As I said earlier, the Sheff Utd commentators said this ref was their favourite ref over the past few seasons - and that was in the first half!!

They said that!?

WOW

 

[Pentyrchjack]

I can't stand him either but that was not a red card tonight, be fair.

You are spot on - it wasn't a red card although a clumsy challenge

Right in front of me, haven’t seen the replay but thought it was a def red immediately

 

[Copamundial]

All of what you say about our limitations is true, but Sheffield United were poor tonight and I think we'd have stood a good chance of a point in that match, if it wasn't for the dickhead in the black.

Agree that they were poor but that shows exactly where we are, we simply can’t control a game, the way we started the second half was scandalous.
We don’t have a striker and we’re always going to be under pressure because we don’t have a midfield either.
Cardiff sign a striker and he scores on his second appearance, says it all really.

Darling makes a stamping motion towards the player, it didn't connect, but he gave the ref a decision to make

 

[monmouth]

It’s really weird, but I feel nothing, not a thing. I’ve forgotten the match already. Can’t be angry at the ref, Darling, Williams even, although he is a total berk.

Going to watch that new Clunes thing on ITV now.

 

[Smurph]

Just need to see how Grimes pulled out of a couple of challenges tonight.

We need shot of him asap.

 

[eteb]

And there it fucking is

Unreal

 

[eteb]

Need 6 wins to be safe. Can't see where 6 fckn draws are coming from. Stop blaming the ref, we were never in it.

What on earth do you mean never in it? We battered then first half saint

Get we
Don't like Williams but your post is just plain wrong there

 

[Swansea93]

With a decent coach I think they could get a good tuning out of some of these players tbh, do think we played better today in fairness against the leagues top team who didn’t look anything special.

Needs to be taken out of the team.

He should have been onto the ref and in his ear as soon as Sheffield Utd started playing up early in the 2nd half. He should have been putting decisions in his head and when the Darling decision comes along then he has to take a step back on his decision.......it was too easy for him to just get the red card out, he had it too easy from our captain.

 

[TheLoneRanger]

2-2

97th minute!!

I saw it from the South Stand and wasn't close up like you. Darling definitely lined up Brewster and it was an unnecessary challenge.

We should have been out of sight by half time but absolute no quality in the final 3rd.

I am not saying that Williams is the answer but changing manager will just be papering over the cracks(phrase used earlier ) that is lack of quality in the final 3rd and weakness throughout the squad in general.

We have had no injuries/suspensions at centre half all season,Abbey goes back and the board haven't acted and we are now getting punished for it.
Should have been sorted as soon as Abbey went back or at worse when Cabango got injured.

It's a shiitshow.

Did you hear Grimes say to the ref when the red card came out

"Ref, I don't think that's very fair mate. For sure it's a yellow"

Clear as day
