I am all for refs following the new rules / guidelines - but it`s got to be fair both ways

[Bare bum]

Referee Sam Purkiss's stats this season

Not good

[Dublin Shrimp]

For those that aren’t watching we are clearly being done over here by a cheating referee and assistant.
I have never in my life witnessed such one sided officiating, there needs to be an investigation into it.
3 yellows were a joke and the sending off completely laughable.
We were playing really well and were completely on top and they’ve completely killed the game.
Disgrace

[Keith]

Love booked now! We've no chance of keeping 11 men on the pitch.

We need to get to 0-3 before the ref starts sending players off for breathing!

Well, that was pretty obvious. It was always going to end with a red card somewhere. I almost hope that Connolly did kick out after the ball [& camera] had moved away, because if he produced a straight red for what we saw on the video, you really can't imagine a worse decision.

[Old Man Kensey]

It really doesn't balance out over the course of the season. We never get the rub of the green.

Why are Radio Blackburn dedicating half time round up to an interview with Gareth Southgate?

[Edit: Anyone listening to Radio Lancs? Did they go to Quinny before I was able to switch on? In which case, I apologise! What did Quinny say about it all?]

I've just watched the sending off again. A foul should have been given to us, but the decision went to them. Connolly was trying to get up but seemed to be held back by their player. The problem then is that the camera pans away, and it's impossible to see what happened next!
Away commentary seemed to suggest that Connolly kicked out at their player.
It's going to be an uphill battle now. If only the chances we had earlier had gone in.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS. Keep on battling against the odds.

[Redalert1970]

If and it`s and if he has kicked out then he is a silly lad

3 match ban at least

[Keith]

FFS!!!! Mellon pulled back, clear yellow card... ...not even a foul.
Their lad goes right through McKeirnon, free kick, no card.

[Keith]

GET IN!!! McKiernan!!!

[Vinny]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0-2 COYMS!!!!

[AndyReifman]

LET'S GOOOO!!!! GET IN BOYS.

[Redalert1970]

Get innnnnnnn

[Bare bum]

GET IN !!!!

[Redalert1970]

Now battle and concentrate

[dannymorc1]

Brilliant. We are the better team with only 10 men. Got to win this now.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Keith]

Still time for some dodgy penalties from the ref, who may as well take them too!

[dannymorc1]

This ref is diabolical. Only need to touch one of their players and it's a foul.

[jbc.shrimp]

No.2..... Nothing more than deserved.

[Redalert1970]

Now now Keith lol lol

He would probably miss it and get it retaken

[black morse]

If and it`s and if he has kicked out then he is a silly lad

3 match ban at least

BBC says red card was for violent conduct.

[Bare bum]

3-0 kinnelll!

[Keith]

McKiernan hat-trick!

[AndyReifman]

INCREDIBLE! What a break. Really need to keep our shape and make sure we don't collapse from fatigue here.

[Vinny]

Or even 0-3 kinnelll!
