.........a joke of a ref - we know that it was a stonewall pen, he was rubbish. Although I was about 20 yards from Poyet and he went mental at the fourth official, swearing like a maniac - probably why he got sent off. The ref was really niggly as well, some stuff he did get right like the blatant backpass (altho Kuipers shouldve been booked) and general shittiness.
He looked about 12 so it was a silly decision to put such an inexperienced ref in charge of a feisty game.
Anyway, the football: Fair result with two evenly matched teams. You bossed us 1st half, we were lucky not be 4 down with the offside goal and the penalty and Murray's bad miss. we came back second half and I think 1 all was fair.
Awful mistake by our keeper but he is only 19 and made up for it with a cracking save later on. Out goal was from the backpass fk, just a poorly hit volley by Scotty when it came back off the wall.
I'd have taken the draw all day, you were woeful in defence but superb going forward mostly and it was always gonna be tight.We were awful today and should have taken advantage except our centre backs who were magnificent.
Scotty always scores against you, I thought his celebration was a bit unecessary really. But he probably thinks that he's never gonna be forgiven for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I28zc1fvGHc and I guess he wanted to rub it in. Meh, deserved booking probably. Good goal though.
Kuipers really pissed me off with his timewasting btw (even before HT) and I saw him having a right old shout at an Orient fan afterwards.
But yeah, 1-1, good spicy, entertaining game spolied by a shite ref. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
