Vincelot sent off for 2 fouls 1 yellow card for their team for kicking Maddison all game!!!
A distraction from a shocking team performance.Vincelot sent off for 2 fouls 1 yellow card for their team for kicking Maddison all game!!!
RCC took the first free kick from inside the box but Rickets touched the ball before it left the area which isn't allowed. He then made him re-take the free kick from inside the box again. It looked a bit messy but it was probably one of the few things he got right!The ref was shocking, the bit where he was going on at rcc to move the kick even though he was taking it from there.
He set the thing in motion very early on when Vincelot was nearly arm wrestled to the ground. That was a clear yellow card, all day long, any day of the week. After that he just lacked the balls to clamp down on anything. Truly awful.The ref was shocking, the bit where he was going on at rcc to move the kick even though he was taking it from there.

The ref was shocking, they should have had 3-4 bookings.
Having said that we lost because we weren't good enough and I agree with Bodak, Vincelot let the team down with that challenge on a yellow.
Still trying to get my head round why the ref made us take a corner to the opposite side that it went out?

Thing is Parsons, I don't think anyone is blaming the ref for the result.The ref never lost us the game today. We were very very poor and looked like a team who had never played with each other at times.
Yes the ref should have produced more cards but this this is why being a Coventry fan is so depressing at times. We blame everything we can....surprised we didn't blame the rugby pitch again! Did Nigel call in and blame the Wasps?
Nowhere to hide, we were shite today and the players need to stand up and be counted and the manager needs to pick a fecking side hat can play together.
The best part of the day was 50p coffee in the casino post match..

Let's not start believing excuses are being made here.
Bottom line is: Ref was dreadful. We were dreadful. There was only the one contentious decision that had any bearing on the game and that was whether there should have been a penalty for us when Murphy appeared to be fouled in the 6 yard box.
Other than that, nothing the ref did cost us the game. We lost the game because we were truly dreadful.
Doesn't excuse the fact though that the ref was dire.
Don't mix the two things up. I don't think for a second that people are saying the ref had a bearing on the result.
Don't know, because today was schoolboy stuff!WTF was bigi even on the pitch for today??? offered nothing going forward and even less defending, running around like a headless chicken (like people say JOB does),missing tackles and getting bypassed in midfield. When JOB came on at least we had some go forward injected in midfield and Rose looks a good addition too.
Linnington, the ref has always been wank and I dont think has ever had a good game in charge of us (conspiracy against us?)
Overall a bit of a depressing day, what has happened to our proper style of footy?
So very true.His constant dramatic hand signals were pathetic was like he was on stage, he seemed to enjoy the 'drama' he was creating im sure he gave a team warning to Scunthorpe about 30 mins in next foul would be a booking.....
Vincelot had a pop at him 10 mins before he was booked about not booking their player seemed to irk the ref and you knew he was going to get a yellow at the first opportunity then the red seemed to give the ref so much pleasure rewarding!
Farcical officiating but I think we've all started to become used to it!
Don't know, because today was schoolboy stuff!
Really embarrassing effort.
That was a penalty all day longThing is Parsons, I don't think anyone is blaming the ref for the result.
