Stevenage players might have gone down a bit easily, but they don't have to go down for it to be foul, so the ref was absolutely right to give them free kicks, whether they went down or not. I assume you're also talking about the McConville red card? Yes the Stevenage players went to the linesman about it, but that's no different to appealing for a decision normally.
The ref didn't have a shocker: the simple fact is you got outplayed, and you're blaming your defeat on the ref. He ran off pronto at FT as he feared a pitch invasion, and was worried for his and his assistants' safety, as he had sent two home players off.

As you are an expert, could you explain why Charles' foul on McConville was not a red card offence? Charles clearly went for the man and not the ball.
