Good report but; I know you mention the poor refereeing, but no mention of the handball incident that would have given us a penalty at 1-0 up? Have you seen the screen shot posted in the match day thread?

Fair point Keith. But where do you start with someone like Kettle? I saw at least one tackle which went over the ball - possibly two - when he waved play-on; he missed at least thee hand-balls in my recollection and he allowed their no.2 to advance literally almost half way up the pitch to steal yards from a throw-in near the end whilst our players objected with every step he pinched. If you listed all the mistakes he made, there would be no room for the football. It was interesting to read the D3D4 editor's comment about my report: "Haha I have to laugh at your description of Trevor Kettle, widely accepted by most of our correspondents as the worse ref in the lower leagues." Too true: far too much use of the shaving foam and far too little consistency. Following the fracas at the end of the game, Kettle apparently gave Tranmere's Goalkeeping Coach a red card. But he wasn't the only guilty party by any means...
