Justice
Dangerous Idiot
Almost every tackle on a Derby player resulted in a free kick absolutely ridiculous, I also feel the ref bottled giving the pen to us as it was very early in the game.
Not blaming it for the result but the ref def gave Derby the more favourable decisions. We got very little - he seemed to side with Derby for sure.
Out of interest has anyone seen the Calde incident on tv? Looked a clear pen to me..
Why?
then booked calde a few minutes later......as a tv viewer i would say his decisions favoured derby .Almost every tackle on a Derby player resulted in a free kick absolutely ridiculous, I also feel the ref bottled giving the pen to us as it was very early in the game.
They should have appointed a Premier League referee like they did for the play-off matches last season.
He wasn't good that's for sure
Wasn't the ref who cost us the game no and he managed the game ok but, on checking the match again after getting home, both out biggest shouts were 100% pens so his mistakes massively influenced things. As did Upsons stupid challenge.
Why?
I thought the ref was fine. Although he did delay some 50/50 decisions, such as a potential foul on Upson that he allowed to go-until he realised that County then had a two on one.
As for penalties involving Leo Ulloa, his antics aren't helping his cause at the moment. I was only saying to the fellah next to me that it was a matter of time before he lost us a cast iron penalty.
We didn't lose the game because of the ref, we lost the game because we were unlucky. The ref was very poor though, made some very dubious decisions.
So, you not only saw the game live, you then went home and watched a recording to be convinced that certain decisions may have been wrong (in your opinion) this only underlines the fact the the same video technology as used in Rugby should be used in football, until that happens we will always have these disputes over what was right or wrong.
Personally I think if a team does enough in a game it will never have to rely on half baked decisions from a human being, good positive play usually results in goals, we did not do 90 minutes of good positive play, nothing like it, sadly, tonight, Derby outplayed and out witted us, they broke and were dangerous we broke and were not.
I bleed blue & white stripes, but you have to be realistic.

my wish is .................
Roger East IS a premiership referee.
Or as you have never seen before him when you watch Super Sunday he doesn't count
We have another PREMIERSHIP referee on Sunday - Craig Pawson.
There is 18 select group referee's on the list!
How many could you name?
Properly 2 or 3 at a push
He has refereed 5 Premier League games so isn't as experienced as Oliver and Clattenburg, who we had last year.
