The most tedious game I’ve seen for a long time. Every time we got the ball they tackled with their arms first, so many pull backs on and off the ball. As a result we couldn’t build any sort of an attack. It’s the first time I’ve seen the ref call the guy over for a chat point to lots of parts of the pitch and then not book the guy either then or for any of the next three fouls he commits. He was a disgrace and the only surprise was it took so long for one of ours to bite. (Although Kossy did have a couple of little niggly kicks at him)
5 1/2 hours in the car to watch us win some free kicks. Very frustrated at that referee performance. A few bookings early doors (including osbourne to be fair) would have stamped out some on the cynical fouls and allowed a game of football to breakout.
