There was and potentially a 2nd yellow for an Everton defender but the ref did get the penalty and free kick right in all fairness.
Basically they just seem to be very inconsistent and its a bit of pot luck if things for or against you!
Beat chelsea 4-0 Roger East terrible Wednesday night.
Lose to Cardiff 2-0 Jonathon Moss - inconsistent, pedantic and generally poor all around.
Craig Pawson
Mike Dean
Roger East
Jonathon Moss
Lee Mason
The list goes on of shocking quality refs we have ensured this season. Come win or lose it’s a very poor standard.

It genuinely seemed like Mason was affected by the situation and sided very obviously with the home. Probably not so much to change the result, but it was frustrating nonetheless. A couple of fouls given against King in particular were just laughable.
To over rule the Stanislas throw in and then give the throw to Cardiff subsequently booking Stan for questioning his decision was a joke.
My favourite was the one where King attempted to play a one two but the defender put up 2 hands and grabbed him to stop him running past. He tried to shrug the defender off and got penalised by Moss.

Inconsistent
I think, like Boruc posted, we were too nice during the game, which is what cost us more than the officials....but at the same time, the ref was pretty bad. The amount of times Josh, as an example, was impeded both on and off the ball and nothing given, was laughable. And the one time he was fouled and the decision given against him!
As per Gomes at Everton, we had Bamba on a yellow and being allowed to continue fouling afterwards. We all know Eddie was not happy about the performance of the officials but he couldn't say so due to also knowing the teams performance was just as bad!
