It seems that if we don't deserve a result we should simply gift the opposition a goal because that would be somehow fairer....................
......................and f*** the 600+ fans who travelled to Bristol and all the other supporters who would have been there if they could.

Definitely a point gained, and the players and management seemed to agree with that. The sending off seemed harsh, it was right in fornt of us and looked like Virgo got to the ball and it wasn't a yellow card, the ref never even gave a foul !! The impact on this was not only the 10 v 11 but their right winger gave Wright a torrid time in the 2nd half.
Elphick and Tunnicliffe were superb today and El-Abd had a great defensive game. Battled hard to earn that point and the lads can be proud of their effort.

Doesn't matter if he did. A foul isn't about whether he got the ball, it's how he challenged for it, and if the referee thought it was reckless (“Reckless” means that the player has acted with complete disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, his opponent) it's a yellow card.

Well it wasn't reckless either, the first yellow was.

I thought it was reckless. Both challanges were pretty much identical - he dived in and was late both times. Ref had no choice.
Heroic effort by the 10 players though.
The ref thought it was reckless, too. And that is the defining aspect.

good point well made, what the hell do some of these jockeys want, we went down to 10 men and held on for 45 minutes, that counts as a point gained so so f***ing what that Bristol hit the post it didn`t go in did it

Strange, I thought we took the lead soon after he went.
Depends on your definition of soon.
Virgo was sent off on 44mins. We scored in the 56th minute. Add in half time and injury time, that's almost 30mins between the red card and the goal.
Even if you just go by game time, that's 15mins. Which is one sixth of the game.
On the other hand, in real time (i.e. out of the context of a game) 15mins isn't very long.

and because he went, we were stretched defensively, which lead to the goal
with 11 on the pitch, scoring from a set piece we would have won that game 1-0. we were not troubled at all by rovers when they had 11 and we had 11, it was only when the one man advantage kicked in that we started to look under pressure
