stop moaning you daft sods, last year a dodgy ref a sending off and a pen and you destroyed us . this year a sending off we murder you and it is the refs fault. double standards or what.
We know it’s down to the referee, most are just saying he had a shocking performance.

Were you lot also moaning about the ref when we beat you last season? Yes. Bet it was fine for you lot to moan though.

Boro look a decent team and deserved it today tbh. The ref was poor but not enough to affect the result. Carrick had obviously done his homework and your lot were the better team. No complaints, could have been five or six.
 
I’m not quite as outraged at the ref as others. The second yellow for Neil if looked at in isolation was justified in line with tougher directives this year. I would say that it ws out of character with the rest of his performance where he was reluctant to give out yellows for deliberate shirt pulls etc. on balance I’m more annoyed at Neil than the ref for giving him a decision to make
 
44000 people there, live on TV and he spoilt a game cos someone said a naughty word to him. I mean c’mon it’s utterly ridiculous.

I’m not excusing Neil there.
 
The ref was shit. For balance too O’Nein was lucky not to give away a penalty!

As always, it’s not that the refs are biased, they’re just crap, and it’s a complete lottery each week if you’re going to benefit or be screwed over by them.

Well done on your win today.

That’s doesn’t take away or detract from an inept refereeing performance. I was actually enjoying the fist half. The game could have went either way.

The ref choosing to ignore multiple fouls / yellows and making some bizarre point completely ruined what I thought was a good game of football.
 
It feels like he was told Neil’s first yellow should have been a red, and that was a factor in giving him the second yellow.

The inconsistency of his decision making throughout the game and particularly first half is what’s most infuriating, but it’s a theme we’ve seen many many times.

All that said, Neil is an idiot, for the first challenge which was reckless and then giving the ref the opportunity to send him off, which was mindless and it’s cost us the game.

Exactly this.

And also - Mowbray completely messed the subs up. Rigg up front and Rusyn on the wing with 'auchoueeche' (or however its spelt) in the middle?

We looked like a team of what we are today - group of kids today with zero experience throughout the team and no plan b when down to 10
 
Ref was crap, particularly the inconsistencies with players being pulled back and allowing Crook to go unpunished, but Neil got a yellow for doing the very thing all clubs were told would result in yellow before the season started.
Poor game management and awareness from one of our slightly more senior players.
