On the scale of red cards.
If 5 is a guaranteed yellow and 8 is a guaranteed red, McCunnies was a 7. So it was more a red than a yellow.
There's was a 6. So it was more of a yellow than a red.
I would have said ours was an 8. I simply don't see how the ref could NOT have sent McCunnie off. As for theirs, well there wasn't a denial of goalscoring opportunity so there wasn't a red card. After that, what? It wasn't a particularly bad foul; Porter was just too quick for him. I didn't see it as a yellow card offence, the penalty was punishment enough. It's not just a case of "it wasn't a red card so it must be a yellow".
I thought the referee had a poor game, but I also thought he called both penalty incidents perfectly.
What I'm trying to say...how many times do you see them given but no red? I'd say 70% to 80% of the times they would be a red. That's how my scale works, not on whether it's a red.
As for theirs, I still think it was a yellow though. It wasn't a red but I'll moan just for the sake of it!
If the ref had of had a better game then less people would be complaining about their player not getting a yellow.
Some of the incidents that concerned me more:
Was seeing a Porter get dragged to the floor on the edge of the box and not getting a free kick.
Monkhouse getting a very clumsy kick to the face and no warning or booking.
And the fact that he turned away every time we were fouled but was quick to pull us up.
And the amount of times he had words with Monkhouse...what for?
