v Cardiff (a) - 15/1/22 - 12.30pm kick off

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Nasty challenge on Scott there.

[Guest]

And another decision, that’s a straight red card.

[booth]

Wharton down, what a set of dirty Bastards this lot are. Should have been a red card, stamp on back of his leg.

[ItsRoverZ]

Clear penalty and another very late challenge from a Cardiff lad for a yellow..  are they a dirty side or is this ref really trigger happy happy cards?

[Exiled_Rover]

That's two shocking tackles (Collins and Ng) that have only seen a yellow. 

Meanwhile our lads are getting booked for dissent. Refs in this league...

Looking on the replays that was a clear cut penalty. I think perhaps the fact it was Gallagher makes the ref not give it….beginning to suspect he has got a reputation….or it could be the beer speaking!

BBD is the one who has the reputation. Gally isn't a diver. Not gonna lie, I didn't see the replay, but it just looked like their man standing his ground to me. Didn't look a pen, despite how sharply it stopped Gally's run.

Nyambe second yellow

Apparently anyone in our shirt has a reputation for diving, we get nothing from refs. 

[moerpho]

Nyambe sent off!!!

[ItsRoverZ]

Red for nyambe..this ref is a pillock

[Proudtobeblue&white]

This Ref is bloody awful!

[booth]

Nyambe red card, what a fucking travesty this referee is.

[moerpho]

Refs in this league are atrocious!

[Exiled_Rover]

Boom, this ref has decided the game with his awful officiating. 

[bluebruce]

Unreal. That petty yellow for 'dissent' earlier and we go down to 10. Like I said before, Nyambe not the type to say much.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Deary me.

[Gone to seed]

Ayala on for BBD

[booth]

Referee is being the 12th man for them. Tackle on Brereton, they get a free kick:

The second yellow he received was borderline too - wasn't much in the tackle. Just awful refereeing. 

[ItsRoverZ]

Shocking officiating  ..shows why no English based refs at the biggest tourneys of football around the world 

[TheRoversReturn]

Need to see this out with ten men. Ayala on.

Ridiculous sending off...but this is where promotion teams show their mettle. A real test of our credentials, here.

Last thing I want to see, Kaminski down. I will say it again - our recruitment priority in the rest of this window should be a reliable deputy keeper.

Ayala on you mean

[BigBar]

My God none have covered themselves in glory but when Brereton shows up and Diaz doesn't it's a reminder to all of the bad old days.
