I thought on the day they were a niggly, whinging bunch... The number of fouls by them was ridiculous... The ref let them get away with murder and he is talking about player protection. They did nothing but whinge and moan to the ref all day. They really are a reflection of their manager. I hope we batter them down at their place as well.
What a load of rubbish, I find it hard to disagree with anything he said there. We did only really have 2 shots on goal first half and scored from both and there wasn't really much in the game. He praised Carlisle quite a few times there, lost count of the amount of times he said "credit to them" and he admitted the better team won.
I thought the referee was terrible with the majority of bad decisions going in Carlisle's favour. I didn't think it was a foul for the free kick which led to our first goal, the booking for the lad first half when Hope simply ran into him was laughable and it was a definite penalty for the foul after Gillespie spilled the shot second half. They went our way and we'll take that all day long but don't expect the opposition manager not to question them.
One final thought. It really shows the mentality of some folk when they boo a lad for cheating who's coming off the pitch with a bust nose! It wasn't a foul, just an unfortunate clash but the lad certainly wasn't feigning injury with blood pouring out his nose!
