Quote Wire Yed="Wire Yed"Now this isn't a gripe at why we lost, that in essence had nothing really to do with the ref.
Something got seriously on my nerves tonight and we were equally as guilty and it frustrated me both ways.
3 men peeling off, sometimes 4, slower than disabled snail.
It wasn't policed in the slightest and he let both teams get away with it all night.
Late third and fourth men in and late shots on players (Myler/O'Brien/Laithwaite).
It's amateur.
Plus to the letter of the law Wood should have been shown a red (although that is a rule I'm not fond of and think it should always be a sin bin).
He missed several things, Hill knock on, the blatant penalty for us after Sarginson pulled Ratchford away from the tackle, thankfully the TJ saved him there.
A few knock ons, forward passes.
Dreadful tonight, even in the stuff we benefitted from, as a neutral you'd be seriously questioning that.
Ganson can you sort this out please, it was amateur tonight.
People are saying he had a good game tonight, he had a good game in so much as he didn't effect the score but personally I thought he was dreadful.'"
Would agree with a lot of your fair comments, but as you say he did miss the Sarginson pull off, but having said that it was hardly on a par with the Wood incident in respect that at least wire did get his error put right on the Sarginson one.
