"......and then shoulder-barging a Cardiff player for his second yellow"
lucky for him then the ref didn`t see the knee high scissor challenge.

So another team becomes a victim of Warnock's cloggers - strange it was our players who were "mercilessly fouled until the other team has a player sent off".
On a serious point, how would that game have been refereed if it was being played at Elland Road? While we were physical, I cannot remember us committing any really bad fouls (we didn't have a player booked), but I think with a home crowd howling at him to start getting his cards out, the ref may react differently to how Kevin Friend did last night.

Ok, I know I have blue tinted spectacles but I thought Leeds were pretty dirty at times. Were we physical? Well yes probably, but Leeds also seemed to go down easier than a Barry girl on a hen night in Cardiff
Not usually a fan of Friend but thought he reffereed it superbly last night.
Wasnt falling for their nonsense. I liked how he called the captain over to have a word with their right winger who was throwing himself to the floor, then bleating to the officials.
No fuss, no nonsense refereeing without feeling the need to throw cards about left, right and centre.
Judging by the language this looks an American site. One can only wonder what a spectacular Wolves vs Leeds will dish up for the football purists when they get together. No fouls, the ball never losing contact with the grass and both teams with over 70% possession!
I haven't seen the replays but I certainly thought the first tackle was a straight red
