Worst refereeing I have seen in a long time. Shocking.
Think anyone blaming our players or the manager is crazy. Or, of course, not really a fan. They fought like crazy. And very nearly did it. Tav was clattered our of his position in a shocking challenge to free up the guy for the shot. Goldson was trying to get as much of his body in the way as possible. Players clearly all there for each other. Much more team cohesion than i’ve seen in a long time.
Wish Umar had been on to chase some of those long balls but he might also be more of a liability tracking back.
We were cheated out of that. Disciplinary panel need to be reviewing May’s challenge. And hopefully Gerrard will be his usual forthright self on what he saw. Arfield booked for a sheep grabbing his lapels and putting the head on him (while Arfield’s hand were up palms out and he made no retaliation at all). Goldson booked because a sheep tripped himself. Our players clattered time and again.
Fucking appalling.
