Carey was very lucky and Sarcevic could have had a second yellow. Bradley should have been booked too to be fair. On reflection thank goodness he was so awful!!

Yes ... because all the officials 'missed' the original nudge/foul. That is why 'petulant' fouls happen and why, so often, the 'retaliator' gets punished.
So .. down to poor ref again!
How unfit was he? Thought they had standards and regular tests? :shock:
Saw him "warming up" before the match & thought who is that unfit looking bloke trying to do his warm up was gob smacked when I realised it was the ref. Very poor ,as someone said he looked like a bloke gone a season too far.

I sat in the Family Zone with my grandchildren on Saturday - row H seat 540 - which happens to be exactly in line with the Lyndhurst touchline. I think there were three occasions when the crowd on that side thought the linesman had got it wrong by not flagging a throw in. I can confirm that they were wrong and he was right. The ball had not completely crossed the line in all three cases so it was, rightly, still in play. You can't really be sure about these cases from the side of the pitch any more than you can be sure about off-sides when viewing from the ends of the pitch. But that doesn't stop us all from doing it, does it? But we only do it, I've noticed, when the decision favours our opponents.

He made some very peculiar decisions in my opinion - for both sides I hasten to add, so I don't think it particularly affected the outcome. I also don't think the decisions that went against Crewe warranted the histrionics of their manager. If he carries on like that, he won't see the other side of 40!

The problem is with the lack of referees coming through, refs like the one on Saturday tend to stay on to long. He did seem to far behind play to make most decisions. It is possible he had a bad day at work with some of the decisions, but at least he was consistent for both teams. I being a fellow ref appreciate the job a referee does, as without him or her there is no game. My final assessment is his performance was a 5.

Their Manager knows a bit about football, ergo (Argo?) he wanted Carey sent off for 'retaliation'.
Only thing the ref got right in my opinion. Fair comment about throwins but no way was that lino 100% correct all day!!
