Just seen Tommys foul thought it was harsh as Flynn knocked the ball away from goal and he wouldn't have scored from there without taking a touch allowing the defence to get back.

Tend to agree with that having seen it this morning. I suspect the fact he'd sent Higdon off already made him dismiss Tommy. Had it still been 11 v 11 then I think he would have only booked Tommy. I also think had it been in the box he'd have only booked him.

Yesterday's game perfectly shows how pointless discussion about referee's is.

Bobs Board: "Higdon definite red, if you think differently you're an idiot. Tommy should only have got a booking, ref just looking to even it up. Ref had a good game, first time all season."

S24SU: "Higdon was only a booking, Jones reaction was a disgrace and conned the ref into a red. If you think differently you're an idiot. Goalie should have gone and Georg should have got sent off too. Ref was a disgrace, why do we always get them."

I think everyone agrees refereeing is a difficult job. The best ref performances are when you don't notice them...however, compared to the garbage we've had at the Proact this season, I think he and the linesmen did a good job yesterday. United fans are going to complain coz they lost...we've had garbage refs but still won!
