stevenage when he again carded 6 Accy players, yet Rory Pendergasst was assaulted in front of a linseman and was admited to A&E on oxygen, but the assailant received nothing from Mr McDermaid!!!
That's part of the reason Coley gets wound up, he's passonate and wants consistantcy
Trust this sheds some light on yesterday's proceedings!!
