Not straight from the rule book, but might be good refereeing. Ipswich have been getting at us with little bodychecks, sly digs tugging back. All sly stuff. The ref lets that go and it continues. It would have been a soft sending off, there was not much of a punch in it, more a little dig. The yellow gives a warning "get the game back to football and stop being wankers", without changing it with a sending off.

Possibly, but when we've had players sent off for "raising their hands" and barely even making conduct, it was all "there's no choice for the ref".

Been out and about all day and seen the score. Assuming the fact that the match thread is only 32 pages long at this stage indicates that it's not exactly been a classic?

Unfortunately even with 10 to 14 days to prepare and change things, we appear to be making all the same mistakes with line up, tactics, et, but there's a bit more energy to our players than the previous 'going through the motions' performances.
