Talking to a mate that went to the game, who said the referee was awful (mainly cos of

the decisions for the two yellows that got him sent off)

So I said I'd like to see the replay for the first but the second, he clearly stopped the freekick being taken, it wasn't a case of someone kicking the ball at the player

Then they showed the replays of the yellow, and the ref was obstructed by two players and didn't see the tackle right, but saw what looked to be a player being flattened from behind

So I said, do you want technology to stop that happening, of which he disagreed. For me you can't have both ways though, if you accept human error then you shouldn't slag a ref off

Personally, I thought the ref was right on both decision in real time. It's too easy to criticise when you aren't the ref. The second one was just stupidity, Troare deserved that yellow everytime
