absolute bloody shambles  :evil:
fallon never should have been sent off
we should have had 3 penalties not 1
was afraid to book scunthorpe players
lost control of the game too often

problem is it seems to happen every week cant the football league sort out the piss poor officials in this division

i agree with all of that.

I thought he was alright....cut Falon some slack when he elbowed teh fella for the first time....he was hardly going to give him a second chance.

 After the first one it was obvious what was coming, Iffy should have subbed him.

because some bald twat gets a bit whistle happy he has cost us 3 points :x


a good point but could have been so much better

that fallon booking for the dive was stupid. wasn't a dive! tugged his shoulder. also we would go and do the same thing to them and get booked ourselves! scunny got away with quite abit themselves!

ive just seen they got 1 booking more than us (3) well...they should have had more!  :)

 Sorry Johno it was a clear dive...so the ref is right to issue a yellow.

Fallon deserved to be sent off....as Reg said he should have been subbed after the first clash.

Our penalty was never a penalty, we should have had the goal really.

Roberts and one of their players was tussling, it looked to me like their guy locked Roberts arm and dragged him away from the ball, the Lino started flagging I thought we were going to get another penalty....clearly not

It's funny reading the Swindon PoV after listening to the game thru the eyes of Scunny commentators!

in my honest opinion i think fallon did over react, but he did tug him. think it was harsh to give him a yellow too

The ref lost control of the game, what on earth posessed him to disallow a goal and give us a penalty? I don't understand that at all...

Ref was poop :x

A decent ref allows a few seconds to see what will happen before making a decision.  He wasn't a decent ref.

Something told me Fallon would be off as soon as he was booked the first time, which was a blatent dive.

I thought that having overturned the goal, he'd have to show red

He got completely carried away, the ref, but Fallon had to go

Would have been Shakes' first goal. We're still waiting now  :(

it's easy to blame the ref. he was shit but so were we for 75 minutes

Not really the point.

If the ball is in the net you don't give a penalty

If the linesman is signalling a penalty then you should atleast discuss whether to give it!

i didn't have a problem with the ref really. i'd have sent him off. Iffy quite righl called him a 'fucking idiot' when he trudged off

according to the newspaper reports this morning, the ref disallowed the goal & gave a penalty for handball - surely their man should he been sent off then!!! what a cock!

fallon didnt dive, he turned their defender who then stood in the way to block him getting past. made no attempt to play the ball. should've been a pen IMO. he had to go for the elbow though.

...will see it on footy league review in a minute.

Fallon did dive I had a perfect view of it.  

I just like the way that once he was sent off, we actually started  playing football and looked dangerous.

I didnt think it was a penalty but a booking was harsh .. and to be honest the defender made a meal of Fallons challenge on him

Beagrie was putting late challenges in all game and got away with lots of them .. until finally being booked

Billy Sharp was diving from the first minute but never got booked for it.

And to not give the goal and instead give a penalty and NOT to send off their defender was ludicrous .. has to be a goal scoring opportunity as we scored a goal!

Awful ref .. we did well to get the point under those circumstances

yes - I'm all for the ref playing the advantrage more, but when the team that made the infringement gets the advantage I fail to see how that helps much...  just glad we scored really, when was the last time we actually scored a penalty - I reckon the last penalties were thorpe, cureton, smith and parkin, all missed

That decision by the ref was absurd to say the least, how you can disallow a goal and give a penalty is beyond me, I was spitting feathers when that happened.

Our penalty was a blatant penalty but the ref should have had common sense.

Parkin got one for his hat trick at the end of last year, I forget the game. I think we won 4-2.

 Wrexham.....

How many Penalties did Parkin miss for us, I only remember one...Blackpool at home we drew 2-2
