I think the ref must be blind today didn't seem to do his job properly
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

We were very lucky he didn't give Middlesbrough a penalty.

Was ok. Only complaint I had was not playing advantage in the first minute.

It wasn't the best but not the worst. Only major decision I thoughthemight have got wrong was not giving Boro a penalty but hard to tell from my angle.
Also thought he could have played on early on when Baldock was nearly clear but to be fair it was a head injury.

And allowing for that, he did ok. However the old shit looks like age is catching up on him I didn't recognize him.

That is how I saw it , I also saw the replay on the press screen and it still looked like a dive. The ref should have given a penalty or booked their forward though.
I can't decide if the ref let them bully us or whether we are just a bunch of lightweights.
He also equaled our forwards shots on goal.

What about when Lua Lua was on the break and he was pulled and pushed by their defender who was already on a booking? D'Urso is a shyte referee.

It could have gone either way. I think the saving grace was that the ball was going away from him.

If the foul was bad enough in the first minute that he stopped the possible goal attempting advantage then it was a yellow card offence. Had he done that then their players might have thought twice about kicking Tex out of the game which they succeeded to then do.

Totally this. D'Urso was culpable for condoning their harsh targeting of Tex by doing nothing on the 1st 2 occasions he got absolutely clattered. When he did finally show a yellow on the 3rd time, the damage was literally done.
He then produced a yellow on the 1st occasion we committed a dubious challenge in the 2nd half. So much for consistency.

I thought that was a cop out on his part. He didn't blow for a foul until Baldock was taken out by the last defender, when he would have had a clear run at goal. Then gave the foul on Tex because he would have had to send the defender off otherwise.
IMO, had middlesboro cleared the ball, nothing would have been given.
