I know we wouldn't have done anything with it, but we had a free kick right at the end of the game and with the clock just rolling onto the 6th minute of stoppage time, he blew his whistle immediately rather than giving us a chance to take the kick - despite him halting play on a couple of occassions during the added on time and pointing to his watch indicating he was stopping it.....where did that time go then?5 years later and this might as well get a bump.
Thought he was awful, sure the Lewis Cook sending off will be the big talking point which he got right. But there was so much more he didn’t. Like the bottled bookable offence for the Wolves defender.
Stood there at full time uncomfortably waiting for people to come and shake his hand… barely anyone came from either side. Think the three closest afcb players shook his hand along with Andoni, but that was it. Eventually he gave up and walked off.
How on earth did he conclude that it was a foul to Wolves when their player judo threw Tav on to the floor?
That was a second yellow and the Wolves player should have been red carded even if Tav had been offside to start with.How on earth did he conclude that it was a foul to Wolves when their player judo threw Tav on to the floor?
So he gave offside against Tav, I thought he gave a foul.That was a second yellow and the Wolves player should have been red carded even if Tav had been offside to start with.

Because he realised he would have to give a second yellow so changed his mindHow on earth did he conclude that it was a foul to Wolves when their player judo threw Tav on to the floor?
I just don't buy that. He gave a red card to us (rightly so the consensus seems to be.) Why would any ref shy away from giving an obvious yellow just because one had previously been given to that player? If a yellow card is warranted then it is warranted and if that results in it being the second yellow shown then that's on the player not the ref. No I think he was simply biased against us.Because he realised he would have to give a second yellow so changed his mind
